I've never used an ender but my friends who have them have mixed views. They seem to work great once you get them set up and dialed in, but they're a pain to set up and dial in. The v1's seem to be a lot more finicky than the v3's, but the tradeoff there is the v3's are more expensive. With them being fully opensource they are a lot easier to build automation around and integrate into other workflows, but if you're looking for a simple standalone, I think Bambu, Elegoo and Flashforge have competitive or even better options in the same price points.random question, but do you have an opinion on the Creality Ender 3 printer? I was just thinking about buying one, hopped over to BYC to make sure I wasn't missing anything, and well...... I'm easily distracted lol![]()
It really depends on what you want to do with it and what you want to spend, both in actual dollars as well as time investment.
