Comment on Do NOT buy Creality

That’s a series shame to hear about. Creality has been a staple of the community since the reprap days. I don’t think I can count the number of people I know who had an ender as their first 3d printer.
It kind of sounds like they’re struggling with the transition from hobbiest products to appliances and are losing some of their soul along the way.
Sorry you’re going through that, but thank you for sharing.

My first was a real cheap thing from Monoprice, but after that failed my second was an Ender 5 I got in 2020. It’s been great and I’ve had no complaints, no desire to get another FDM printer at all. Even neglecting the machine and letting it get dusty in my basement, it still fires up and prints fine every few months when I need to use it (as long as the filament is still dry).
Sucks to hear another company is going downhill (even though Creality was always a little bit sketchy).
