You might want to try those total conversion projects. There are a few that take parts from one or two Ender 3 and turn the machine into a modern CoreXY machine.
Comment on I'm sorry for who fell for the relentless marketing

I’m in the corner with my Ender 3 that barely works and is a pain in the ass but hasn’t had a recent controversy because it’s old.

I’m in the other corner with a P1S still on firmware 1.7 putting like 16 hours of print on it a day (mainly my wife printing decoration and trinkets). It’s just th internet finding a new rage bait. The printers are fine, the company is dumb for generating controversy (maybe negligent for the fires). This too shall pass.

I love/hate my fucking Ender 3. I love it cause I got it for free and it’s my first printer. But boy have I just wanted to take a hammer to it at times. Though, I can use any software I want, no internet connection, and it’s been forcing me to actually understand how that dang printer works. And fuck, when I’m ready to go down that rabbit hole, I can mod it out. I can’t beat that flexibility.

You shouldn’t give a fuck of your choice of 3D printer’s manufacturer is controversial.
HP and Dell suck a fat one, but I don’t give it a moments thought when I’m printing out hollow Earth leaflets to hand out at the mall food court.

Hollow earth? What sort of new-age conspiracy is that? True believers know the earth is a turtle.

At least you’re not a flat earther. Etidorpha, am I right?
