Ew no. I’m still on my ender 3 pro version 1 from 2019. It’s upgraded to the teeth and works great.

There’s no way I’d throw away all that work for a locked down corporate spy machine that uses lots of proprietary, nonstandard parts.

And how much more have you spent on upgrading it than it would have cost to get a prusa or built a voron lol

  Maybe $100. Almost all of the upgrades were printed. I bought an all metal hotend and a glass bed. I think that’s it. Probably more like $70.

I’ve had mine for 3 years, 3 years of headaches and modifying and it still doesn’t work right.

I tried printing something huge, turns out one cormer of the bed doesn’t warm up enough. It also has started having these uneven layers as if the belts aren’t at the proper tension.

It’s been 3 years of solving issue a and getting issue b, to solving b and getting c etc. Neverending maintenance and zero usability.
