Comment on So which budget printer to buy?
_haha_oh_wow_@sh.itjust.works 3 months agoPartly, time is money but partly IDK, I’ve spent at least $200 upgrading mine with scaffold reinforcements, BL touch, a better hot end, and a few other QOL things and I’ve spent more on the CR10 than I did on the MK3S+ but it still doesn’t work as well as the Prusa. Granted, the print volume is bigger but I hardly ever print anything big enough to take advantage of it.

Agreed that time is money, and I’ve spent a fair amount of time on mine. I think the worst time-sink was after converting to direct drive and basically having to start from scratch on all my slicer settings, and then working out cable management to reclaim my Z height. At one point I was playing with faster speeds (thus the dual-Z upgrade) but eventually I want to switch to a 0.2mm nozzle and try to dial in miniatures (HO scale trains). I would be better off switching to a resin printer for that but I don’t have an option for good ventilation so that’s not really a consideration right now.
