  3D printing is one of those rabbit holes where you never stop learning, and that usually means upgrading or switching machines at some point :) People buy what makes sense for their needs, their values, and their budget. It’s definitely night and day between an old Ender 3 and newer printers from any brand. I want to make it clear again before someone read the entire post and turns it into a sterile debate: I’m not saying one brand is better than another, but I think it’s fair to push back on misconceptions (“people saying if you just want plug n play - go Bambu”) - especially when influencers are paid to promote products. Feature-wise and setup-wise, comparable models from both manufacturers are extremely close.

  I’m genuinely glad you’ve found your new toy :) Have a lot of fun with it ! Make sure to follow some very good advice posted by others in here Re: upgrades and filaments.

  Not trying to start another flame war, but I was just talking with someone who runs a small print farm and had a similar misconception about Creality setup. Contrary to what people often think, Creality printers are plug-and-play these days too. Nothing against Bambu (at least on that front ^^), but they’re way more pushed by influencers, which makes it seem like Creality hasn’t evolved. Honestly, both are very close in terms of hardware, performance, and ease of use.

  Enjoy your new printer!

  Creality Helper Script is a must have. My K1C has run it through the very first second. Getting as much open source (for a reasonable budget) and control on my marines is the main decision factor for my purchases.

  Ok. I didn’t find anything specific for Kobra 3 v2 (though I didn’t spend more than 5 minutes ^^), but I cam across this profile for Kobra 3. Maybe you’ll get lucky with it… printables.com/…/982339-anycubic-kobra-3-orca-pro…

  With the number of (custom) printers supported by Orca you picked my interest :) What’s your printer?

  I had no issues with any brands I’ve tried so far (PLA or PETG): Creality, Elegoo, Polymaker, Sunlu.
  That’s also true for even some obscure brands I’ve tried because I paid only $6/kg for them in a discount local store: Ziro, Do3D, iBOSS
