I grew up with $20 walmart blenders, and hated anything that required a blender.

Recently bought a ninja and there is no going back. I'll never use a crappy blender again.

Anything else like that?

It's comforting to know I'm not alone. My Ender3 was a money sink that just kept getting worse. I have no idea why they're praised so commonly.

what were some of the issues you had with it?,

[–] Robert7301201@slrpnk.net 2 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Bed adhesion, nozzle clogging, inconsistent extrusion. It was always some issue and it was difficult to figure out the root cause. I kept buying better parts to try and fix things but at some point I decided to cut my losses. Truthfully I don't know if it was my fault or the printer's.

ive been using an old cr10s for the past 5 years. I've done a bunch of upgrades and stuff over the years. I have had problems with adhesion and inconsistent extrusion but those were my fault. never really had many nozzle clogs tho, that's probably more of a filament thing

I've had Ender 3 pro for 2 ish years now, and I love the machine. Surely it does require some tinkering, but when it's dialed it's damn good for 200e printer
