A while ago I had an Ender 3 Pro which I upgraded with a BL-Touch and self-printed parts. It worked great and was reliable but not something I would call plug and play.

Is there a clone that's relatively plug and play? I don't mind assembling but don't want constant readjustments.

Have a look at the Sovol SV-06. It is a direct knockoff of the Prusa Mk3 and a seemingly decent one. Only have a Prusa myself so I can’t speak for the Sovols reliability but heard nothing but good things about it.

Thank you! Looks promising and it's a price I can justify :)

I agree. Went from ender 3 to sovol svo6+. I like it.

I got an sv06 a few weeks ago as my first printer and I really like it.
