Several years ago I leapt enthusiastically into the realm of 3D printing by buying a massive, expensive delta-type printer. I had to put it together myself, which was fun, but after that I struggled to get it to print well. Even simply trying to get the prints to stick to the bed were difficult, leading me to add huge brims to all my parts which were a pain to cut off afterward. Eventually I gave up fiddling with it and it’s been gathering dust ever since.
I know that a lot of you treat the hobby as an opportunity for endless tinkering and optimization, which is great, but I think I’ve realized that what I’d prefer is something that just works out of the box with a minimum of adjustment.
The ender3 V3 se is super low cost and super easy. Get a pei sheet and sticking shouldn’t be a problem. They’re slow but as long as you don’t print a ton it’s not a big deal. I upgraded to an sv08 and it’s great. It has a bunch of bells and whistles, is super fast, is totally open source, and has a big print volume. I recommend it if you want to spend a little more I got mine on fb marketplace for 400 so maybe look around and find a deal.
I‘ve never heard of the + model. I have a normal ender3 V3 SE and got it for around 200.
Yeah you’re right idk why I added the +.
And the price? Im sorry to tell you, but depending on where you live you live, this is almost double of the price I paid for a new one in germany.
