hey, leave my ender 3s alone. they're trying their best. honestly, these machines are unstoppable if you're willing to spend money on spare parts every once in a while. my 3 pro can print TPU with the stock bowden setup and an upgraded extruder.

    People often shit on the cheap Creality printers, and sure, the quality control is not great (and don't expect any customer support), but I'm having significantly fewer problems with my Ender 3 V2 at home than we are at work with our Snapmaker 2.0 A350 (costs about 5-10 times at much).

    I've had my V2 for a few years, and after getting a textured PEI spring steel build plate and changing the bed springs, it's been super reliable and consistent. No other upgrades needed so far.

    Comparing the cost of a Snapmaker with an Ender isn't really fair as one is a 3-in-1 with laser and CNC and 3D printing all in one and the engineering costs it took to accomplish that in a reasonable form factor. The increased cost isn't from having a higher quality printer.
