Price seems totally reasonable to me. Whenever I research the cheaper printers, I read about all the upgrades people have to implement. This ends up costing more time and $$.
Can’t agree more. I bought a Creality Ender 3, and added since: a new bed plate, a leveling sensor, a raspberry pi to control it
For the future, I know I’ll replace the fans, and probably the main board
That’s without adding my time: updating the firmware (overheating protection seems cool), calibrating and configuration of the various bit (like the probe position relative to the hot end), finding the correct slicer and config for it.
Now it works fine.
Still, it cost me way more than the list price to get to this point. A prusa mini would have been a better investment !
