I have found a creality ender 3 pro on facebook marketplace for $75, would this be a good 3d printer at a good price for my first time?

I probably wouldn’t be printing too often, but I have a number of ideas for things that I’d like to try making.

Ender 3 pros are about as entry level as you can get. $75 is a good price for one, but honestly I do recommend getting a nice one if you know 3d printing is gonna be something you enjoy. If you just want to print an occasional part and don't mind tinkering, an ender 3 pro will get it done.
