Just about everything i wanted to print, still.

I've reached the point where i should just surrender my ender 5 plus and all the mods, just buy a bambu lab or something that actually works well from the factory.

Ew no. I'm still on my ender 3 pro version 1 from 2019. It's upgraded to the teeth and works great.

There's no way I'd throw away all that work for a locked down corporate spy machine that uses lots of proprietary, nonstandard parts.

And how much more have you spent on upgrading it than it would have cost to get a prusa or built a voron lol

[–] Rodeo@lemmy.ca 1 points 1 year ago

Maybe $100. Almost all of the upgrades were printed. I bought an all metal hotend and a glass bed. I think that's it. Probably more like $70.
