I see a Creality Ender 3 V3 (not SE or KE) for $130 refurbished, and also a Creality CR-10 SE for $103 refurbished on ebay. Are either or these a good choice to get into the hobby, or am I making a mistake? Should I rather buy a Bambu? My budget is around $100-$200 max. Please advise.


I’ve always heard “if you want to print things, buy Bambu. If you want to fix your printer, but an ender 3”
Wow, when did this flip happen? When I got into 3D printing, Ender 3 or any other printers based on it since it was open source was the printer to get. I’ve got a VoxelLab Aquila which is an Ender 3 clone and I have not had to do much fiddling with it aside from leveling the bed.
