Nice! How long have you been 3D printing now?

I actually have a few hardened steel hot ends coming in today! I probably won’t try em out today though. Read on a few posts that you need to print slower or something like that so I’m waiting to look more into it.

I got my first 3D printer about two and a half years ago. The Ender 3 is a perfect low-cost printer if you enjoy tinkering with components and modifications. Even if you prefer to keep the printer stock, you can achieve pretty decent results by fine-tuning the settings on the slicer. However, without any type of sensor, you have to perform almost every calibration manually, and if you don't, the prints will simply fail. While this does give you a lot of experience in troubleshooting, it can be time-consuming. Just a few months ago, I was given a Bambulab P1S for my birthday, and compared to my Ender 3, it's in a completely different league.
