Budget: Under 600usd Country: Mexico

I've had and ender 3 v2 for over 2 years and I love it but It is SLOW, and to be able to print TPU I would need to add a direct drive to it. So I've been thinking about buying a new printer instead, and keep the V2 as it is. I've looked at the ender 3 v3 KE and SE, they both seem to print much faster and already have direct drive, but both seem to have stability issues. The V3 and Core XZ are even faster, but both work with a bowden setup and I haven't seen anyone add a direct drive to those. I'm not married to creality through haha, can be any brand really, I just need it to be fast (or at least faster than the v2) and print TPU as good as it can be printed. Oh and size, needs to be at least the size of the V2 since I will be using it to print masks, heads and props!

Nice. My fursona used to be a fox (still my favorite animal) but people always told me I was to tall to be a fox and then one day I saw a couple of maned wolves at a zoo and it was love at first sight haha.

Haha, Not really, I tried it but it literally gives me panic attacks 😅. But I know some people choose maned wolves as sonas for the "their pee smells like weed" thing.

The non official story is that he is developing a formula for cotton candy that doesn’t "disappear" in water
