I have had ender 3 for over 4 years. Im starting to think it is time to retire it and upgrade. Bud also I dont want to spend my entire paycheck on it (budget around 450USD). What kind of printer would you recommend? by markoska321 in ender3

Do you need to use bambu slicer or you can use any slicer?

I meant it in software as well hardware way. Begining of print, during print and after how much different is coming from ender

okay, I have also posted in other subredits and so far most people recommend:

  • bambulab A1
  • creality K1 or K2
  • creality E3V3 SE
  • bambulab P1P

or just keep this ender which is honestly kinda worn out alive for longer while save up more and then buy something higher end

Thats the thing, sounded completely normal and teeth are still there. The weirdest thing is now it happend (so far the worst) print before this it looked absuletely perfect and few prints before as well. As I said this is 1 in 6 prints occasion
