I just got my first printer too. Some dude was selling an Ender 3 v2 in a junk shop for $30. I bought it, tinkered with it for a bit, spent $100 on bits for it, and it’s going like a champ now. New, it would have cost me $450. It took me like 2 weeks and a lot of input from this community, but I’m confident with it now. I highly recommend the printer, even for a total newb. Cura, TinkerCAD, and Blender are all free, and I’m basically just having a blast. Stay away from Bambu - even new to the game, I know that much. Good luck!

Outstanding, thanks for the visual aid 😀

Wall mount for a Switch, you say?

This bed is a miracle! Thank you so much!

I got one today. Thank you for your input!

Got the PEI today, per your suggestion. Just about to install it. Thanks again!

Gotcha, thank you.

Oh, absolutely lol I have my first print going now and I’m not doing anything to it that I don’t have to do… yet. It took me most of the day to figure out my firmware wasn’t functioning.

I had to replace the hot end because the tube was jammed and I couldn’t get the filament out. And I had to buy a screen because I’ll be damned if I’m plugging a random piece of hardware into my PC hahaha

Fascinating. I will look into this, instead of glass. Thank you!

Wow, thank you! It’s currently auto leveling but I get the feeling from what you wrote that I should have done way more manual leveling first. Oop.

I haven’t printed anything yet. Just did the hotend replacement and my bed is apparently overheating now. Wheeee.

I’m going to have to learn more before this all makes sense to me lol

I will look into this, thank you!
