Agreed, these budget printers are a project in themselves. So if you’re into tinkering/modifying/upgrading it may be in your wheelhouse. If you want to get into 3D printing to pick a print off a website and have it print perfectly every time, this probably won’t be a good printer for you.

That being said, getting one of these project printers throws you in the deep end, you’ll learn more about 3D printing hardware, and at an incredibly deep level. If you stick with the hobby, everything after the initial learning curve will seem easy

When I hover over the middle of the control bar, in the blank space, I get a pop-up like there’s supposed to be a button there that says “null”. I also hate how big the play/pause pop-up is on screen when you push that button, it takes almost a quarter of the screen!

Onshape is an amazing browser-based modelling software. It has a pretty easy learning curve as a bonus!
