The Ender 3 was the frustrating entry point for so many people. I’d love to see a survey all Ender 3 owners to see how many gave up on 3D printing and how many switched to better machines.
Ender 3 was the perfect start if you wanted 3d printers as your new hobby. I learned enough modding, tuning and fixing that thing to design and build my second printer mostly from scratch.
If you instead wanted 3d printing to be the hobby, it was the wrong choice.
I learned this with my ender-3.
