Please reply even though you factually did not know this. I seriously want to know why you are on a deal forum to not save people money.
P.S. Im an Ender 3 V2 user, but I don't adhere to company loyalty so I will state the truth and not base my replies off, "feelings".
EDIT: P.S.... Sainsmart Amazon is a B on FakeSpot and the link I posted is an A.
Honestly I'd have to question the quality of every component, just because they are "cloned" does not mean they are of comparable quality. Could be great though...could be crap. Searching "Voxelab" the most reviews I can find on Amazon is 200 which is rather low. Again, not saying I know anything about the quality but this NON-clone SainSmart has a higher rating and more reviews:
https://www.amazon.com/SainSmart-...B07DGV2L8Z .
By your own logic the SainSmart is the clear winner.
Resin is TOXIC.
I would not buy this for just any kid. The kid needs to have demonstrated maturity and respect to be able to safely handle resin printing. Fumes can damage your lungs and just touching the uncured resin (while its a liquid) on to bare skin can cause chemical burns.
Resin models require them to be washed with iso-propyl alcohol after printing and its extremely recommended to have a device to further "cure" them to make sure all resin absolutely is hardened.
If they still seems fine to you then yes, Elegoo Mars 2 is a great first resin printer.

The Geetech sensor has been great but it didn't come with much documentation or wiring. I already had plenty of small gauge wire to use and there were enough tutorials online to figure out what to do.
If they still haven't fixed this, I'd recommend flashing to a newer version of Marlin firmware. (Although you may need to buy some parts to flash if you do not have them handy.)
"Thermal Runaway Protection" is a VERY important safety feature.
Its a "re-badge" sorry, "Clone" taxed you too much in the grey matter.
I tell them a Voxelab "Clone" is better and they argue back with ZERO experience that a Sainsmart "rebadge" is original... they are all original. Its like the folks in here never heard of how the Chinese manufacturer stuff these days.
Your rude demeanor is helping kill this information, because people focus on that instead of your point.

They are not the same. Some constructions are different. Maybe some small part could be used on both machines.

Also I, like most people here, never said Voxelab was bad, we merely said you do not know what a clone actually is. Saying someone is purchasing a weaker product is an idiotic claim when the other product was 25% cheaper. You can always spend more money to get a better product, but the benefits may not outweigh the added cost.
With all that said, if the coupon was working, I think the two devices would be on equal footing. Without the coupon, I would spend the extra $25 for the Voxelab and its upgrades.

If some construction is different then why only some small part can be used by both. Pretty easy to tell the aren't allowed to say they are the same damn machine with differences in stock setup.
P.S.... just so you understand something. This deal was not originally $135 as it was updated yesterday.
It was $155, which is how it is listed now. Another user added in the $20 off 100 code bringing the price down yesterday.
So no, $155 is not 25% cheaper than $179 and my original post was made when the price was $155. If you lot have tried to inflict knowledge it was that context matters.
I will be printing few upgrades.
1) What Application you recommend?
Cura or Simplify3D
2) Do you recommend PLA or PLA+ for upgrades?
3) What upgrades you recommend from get go?
4) I have Raspberry Pi Model B(Original) can I use this for OctoPrint or you guys recommend discard this and get rpi3 or 4?
5) is there a forum cater to SainSmart Ender 3? if yes, can you advise where to look?

Either PLA or PLA+ is fine. I printed new PSU cover, Mobo cover and extruder system from Silk PLA which is arguably one of the weakest versions.
I build my Ender with upgrade parts from the get-go....
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B08JQ78L8C You need these. You can print new filament spool rollers and new pulleys making the movement of the filament buttery smooth for the extruder.
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B08LYRBRYL Don't bother with the stock springs or the springs recommended by others. These silicone ones not only reduce vibration, but they don't deform over time from compression and heat provided by the bed. Blue nuts also look better than basic bi*** red everyone has
https://www.amazon.com/Authentic-...B07ZMFP2L8 Any of the metal extruders are almost mandatory as is the Capricorn bowden tubing...eventually the stock will crack (even though it has a metal core) and crappier Bowden tubes with bad tolerances will snag filament or even deform from the hot end heat.. Pro-tip. there is a metal sleeve, tiny one that goes over the retaining screw to hold in the spring on the extruder. Remove this. Don't install it. Let the spring use just the screw to hold it in place. The single 1mm the sleeve is, pushes the extruder too hard against the filament and softer filaments like Silk will deform and jam the Bowden tubing... eventually.
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07XBVF1C9 Upgrade to the Pi 4... only need the 2bg version if its dedicated to a single machine. I use this version with a touch screen. It very much replaces the screen module that comes with the machine. You don't "need" a screen since octopi/octoprint naturally runs headless (once setup it just runs and you use whatever web browser you want to connect to it). I use the screen so I always have instant visual data on how its going.
If you need the machine to be quieter, the majority of the noise is from the fan in the PSU. Replace that first and print the new cover.
