Same price from amazon,try this link [amazon.com], if it works, you're set, otherwise, go to the next one and enter the promo code... if that fails too, just go to the originating deal site at the bottom - it's a monetized promo, but not *my* monetized link. Save 35% with promo code 353DA2A8 [amazon.com]

If that doesn't work, it's on the front page of 3d printing deals dot com. https://3dprintingdeals.com/

I know slickdeals needs to make their cut, but making it impossible to post deals with a simple link on deals sites... vomit
Just an example, I print replacements of broken plastic parts that manufacture no longer carry or never made available. I used those replacement parts and fixed things from doorbell button, home appliance all the way to my cars.
Don't even think about it at this price, buy one.
I've been nothing but happy with my S1, I paid 350 for it.

No Microcenter here but I was able to place an order for $279.99 + shipping. $5.99 for regular, $8.99 for 2-day, $11.99 for 1-day. They charged my cc but no order confirmation yet.

It was very confusing to get their billing system to accept my address. I had to omit the unit number from the Billing Address section and then also fully spell out "Street," it would not take the more correct "St", even though their website actually displays a pop-up trying to correct it to that form.

From their site:

Quote :
For security and accuracy, we require that the billing address entered matches with the one on file with your bank. We apologize if you experience any issues when placing an order online. In the event you get an error message, here are just a few things you can try when placing your order:

1) Spell out any numbers on addresses where the street name is a number. Examples:

3rd Street -> Third Street
123rd St -> One Hundred Twenty Third Street
2) Only enter the Suite/Apartment Number on the shipping address.

Leave the Suite/Apartment Number off of the Billing Address.

Don't get the open box (they are 200 at the Tustin one). Those are just returns that they give a once over and throw them back on the floor

You can place the S1 similar to an ender 3 V2 but with all the upgrades you'd normally do straight from the factory:
Auto bed leveling, dual-Z motors, direct drive extruder, etc. The S1 is regarded as a great choice under 500 bucks, lots of reviews online.

thanks - very tempting. honestly i bought a ender 3 but never unboxed due to investment in those upgrades. sounds like this is a good way to cut my losses and skip to something with a lot more capability out of the box.

If that's the situation this is exactly the printer I'd recommend. Ready to print straight out of the box with all the quality of life upgrades done for you.

A solid option if you aren't ready to tinker with the printer and would rather get right into printing.

I got two of the $99 ender 3's last fall. I've done the "normal" upgrades pei builid plate, silicone bed springs, metal extruder, bl touch, capricorn tubing etc. Aside from the dual z and direct drive I feel like this is a lateral move for me. Definitely seems like a good deal but I'm having a hard time justifying getting this particular one personally.

You've essentially made an S1 with your upgrades, this is a good starting point, not so much an upgrade for your setup.
