No faster way to hate the hobby than purchasing this unit. Spend some extra money and buy the newer tech if you are just getting into this space.

This would have been great 10 years ago folks...I cannot stress how out dated these things are.

for an "extra" 60 bucks you can get an A1 mini right now which is the difference akin to kitty hawk and the moon landing.

I wish people would stop with ignorant comments like this. The Ender 3V3 family of printers are not the old, problematic Ender 3's of the past. They are good printers. If this is all you know you are likely to be quite happy with it.

The problem is prices on even better printers have dropped to the point that it's really hard to justify a V3SE for more than say $80 when the Flashforge 5M is around $160. The FF is just so much faster and has some other quality of life advantages. However, the V3SE can still produce good prints. The only reason someone who hate buying it is realizing they could be going twice as fast for $30-40 more.

This is Creality's fault for sticking with the Ender-3 brand, but the V3-SE is much closer to a Bambu A1 Mini than an OG Ender 3 in terms of performance and reliability.

That said, as @ZeeDuck said, the Flashforge ad5m for $160 is a better value. If I were buying today I'd probably stretch for the AD5X with MMU for $240. The ecosystem has shifted to multi-material and a lot of the newer models assume you have one.
