Micro Center
Deal Details
Microcenter has the creality Ender pro 3 for $59. Pickup in store only. Not sure if this is just one store or all chains.
Sub$100 printers are rare, especially from name brands. No auto bed levelling and one color are limitations, but I think this is on the 'fark it, I'll try it out' territory.

"The Ender 3 Pro remains one of the best entry-level 3D printers in 2026, offering excellent value at $180-220
Key advantages include large community support, endless upgrade potential, and proven reliability with proper maintenance
Major drawbacks are manual bed leveling, limited out-of-box features, and steeper learning curve compared to newer plug-and-play models
Best suited for hobbyists who enjoy tinkering and want to learn 3D printing fundamentals rather than casual users seeking convenience"
