I'm running an Ender 3. Although through the 3.5 years I've had it it's had so many parts changed and upgraded it's turning into a real ship of Theseus. Upgraded the mobo, hotend, direct drive extruder, raspberry pi for octoprint, enclosure, and bltouch for bed leveling.
It's definitely been a rewarding hobby, learning to use fusion and building things from scratch.
Mutant ender3 crew! I think the only original part left on mine are the axes and bed. I kept getting jams though, finally one that oozed out all over the heater block and it was just so frustrating to clean and reset all the time that I finally jumped on an ender3 s1 pro when I saw one for $300 on amazon. Does everything I upgraded my OG ender3 to do, and 🤞 no jams so far 🤞 !
Sometimes I wish I had just gotten something better to start with, but the experience of going through all those upgrades and truly learning how everything works was well worth the time, cost, and frustration.
