Whenever someone I know wants to buy a 3D printer, they ALWAYS ask me what the best printer is. The question is very vague, what am I supposed to say when I don't know what they're looking for. However, after almost two years of experience in the 3D Printing industry, I can confidently say that the Ender 3v2 is one of the best printers out there to learn a lot and still retain high print quality.
The Rundown
Let's start with a quick overview of why you should buy before we get into the nitty gritty details. Because of the low $209 price tag the Ender 3v2 3D printer is one of the most widely bought 3D printers throughout the U.S, because of this there is an influx of tutorials and information on everything from upgrades to repairs. Not only that, but the printer is incredibly versatile. Do you want to print little desk toys? Great! You can. Do you want to print functional parts that sell? You can do that too. Or, if you want to make little repairs for your families home to save money? Cool. You can do that and much more with this 3D Printer.
