I have an opportunity at an older Ultimaker 2 for $450. I am not sure the Ultimaker 2 is worth $450 as it is probably 5+ years old but I have seen videos of it run and it seems to work well. Thoughts?

I have been going back and forth over what I want. I currently have an Ender 3 with a lot of mods and it pretty much sucks to deal with day in and day out. Here is what I want: 1. Something that is...
More info. If you switch to this mobo when you compile the firmware the instructions have you bring of the configuration.h and configuration_adv.h from the...
I think I fixed it. I had to comment out #define MESH_BED_LEVELING and uncomment #define AUTO_BED_LEVELING_BILINEAR.
Also #define GRID_MAX_POINTS_X and #define GRID_MAX_POINTS_Y are set to 5...
I am having an issue with my bltough on my Ender 3. When I run the G29 command I get the error no bed leveling data. How do I get the bed leveling points programmed in so it will probe the bed in...
OH and that installed pic is incorrect. There is an actual plug on the board for the bltouch so I didn't need that adapter and I had to switch the grd and 5v wires on the bltouch lead.
I had some issues getting my bltouch to work while compiling the new firmware. It is working now. I am currently working on getting it calibrated with simplify3d and printing a good first layer. It...
I fixed it. Yay!
I had the #define X_MIN_POS 0 and #define Y_MIN_POS 0 screwed up.
I uncommented#define Z_SAFE_HOMING and now it is trying to go down and detect with the bltouch off of the bed on the back right corner instead of the front left. Any ideas?
So I replaced my Ender 3 motherboard with a BIGTREETECH SKR Mini E3 V1.2.
I had to compile new Marlin firmware and enable the bltouch. Before with my factory motherboard it would auto home to the...
Firmware has been a pain in the butt to get working but WOW is it super quiet now. You can barely hear the motors. I am going to bed. I will report back more later.
Si I broke the USB connector on my Ender 3 and it was intermittently not running the extruder motor during prints so I decided to buy a cheap mobo to replace the factory one. I will detail what I...
I found someone online with ten Monoprice maker select plus printers for sale at $120 each. I thought about one to replace my ender for now but decided to just get a cheap $36 motherboard to fix it...
I'm staying way away from that hictop. Just a clone of a Creality cr10 which looks like a big ender 3. Blech.
I think I am leaning towards a Prusa i3 MK3S kit and building it myself.
Thoughts on this one? Can it be put into an enclosure and print ABS, etc. or am I better off with the QIDI X-Plus at a...
My biggest issue with the Ender 3 is the non-stop maintenance and calibration. It will print fine for a few days and then you have to manually level the bed because it is waaaay off even though I use...
So which printer would be best in the sub $1500 range overall? I want something easy that I don't have to constantly mess work with a large print area.
So I have an Ender 3 with bltouch and other mods. I feel that I am at my wits end with this printer. It is a constant pain in my butt. I bought Simplify3d thinking that maybe the better support...
