Congratulations Andy :-)

You not only produced a concise and informative post with all relevant information - so rare it's a thing of true beauty.

But inadvertently pointed out why ender 3's are not neccessarily a good buy.
Just out of curiosity - have you ever added up all the extra money you've spent on the machine ?
It would be interesting to add that to the original cost and then see what machines you could have bought for the combined cost.

I am genuinely impressed with your post - if only all our members were so forthcoming with information.
Butt-blaster(really ? lol) sounds like he knows what he's talking about :-)
