    Time For A 3D Printer Upgrade?!?! Keep, Upgrade, Something else?

    Yup! That's the new plan. :) Hopefully this is just a laugh since we don't (shouldn't) have any rules or issues with off-topic discussions. The only time I've ever even considered "policing" it is if the original poster had a very on-topic discussion and the whole thread went off-topic and the...

    Time For A 3D Printer Upgrade?!?! Keep, Upgrade, Something else?

    Creality offered to send me a new motherboard and a free spool of filament for my trouble. Nice of them to give good support and offer to make-good but: It's going to take 2 weeks to get the goods No guarantee it will even fix the problem What happens if I keep doing all this back/forth and it...

    Time For A 3D Printer Upgrade?!?! Keep, Upgrade, Something else?

    Good news: Printer arrived SUPER fast to my house... I think in just one day. Thanks Amazon! It was packaged well and everything went together pretty easily following videos online.

    What Are You Printing Today?

    Brilliantly stated, thank you @stratman ! Yes, this thread is for all types of printing... it just so happens that with my kids being older there isn't much need for me to color-print as much... and my big hobby has been 3D printing... so I can definitely understand the confusion. ... but it's...

    Time For A 3D Printer Upgrade?!?! Keep, Upgrade, Something else?

    Valid points... and honestly, I don't really see myself even wanting or needing to do much more than PLA for 99% of my use-cases. While I'm still excited about this new printer. There are definitely parts of me that are saying I should have stuck with the Ender-3 V2 since: I'm already very...

    Time For A 3D Printer Upgrade?!?! Keep, Upgrade, Something else?

    I feel like this is a sign to go with the Ender-3 S1 Lots of great upgrades... and the idea of having a 2nd printer with direct-drive that can do flexible filaments... sounds pretty good:

    Time For A 3D Printer Upgrade?!?! Keep, Upgrade, Something else?

    Wow @stratman ... get out of my head!!! LOL! You probably will never know how much I needed (and will always need) to hear those words! I'm often frugal to a fault and put off my own happiness for "well, this is good enough". Thank you for really direct and perfectly articulated points!!! Ya...

    Time For A 3D Printer Upgrade?!?! Keep, Upgrade, Something else?

    I started with my Monoprice Select Mini around 7/2017. It was a fine tiny printer, and great for getting me introduced to the hobby... but I needed bigger. So, just a few months later I went to the Creality CR-10, which has been a pretty great printer over the last 4.5 years. In that time a...

    I've had some success :) Web Based Slicing: https://grid.space/kiri/ (getting the printer settings correct was a bit of a pain) https://www.astroprint.com/ (had default settings for my CR10. Great interface, but some limitations in free account... worst being you can't upload STLs directly...
