Get ready for the influx of poorfags buying ender 3s from thrift stores I bet you feel old now
>>3000133Oh cool, maybe I'll get one
>>3000133Enders were at thrift stores and garage sales years ago, there isnt going to be some new influx
>>3000133Fifty bucks is too much for that. Maybe $20 to part it out.
>>3000133Why the hate?That thing can make small good pla prints and it will last years and years with little easy maintenance. 50 dollars is a good price.
>>3000297No way, I was getting the pro version (better psu, silent drivers , few other minor upgrades) for $100 plus a free roll of inland PLA over 7 years ago
>>3000297Depends on who's buying the printer; I'd never recommend used anything for a first printer, let alone an Ender 3. $50 for a backup printer, or a platform for a laser engraver? that i could see.
>>3000133I'm more concerned about the missing fire extinguisher in the background
>>3000455It's fine, just never use the heated bed.
>>3000455There is no way to know it is missing. The sign is on all four sides, but the extinguisher could be out of view of the photo.
>>3000133They probably hot donated for being absolutely shit. I wouldn't take one of those time vampires for free.
>>3000133mine works well after several upgrades and a lot of tuning but I've had it for years and the new stuff is 1000 times easier to get good prints out of.
>>30014743DTouchPEI sheetDouble sprocket extruder upgradeYou don't need more to make the original ender 3 usableI slice with cura's default preset, press start print and it just werks everytime
>>3000133I would buy desu, mine works well, I don't know where the hate comes from.
>>3000528I stole it.
>>3000133> 3d printing is now affordablestill not interested
>>3000289Sold my old broken one (I told the buyer it was broken) for $60 about two-three months back. Retards are willing to pay a lot for junk.
>>3000133It's a great platform, anon. Kind of a crappy printer, but a great platform.
>>3000133me omw to buy a 3d printer at a thrift store: gee i just don't already have enough plastic tat and useless garbage in my house, maybe with this i can add some more and turn into a woman at the same time from all the estrogen fumes and then post on reddit about it.its hot plastic melted together poorly. nothing useful was ever made on a 3d printer and if it was it wouldn't last a week. grow up.
>>30059783d printing was originally called rapid prototyping for a reason. Anyway, obviously not consoomer tier plastishit, but you couldn't do picrel any other way.
>>3000297My theory is that OP is a combination of two kinds of faggots: The fags that go to a cheap shop and try out lowball everything because seeing a digit go down gives them an orgasm & The fags that are extremely poor/cheap and can't afford anything they want so they overcompensate by saying they hate it out loud.
>>3006021>doesnt recognize the tripfag oplurk moar>bragging about wasting extra money on mantoysthis is a cheapfuck board dipshit
>>3000133Theres a bunch of cool conversion projects that start off of an ender3 like thr wire EDM rack robo madeSo being able to pick one up for dirt cheap seems like a great deal even if its just for parts
>>3000297>little easy maintenancefuck you and the countless hours i have spent bed tramming
>>3000455especially since that's a base ender so probably doesn't have the overheat protection they added later.
>>3003052>3d touchdont you need to muck with the firmware for that? also don't hook up the wrong motors to an ender 3, it kills the stepper drivers, and they are impossible / difficult to replace with SHIT TOOLS
