A while ago I had an Ender 3 Pro which I upgraded with a BL-Touch and self-printed parts. It worked great and was reliable but not something I would call plug and play.
Is there a clone that’s relatively plug and play? I don’t mind assembling but don’t want constant readjustments.
I would honestly go with a Sovol SV06 if you want a prusa clone, and if you want a bed slinger that has a lot of good value, go with the Artillery Sidewinder X2. Newegg sells it for $300. Already has literally every upgrade anyone here will tell you to get - direct drive, touch probe, 110v SSR heated bed, oldham couplers on the Z, belted dual Z, touch screen, usb, volcano hot end, titan extruder, the whole kit and kaboodle. And they use a nice edge-card style connector so when you put the XZ frame on it, it connects everything in the print head so it’s dummy-simple to assemble too.
On top of all that, it’s a 310x310 build volume. So it really is a crazy nice machine for the price. It even has self-adjusting XZ V-wheels on the X gantry so you’re not having to deal with eccentric nuts.
About the only thing this machine is lacking is a PEI build surface.
