I thought I was the only one

I have a e3v2, and I already have more in upgrades in it than I paid initially for the printer, each one to “fix” an issue I was having - dual z to fix x gantry from sagging, microswiss NG extruder when my regular extruder broke, the “yellow springs” and now a cr touch as I was getting real sick of manual leveling after a year of use. If you buy that printer, you will learn a lot about how it works and how to fix it. It says you’re getting an automatic leveler, but take the time to learn how to manually level. The ABL helps but it’s not a magic bullet. Also, if the 2 rolls of filament you’re getting are open to the atmosphere you’ll want to make sure to dry them, otherwise you’ll learn a whole other aspect of 3d printing that will drive you nuts.

Don’t ever think that just because a guitar is “inexpensive” it makes it “cheap”. I have a Parker Fly, a SG special that I swapped in EMG pickups and a standard Strat, but somehow I always gravitate to my “inexpensive” Ibanez RG (cant recall the submodel at the moment, im at work). Partially because I’m terrified of hurting my Parker 🤣

As long as you play it and it makes you happy, it’s the best guitar in the world. Who cares what the snobs say??!?!

What printer are you using? I keep having warping issues on my e3v2 with pla+, wondering if it might be worth trying petg

With you there. I think 9 is the floor, but I’m capping it at 11. Opening night at KC isn’t helping.

Yeah, Ken Parker sold the company back in the 00’s if I recall correctly. Mainly a lot of hard rock/metal, but I’ll occasionally get bluesy on it. Can take whatever you throw at it, that’s for sure!!

I love it, but I get that a lot of people don’t. It’s not really the kind of guitar you want to play if you generally play sitting down. If you’re actually up and moving around though, it’s a dream. Can play an hour set and barely even know its there, it only weighs 4.5 lbs. I also love the thinness of the neck and how fast it plays.
