Hey, I’m a complete newbie when it comes to 3D printing. I have a chance to pick up this printer second hand, and I was wondering what the community thinks of the product. Would this printer be decent for a beginner? Thanks!

    Ender 3’s required lots of tinkering or upgrades to make them happy

    I think the community is a bit notorious for over modding the ender 3 beyond what was strictly necessary. I’ve seen a ton of unnecessary mods over the years and more than a few issues from poorly executed mods. Now that said, I have a sample size of one for personal experience. There are a couple weak points in the design, but they are easily correctable when they do fail. Even most of the good mods are more of a nice to have than required. Of those many are parts you can print with the stock ender, which is decent practice.
