Hello! I am a former anycubic mega s victim, got it gifted by a friend(because he didn’t use it) and got sucked into the rabbithole of 3d printing. Printed a few parts after calibrating and cleaning it up, but then got punched in the face with onslaught of problems that dont make sense. Tried to fix 'em all, but in result just didn’t get to print anything for long. Now it shortcircuits itself when it starts up. So gonna salvage the thing for what I can.
In the meanwhile, I want to find a machines to look at that will increase my skills and knowledge further, not to just shortcut to just print stuff. Having available database of known problems will help a lot, that was the main issue I had with the mega S. Also something not expensive like the prusa mk4.(less than 400$ probably) Any recommendations for such a machine?
Sorry for such a question, if there are treads on reddit or lemmy, send me links to them, I will be happy to read them!
Ender 5 pro been kicking right along for like 4 years.
I have an Ender 5 Pro, too. You can use it out of the box to create good print results, but you can also tweak it to whatever degree you want.
I installed a BLTouch and print using OctoPrint. I always wanted to do some more mods like bed support struts, etc. but never really cared since the results are great to me.
