damn you slick deals. 110 otd is pretty cheap for a 3d printer (from what ive seen). hope this is a good choice for a 3d printing noob, in terms of ease of use and decent prints.....

Judging from the eBay feedback for this one and a cursory search of Reddit comments, it does appear to work pretty well. One person does advise checking the bolts for tightness (not overtightening, just making sure they're not loose).

Edited to add: That said, you might have to do some more reading / video watching to get good results out of it for all scenarios. But the auto-leveling is a nice feature, and I'd say the 8-year-old Maker's Muse video on mistakes one will make 3D printing still holds up well today. https://youtu.be/aWg1nG2AbA8?si=GcGZht8IdoJYzCHh

yea thats what i came up with too... undoubtedly "Chinesium'" so you pretty much HAVE to check every nut, bolt and screw. having some loctite can be a good idea esp in high vibration applications...

also from my limited research 1.75mm diameter PLA is a good filament choice for noobs such as myself... and as luck would have it here's a FP deal on some... https://dealquestnow.online/f/18571561-4-pack-1kg-1-75mm-sunlu-silk-pla-plus-3d-printer-filament-bundles-42-99-w-free-shipping-amazon

Pass on this one. Way better deals than this ancient piece of tech. The kobra 3 with ace for 200 is a wayyyy better choice. This printer is basically an ender 3. It's 10+ yr old tech.

1.75mm is what you will be using on almost all consumer level printers.

While the deal you linked is a good deal (I posted it lol), it is silk pla. Silk isn't hard to print, but is a bit more difficult to print than standard pla. I don't know what your primary applications will be, but silk is not as strong and I primarily use it for esthetic prints. I would recommend standard pla for someone's first filament.

It's a fun rabbit hole Smilie. And don't worry about asking questions... I was a noob myself not all that long ago. There are a ton of helpful people & forums who enjoy helping others.

So, these printers like this are likely decent, if you aren't completely opposed to tinkering (it's kind of the trade off ... cheap printers usually need more tinkering and sometimes are practically useless without additional mods, the more expensive ones generally are more hands off, significantly faster and better overall quality ... there are exceptions to that, but ... in general) ... usually the more expensive ones now are also CoreXY [the bed moves up/down and the nozzle does the rest of the moving] and usually enclosed which make printing some materials easier (my QiDi also has a chamber heater to make that even better).

As a printer to see if you're at all interested in 3D printing, this is probably a decent choice ... it's got the first layer sensor, which should solve a large majority of the problems that plague people starting out, as long as it works decently ... it'll likely still require some finessing to get it set up, but once you do it'll likely be solid ... anything else I'd recommend as entry level but also something you wouldn't let collect dust if you get another printer, such as the Centauri Carbon are in the $300+ range, so, I'm not going to suggest something 'better' that's also 3x the cost since ... of course it's going to be better, it's 3x the cost!

If you just want an appliance that you send a job to and pick it up in a couple hours, this would not be a good choice (realistically, you should always watch at least the first layer go down and then glance at any 3D printer every now and then to make sure it's still doing good [but, you'll likely forget and it won't matter much because it'll be fine 99% of the time], but, with these cheaper ones, you'll want to be a bit more frequent with your checkins).
Some of the areas these cheap out is they don't have a camera/lighting and things like that so you can't remotely monitor them, so, if you want to do all that, you'll have to set up your own system to do so, which adds to the cost, but, maybe you've already got an extra camera and controllable power switch that you can use.

Definitely not an expect myself, so, YMMV, just my experiences.

I have the v3 SE. Never had to "tinker" with it as many have said one would and has been working fine for years.

Upgrading to this for faster print speed.

eh it's larger build volume and has the direct drive extruder. for 100 bucks it's a pretty solid machine, I have a few cr10v3s in my farm that have far outlasted my enders which I ended up just giving away. they are a bit slower and you have to manually level the bed once but once they are tuned they are workhorses for my larger products.
