Currently using a FLSUN Super racer. It’s a delta style printer and fast as hell compared to the printers I had before. 400 hours on it currently.

Had a Ender 3 before it. Lots of issues. Ended up giving it away to a friend who still uses it and still has random issues.

First printer was a Printrbot Simple Metal. Bought one the moment a heated bed was a option. Great printer for the time, but dated now. Keep thinking about resurrecting it to print flexibles on of these days.

      what is the actual purpose of the bearing inside the coupler. I just put it in cause everyone says to but I’m not entirely sure what the hell it does.

      My Ender 3 v1 build is very close to this too +/- a few things, specifically linear rails, which absolutely corrected a lot of the little issues I was having. Speed isn’t important to me, so I’ll probably keep using it for years to come.

    I’m printing with a heavily modified Ender 3, a heavily modified CR-10 V3, and a Anycubic Mono 4k.

    I usually refer to the Ender 3 and CR-10 V3 as, “The printers formally known as Ender 3 and CR-10 V3,” due to the amount of modifications to them both.

    All of them do a fine job for stuff in their wheelhouse and I dig them all.

    A heavily customized Ender 5 Pro. I’m running Klipper with an Octoprint server on a Raspberry Pi. I have the BL touch, Micro Swiss direct drive kit, a custom printed heat shrowd and a 20mm fan, silicone spacers, and a spring steel bed. It prints amazingly well and I don’t see myself replacing it any time soon.

    its an ender 3 in the same way that a dune buggy is a vw beetle. the only stock bits that remain are the frame and some of the steppers. it’s gone direct drive, all metal, glass bed, klipper firmware on a btt mini e3v2 all running off of a mac mini with octoprint.

    Primary: Artillery Sidewinder X1, absolutely stock except for parts that needed replacement but even those are just part swap, no upgrades or mods.

    Secondary: MP Select mini Frame and some motors. The board is the motherboard form a Tronxy X5S. the bed is a manual replacement from an off brand and it has an off the shelf 12 V 300W PSU.

    AnyCubic Chiron. Still going after many years, though sometimes I do need to spritz the plate with cheap hairspray to help adhesion

    I use a Prusa MK3 (not MK3S/+) that I got in 2018. Later this year I hope to get an MK4 to join it, and maybe a Voron 2.4 for big prints. My first printer was a SeeMeCNC Rostock MAX from 2013. Its controller board died for the second time just before I got the MK3, and I never fixed it.

    Very happy with MK3S+, ordered upgrade kit last month for MK4. Trying to get a Prusa XL for my office but availability is shit.

    Anycubic i3 Mega-S, bought in 2019 as my first printer and modified quite a lot since then (replaced all fans except part cooling, stepper drivers, Z couplers, silicone bed spacers), and it works fine, but I still don’t fully trust it to be left unattended for more than 2-3 hours. And since it’s lacking most of the newer “convenience” features like ABL (and is rather slow) I’m really considering to replace it with a newer/better printer. Hottest contenders are currently either a Prusa XL or a Voron 2.4.

      I switched to .6 a while ago on my mk3s and am really happy with the speed and quality.

    I’ve got an Anycubic Kobra Max at home for big prints that is relatively reliable and a corexy poject printer cobbled together from about 10 different sources.

    My first printer was a makerfarm i3v in 2014.

    Kingroon KP3S here. Totally stock. No issues with it, always had good quality from it out of the box. I want to add a touch sensor and klipper to it but haven’t had the time to figure it out
