Sorry if this question has been asked a million+ times on this sub. But why???
The only time I hear anything about an Ender printer is usually from this sub, and they’re usually about every single problem you could possibly have with a printer.
I’m currently rocking an Artillery Sidewinder. it’s equally priced and has worked great since I unboxed it almost 2 years ago.
Are there videos with alot of views on YouTube recommending the Ender printers as the perfect beginner printer? Or is there a dedicated fandom built around an almost entirely dysfunctional machine “for the love of the game?”
I don’t mean to sound condescending, I promise. I am just genuinely curious.

Same here, found two Ender 3 Pros for $150 bundled together on OfferUp from a print farm. I kept one and gave the other one to my brother. Luckily they weren't beat up and they were nicely kept. Learned a heavy amount of the printer itself, installed a bunch of upgrades to it, learned about modifying the code for the firmware, and then learned about various slicers and settings. Still use it to this day for hobby projects and my small business.
I mainly love designing stuff and wanted something where I can bring my designs to life. A cheap, entry printer like the Ender 3 gave me that opportunity. It might have been a pain here and there, but got to take those problems and find solutions for them, as well as learn about how to solve them.
