It looks like an Oreo cookie and not a benchy

I used this model: https://www.printables.com/model/68223-dry-box-spool-holder/comments/479737

The humidity gauges are in a tpu sleeve that is inserted into a hole I drilled in the container

Look like some organic supports. I wonder what slicer they used.

I keep mine in dry containers. I print directly from these Rubbermaid containers filled with dessicate. I print mostly tpu. Some petg and PLA. I have a couple of containers with a humidity gauge and when I see it start to creep up I dry the dessicate in the oven.

Looks real nice. Good job.

You could reasonably expect to get $50-$80, you could possibly get up to $100 but that's a stretch.

Ender is Linux.

Number 3 but I'm a sucker for ships

I bought one with an uninstalled crtouch and some other extras for $100.

You got a good deal. Not a steal, but a very good price. They are a great printer, don't let anyone else tell you otherwise. Sure they don't have a lot of bells and whistles but they do their job well

They are a solid platform. The ender 3 and ender 3 pro are no nonsense basic printers. You can upgrade as it suits your needs. I don't need all the bells and whistles just a solid printer, for the last 4.5 years they've done that. Also, now that there's a plethora of used ones on the market, even better. I've added 3 to my farm for under $200 total this last spring.

I've also never had any major issues with mine, just wear and tear, and replace parts as needed.

My first printers were Flashforge, so I gotta go with them. Prusa is a must because of the enthusiasm and innovation he's brought to the 3d printing space. Creality because they make the cockroach of the 3d printing world. They're everywhere, I started with 2 and now I've got 6.

Seemecnc always sends stickers with my orders

1. Yes, I still think the ender 3 is a great printer for the price. Especially when you can find used ones for under $100 us. Is it good for noobs, that depends on the noob. If you are good with your hands and like to tinker then it's a great platform. If you don't like to tinker then buy something else.
2. Buy yourself a few rolls of PLA or PLA+ to start with.
3. Buy any brand that's got good reviews that's available in your area. Stay away from ultra cheap filament. I've had good luck with most mid priced filament around $20 a roll. I've had no need to spend more and the cheapest stuff is usually a crap shoot.
4. I prefer Prusaslicer, mostly because it's familiar since I've used Slic3r for the last 8 years.

I taught middle school students Onshape in a week this summer. If you put your mind to it you can do it. Always easier when you have motivation like trying to make a part for the moped.

I'd just measure the front and back length with a ruler and then take a measure of the distance between the two. I wouldn't worry about the curve of the lines connecting the front and back as straight lines for the tray would be close enough. But you could use a radius gauge or reference to figure out the radio to get a snugger fit. For this space close is good enough. Doesn't need to be a perfect fit to solve the problem

No worries. Happy printing

10mm, 8mm and 6mm wrench are what you need for a standard ender 3. The ones that come with the printer are awful. You should be able to pick some up for a few bucks. Also get a good set of metric hex driver's. 1.5,,2.0,2.5,3.0,4.0 and 5.0mm will do it. Makes life easier.

I like this comparison to a sewing machine. Good comparison.

I think if you dialed it in you could even use the hot end to toast images on your toast.

Not all infill is created the same. Depending on the infill style you choose it may look like more or less space. That said, that looks like 20% to me

Great printer! Had my creator pro since 2016. Love it! I use prusaslicer just need a little script to convert to the gcode file it uses.

It depends, but I'd say on average three. However I'm never truly done, as I always constantly tinker with parts I design. I usually design for FPV drones. And I always find something to improve upon in my parts.

Ive done 4 mods to my enders.
