I may order a Ender V3 system today. Got good information about it, looks like a fantastic entry-level machine. Was even considering a more high end K1 machine.

Was told the Creality slicer was “dogwater” and there was a different free slicer called OrcaSlicer that worked better somehow…

@DeltaWye oh yes definitely. It's an offspring of PrusaSlicer that I like even more, but both are fantastic and very quickly developing

@DeltaWye from what I've heard they're not very reliable tho. Alza (Czech local seller) has between 4-10% warranty claimed rate for different variants of Creality. Sth to keep in mind.

@knezi @DeltaWye
Agreed, make sure you can exchange/refund if needed. The flip side is you can buy the returns as "refurb" on eBay for cheap if you don't mind fixing.

@DeltaWye I'm planning to get a Sovol SV06 Plus when I can afford to blow $300 on another printer to replace my confoundingly black boxed Anycubic Kobra 2

@DeltaWye

Rule #13 of 3D Printing: friends don't let friends buy Creality. I'd currently look at Sovol and Bambu machines in that price range.You'll get a lot more value for your money.

@DeltaWye orca slicer is very good and is my daily driver slicer.
