If you are looking for a simple print and go printer without the hassle of assemble and other nuances, then for a few hundred bucks more the Adventurer 3 would be your best option.
























I agree. You can’t hardly beat the finder for starting out. I’ve also had mine for over 3 years (5000+ hours) with no problems. The qualiity of my prints are usually as good or better that the Ender 3 of my friends. I also now have a CR10s pro v2 but the finder has a long list of features that the Ender3 doesn’t have.

You can send gcode wirelessly to the machine. Direct drive Filament run out detection Bed leveling assist with touch probe Powered filament loading Built in light Sounds an alarm to signal when print is complete It has a actual housing that encloses all of the belts and wires. Hours and filament meters that keep track of total usage Auto off after printing is complete

If you wish to experiment and do improvements this is a better path.
Expect to spend more in the end if you wish to properly  enclose it in order to
handle more temperamental filaments.
