Well Black Friday arrived arrived and I decided to upgrade/replace/ double up both printers.

Because I am a bit of a stingy chap I went for the Mars3 pro and basically the Ender3 v3.

I decided to go for something I know and also because I wasn’t going mental with high spec gear the price was really good.

The Mars has a bigger build plate, and a 4K monochrome light/screen. This will give me better resolution, but to be honest the bigger screen is more the selling point. The Ender 3 upgrade has a self levelling bed as well as a pile more improvements then mine and the 3pro.

Both of mine are being a smidge temperamental. The resin keeps giving me partial failures and the filament one needs an overhaul as it keeps doing weird things.

Am I going to go mental printing tons of stuff… nope… the print ban is still holding. I did some stuff for my mate, but that’s it since I printed the cannon for Grimdark future…

      1. I’m about ready to donate my Ender 3, it’s pretty much hit-or-miss and hasn’t run at all in the last 6 months or so. Now I just need to get the resin to run constantly, but I think that is mostly operator error not machine error!
