first desktop printer part 2#
Creality [Ender 3 V2] (//creality3dofficial.com/products/ender-3-v2-3d-printer) was my first printer purchased but it sank in the hook. Within 10 days I had ordered up my Prusa MK3S+ link
The printer can be purchased as a mostly assembled kit for ~$250 and is on sale from time to time. This printer is mostly silent. The hot-end fans make fan noises but the steppers and motors are virtually silent.
