Hey, I'm a complete newbie when it comes to 3D printing. I have a chance to pick up this printer second hand, and I was wondering what the community thinks of the product. Would this printer be decent for a beginner? Thanks!

Ender-3 V2 is a solid entry level printer. I enjoy mine and once I put the "silent" board on it I could print nearly non-stop without any complaints from my wife or kids.

So the upgrades I would suggest are: BL-Touch/CR-Touch "Silent" control board

Nice to have: Dual gear extruder Higher quality PTFE tubing
