edit 2: Okay, I’ve made a few changes.

First, the printer’s MSRPs are listed, making it easier to compare the printers. Voron has been added to the top of the subjective ranking, I left it out completely beforehand.

Qidi has been added, they are very good actually! The SV06 ACE has been added as well as the “Plus” variant, and the SV08 is corrected as a voron CoreXY kit rather than a prusa clone. I’ve also added the Prusa Mini+, but with a note saying that Sovol, Qidi, etc. have better value printers. I’ve also got BoxTurtle as an alternative to ERCF.

If you have any other suggestions, please lmk!

edit: really sorry for cross-posting the same thing 17 times, I won’t do it again. I just wanted to share a cool project I made, but I should not have done what I did. Sorry for spamming your feeds. whoops!

I would like some feedback on bestof. Mostly relating to the 3D printing section as this is a 3D printing community, but also the site in general.

What things are missing or should be changed? How can I improve bestof?

After some comments in other communities, I’ve decided to start working on a better colour palette for higher contrast as well as adding more details to WHY I recommend the “best” things. A lot of categories don’t neccesarily have a “best” (such as software) and I definitely need to improve on that front. I might even add a “reviews” section for more in-depth information about each thing.

I would really appreciate any feedback you have, and I’m really sorry about the spam! Promise I won’t do it again!

original post:

This has taken quite a long time for me to make and now I can finally show everyone! Please lmk if you have any questions or think my picks should be changed to something else!

    What’s so terrible about the user experience of the Ender 3?

    Also, you should be more specific about it: there are several different printers with “Ender 3” in the name, and the one that’s typically recommended for people who want a cheap printer is the “Ender 3 V3 SE” specifically, not the original.

      i’ve fixed it! now it’s specifically the V3 SE. also, I’ve also included the “KE” which seems to be a slightly better version with klipper-based firmware

          I’m just mentioning what others online said, but yeah you’re right i should probably mention that i have never used the ender v3 before. that would be a good idea
