A while ago I had an Ender 3 Pro which I upgraded with a BL-Touch and self-printed parts. It worked great and was reliable but not something I would call plug and play.

Is there a clone that’s relatively plug and play? I don’t mind assembling but don’t want constant readjustments.

    Yes that obviously makes sense but is the price step up really worth it for someone who only prints occasionally? The price difference between the Prusa MK3S+ and Sovol SV-06 is almost 500€

      The question is whether you want to get into 3D printing or get a printer that has a chance of your hobby becoming fixing 3D Printers.

      I went the cheaper route too first, at the end of the day it never worked as well as my Prusa and I probably put a similar amount of money into it before giving up.

      I don’t think the price differential is worth it unless you’re going to use it a lot. I own a Prusa MK3S, and it’s not as though it doesn’t have its issues sometimes.
