Whats something that is only worth getting the expensive version of?

I grew up with $20 walmart blenders, and hated anything that required a blender.

Recently bought a ninja and there is no going back. I'll never use a crappy blender again.

Anything else like that?

It's comforting to know I'm not alone. My Ender3 was a money sink that just kept getting worse. I have no idea why they're praised so commonly.

what were some of the issues you had with it?,

Bed adhesion, nozzle clogging, inconsistent extrusion. It was always some issue and it was difficult to figure out the root cause. I kept buying better parts to try and fix things but at some point I decided to cut my losses. Truthfully I don't know if it was my fault or the printer's.

ive been using an old cr10s for the past 5 years. I've done a bunch of upgrades and stuff over the years. I have had problems with adhesion and inconsistent extrusion but those were my fault. never really had many nozzle clogs tho, that's probably more of a filament thing

I've had Ender 3 pro for 2 ish years now, and I love the machine. Surely it does require some tinkering, but when it's dialed it's damn good for 200e printer
