I have found a creality ender 3 pro on facebook marketplace for $75, would this be a good 3d printer at a good price for my first time?

I probably wouldn’t be printing too often, but I have a number of ideas for things that I’d like to try making.

FWIW, OrcaSlicer isn’t blocked (except on the H2D, and that may change eventually) on newer firmware, it just has to go through Bambu’s network protocol, same as their own slicer. But OrcaSlicer installs that for you.

(I’m not defending Bambu Lab’s practices here, just want us to be accurate.)
