I have cut my teeth on the Ender 3 Pro v2 printer by Creality. Neat little printer; it works wonders when/if it’s perfectly dialed in. The thing is, I don’t have the interest to dial it in like it needs to be. I just want to turn it on, send it a print, and walk away. I do t want to spend all morning (like this morning) trying to “auto-level” 🙄 the bed, just to not have it be level.

When I try to manually level the bed it’s worse: I can measure one corner 5 times in a row, and get 5 wildly different heights each time. And I’m even using the Creality BL Touch sensor!

I have upgraded the springs, and I’m using the wide knob’s, and spent days trying to tune in my printer. I’m also using the Jyers Marlin firmware (15x15).

It’s exhausting and not fun. Help me Make Printing Fun Again. 😩

    If you do not care about vendor lock-in and some shady shit regarding cloud printing and 3rd-party applications and filament: Have a look at any of the recent Bambu Lab printers. They’re pretty automatic and their build quality is quite good.
