So I just picked up an Ender 3 and this thing is really nice. It blows my Anet E10 out of the water in terms of quality. The very first thing I tried to print was a 3D benchy and not only did it print, it actually looked pretty damn good! Also, idk how much an A8 is but I got my Ender 3 for UNDER $200… Personally I’d skip the A8 and get this Ender 8 because it’s really nice (for what it is).

This was my very first print with my Ender 3. I didn’t even print a bed calibration. I just used the paper method to get it pretty level and hit print (after adjusting some settings to about what I thought they should be. Things like bed temp and stuff.) This quality is better than my E10 AFTER all the upgrades and tweaks.
Nice!
