Buying call

Buy the Ender 3 V3 KE if you want an affordable, open-source printer with wireless control: early reviews praised its Klipper firmware, robust design, quality parts, excellent auto bed leveling and direct drive. Skip it if you need an enclosure, because it's open-frame. The app isn't intuitive, Creality's Klipper interface is limited, and the accelerometer isn't included.
