I’ve made a lot of videos on modifying 3D printers, so the question begs: are modified printers better? Currently I have a standard Ender 3 and a heavily upgraded Ender 3, which makes for a great comparison. In this video I compare the two in terms of print quality, reliability, refinement, versatility and ease of use.

The answer to this question in my opinion is not black or white. Please leave your thoughts in the comments below.

This standard Ender 3 was purchased as the recipient of some very cool conversion kits you'll be seeing in the future.
