I've had 4 Creality machines
I've had 4 Creality machines, ALL of which have had issues and that mean serious downtime. How they are able to operate in Australia is beyond me. I got lucky and got my money back on a dodgy CR10 Smart. I have watched as my first Ender 3 MAX died (that's scrap) an Ender 3 MAX NEO that's still on the workbench after having virtually all electronics parts replaced. It has barely done 400 hours. Next I have a cantankerous CR6se that only prints when it feels like it. I've had to cop it on the chin, moving over to Anycubic was a breath of fresh air. I've got a Phonton Mono X resin, Vyper anf Kobra Plus. 3D modelling is my main retirement hobby - I'm a disability pensioner and I don't want to be constantly tinkering with the machines. They are, after all, only one step in the modelling process.
