I made this about a year ago and it's one of my favorite creations. Even though I made a mistake in measuring the bottom and had to cut out some slots. One day I'll print it again, but it used a ton of filament and took forever last time.
I have two Ender 3’s and they are good printers. It can take some tweaking to get things to print right but it has been a good printer for the stuff I’ve printed. Once you get your settings right most print jobs print without issue. It’s an easy hobby to get into without going broke and with some patients you can print lots of stuff for the house. I’ve print coat hooks and a hook to go over my shower door to hold a towel so I no longer have to get my towel wet. We’ve also printed party favors for kids birthdays. Also finding stuff to print has never been an issue lots of stuff is free and the files that do cost are always super cheap. Most of the stuff we bought was 1-3 dollars and you can print it as many times as you want so TCO is really low.
