A while ago I had an Ender 3 Pro which I upgraded with a BL-Touch and self-printed parts. It worked great and was reliable but not something I would call plug and play.

Is there a clone that's relatively plug and play? I don't mind assembling but don't want constant readjustments.

The question is whether you want to get into 3D printing or get a printer that has a chance of your hobby becoming fixing 3D Printers.

I went the cheaper route too first, at the end of the day it never worked as well as my Prusa and I probably put a similar amount of money into it before giving up.
