Hey, I'm a complete newbie when it comes to 3D printing. I have a chance to pick up this printer second hand, and I was wondering what the community thinks of the product. Would this printer be decent for a beginner? Thanks!

I love my Ender3 V2. It's a great workhorse. If you are in the United States you may be able to snag one from Microcenter for $100. It is a good entry point that you can upgrade as you go along. I have added a bl-touch (definitely get one) direct drive, and a dual z axis. But it was making great prints before the upgrades. Also since they are the most common printer parts are easy to find.

Good to hear it. I didn't know they were the most common!
