Ender 3 is most cost effective out of the box. But all printers at that price range benefit from some tweaking..

I went with the Max as it was a good balance between size of print and cost. Happy with it so far but still getting used to it so no expert

@Screwdriver I'm a bit lost. You said the one to get is the Ender 3 V2 but further on that you went with the Ender 3 Pro. Which one did you get please? Cheers.

That doesn't help much, I think I'm after comparing the Ender 3 V2 and the Ender 3 Pro...rather than the standard and V2 model.

The original Ender 3 is the basic original machine, if you want to keep cost to a minimum and like tinkering to make it work properly then that one is the option but you would probably still end up spending the saved cash on the upgrades. Its probably a good choice for people who want a cheap base to customise it to their own spec.

I believe the latest ender 5 is shipping with the new quiet 32 bit board. The ender 3 will be soon. This is worth waiting for, apart from being quiet due to stepper motor drivers, it means you can add stuff like bed levellers without messing about trying to optimise memory and farting about with boot loaders like you have to on the 8 bit board. I fitted an after market 32 bit board from big tree tech, not expensive but this avoids the need to do that. So if you are not in a rush, wait a couple of months and get the latest ender 3.

Told him to go for the V2.
I cant comment between the two to be honest but creality seem to see what mods are made by users and add them pre sale as a newer model.
I sort of agree BUT if he is learning anything will be useful to get the basics right. Buying cheap and keeping it as a spare or selling it on loosing a few quid might be an option . Only the OP's mate can really decide.

The V2 did not exist when I bought my Ender 3 (pro).
