Ender 3 Z offset.

So blooming annoying to find that the pre ejaculation as you put has go caught and ******** up the start

Got to get in there quick just before it starts and that's why I actually don't mind the noise. It takes so long for the bed to warm up I wander off, the noise gives me a chance to rush back in (to the spare room) and grab that pesky string before it tangles up the first layer.

Well it seems to be all OK. Dog test completed successfully and so did a Henry crevice tool that I left running overnight. In some ways, the quality is more consistent than my own machine, so I may have to do some investigation work!

I have a suspicion the Ender hits the sweet spot where everything is just "good enough". It doesn't have particularly attractive cosmetics, the hot end is not vastly superior to the power requirements, the frame is not over engineered etc.

This is why, with the exception of a few minor points, i think "upgrading" the Ender3 is a hiding to nothing. Upgrade anything and you'll expose a weakness elsewhere until you end up upgrading everything!

That is not to say that you may find benefits in making sure everything is set up and working to the design: blueprinting as we used to call it...
