Currently using a FLSUN Super racer. It’s a delta style printer and fast as hell compared to the printers I had before. 400 hours on it currently.

Had a Ender 3 before it. Lots of issues. Ended up giving it away to a friend who still uses it and still has random issues.

First printer was a Printrbot Simple Metal. Bought one the moment a heated bed was a option. Great printer for the time, but dated now. Keep thinking about resurrecting it to print flexibles on of these days.

      what is the actual purpose of the bearing inside the coupler. I just put it in cause everyone says to but I’m not entirely sure what the hell it does.

        Acts as a knuckle rather than having 2 flat surfaces touching. I also stretched the coupler to keep everything tight

      My Ender 3 v1 build is very close to this too +/- a few things, specifically linear rails, which absolutely corrected a lot of the little issues I was having. Speed isn’t important to me, so I’ll probably keep using it for years to come.

        Nice, the only issue I really have is that damn x axis sag because of the width of the print bed (310x320). Because the SKR has the dual Z on a single controller I figured it would be much easier.
