Looking to get a new printer

I am very new to the 3d printing world, and havent heard a lot about flashforge but have been looking up good beginner friendly printers and they have been coming up a lot, I got an ender 3 on fb marketplace for 40$ and have been tinkering with it but I want to get something a little less finicky so I can work on my modeling skill and not have to do so many reprints figuring out the right settings and calibration. what do you guys recommend

Upgrade?

I got an ender 3 original a while ago and I am learning how to 3d print and everything, I found an ender 5 with a box of about 6 spools of filament for 150$ and wondering if it is worth to upgrade since I am still so new, what do I gain with the ender 5?

I got an ender 3 from facebook marketplace

I am new to 3d printing and want to try printing with a larger nozzle to do a cool lampshade project but the process of taking off the extruder is not looking fun so what is the best mod to do so that when I want to switch I can just easily swap it out rather than taking the whole hot end off

Not sure why this happened, looks like the base of the support moved??

As you can see in the model the gap at the front is really big and on the print bed they are practically touching I dont know what could have caused or if gcode errors like that happen because it just looks like rotated for some reason

I have and ender3 and using ultimaker pro, I am new so basically all default settings except I made the layer height 0.16 in hopes to make the print more detailed, support angle overhang is 51, 20% infill, bottom layer thickness of 0.68!? Just now reading that but that is default and I printed a calibration cube before and it was fine, did it get too tall?

Need help identifying a part

I am replacing the thermal fuse on the heat gun and dont know what these rivet things are called with the prongs. Any ideas so I can try replacing them?
