Opinions on the opportunity of buying an SE on the cheap ( already own a KE ): opinions of SE owners please -- is it worth it ?
Hello to you.
I already own an Ender3V3KE, and I'm waiting for an unicorn kit to arrive, so, I'll have a spare KE hotend.
I was already considering buying a second printer, and the SE has always been on my radar, and now, there's an opportunity to buy it almost half the price of the KE ( yup, in Brazil, the KE is about BRL 2.220,00 and I just found an SE for BRL 1.284,00 ) ( about USD 420 the KE and USD 245 for the SE - normally the SE is @ USD 344 ).
I was thinking of build a voron in the not-so-near future, but I think the SE would be good for now to reuse the KE hotend with a steel nozzle for all sorts of filaments and use the new unicorn nozzles on the KE to allow for rapid size change and be worry-free about blob of death on the KE...
I don't really care about the nebula pad, it is very limited in memory anyway ( Using OpenKE on my current setup ). Maybe add a RPI or some other tricky way later as klipper host.
This price is really tempting...
BONUS: I could share many parts; do the linear rail conversion if it improves my KE precision ( the kit just arrived ); and I could share the build plates 😄
Should I go for it? what do you think?
