I struggled with the cheaply built printer that requires a lot of upkeep the first time like many (Tevo Tarantula in my case), and in the end I realized that between the upgrades to just make it work safely, and the time wasted just fiddling around with getting it to print made the Prusa well worth the money. Buy the Ender if you want working on 3D Printers to be your hobby, if you want 3D printing to be your hobby, then buy something actually reliable. I would take a small build volume and high reliability over something larger every single time.

> if you want working on 3D Printers to be your hobby, if you want 3D printing to be your hobby Those two go hand in hand for all hobbyists I know, including the Prusa owners. I don't struggle with Ender, actually I was surprised how good it is, since my reference point was much older (and much more expensive) printers. Maybe I have lucked out on the build quality, I don't know.
