3d printing question(boost pls):

Do I invest more money into my ender 3 pro?
I have the 2020 version, with crtouch and klipper installed and I'm thinking about getting silent steppers and a enclosure for it(mainly out of fear of causing a fire).

I'm happy enough with the print quality. They could be better and there is a lot of stuff I could probably tweak, but haven't bothered to(and honestly don't have the energy for it)

The problem is that getting all these upgrades slowly exceeds buying a new second hand ender 3. Do I even bother or has 3d printer technology advanced far enough that it's worth getting a new model.

I mainly print functional stuff(parts for repairs) and don't really have interest in colored filament or similar.

@Mae if you already have an ender 3 thats pretty upgraded like that and it works fine then getting another E3, even a v2 or something, isnt that worthit, you can buy many of the beneficial upgrades that would entail for cheaper for your already existing printer.

if youre going to buy a new printer id buy something a little better than the E3/Pro

@nellePoint is there something better than an upgraded ender 3 pro for 200 eur(sell price of the ender+money that would otherwise be spent on upgrades)
