You have the ender 3 pro saved? Evidently the v2 has some upgrades to the pro. Micro center has them at the same price too, without the new costumer discount.

Yeah, there's just no Microcenter anywhere near me.

Black Friday or amazon prime day may be running a sale?

There's nowhere local that I can buy one so it's going to be Amazon. Microcenter won't ship them. It's sad because there was a Microcenter not far from here when I was growing up but they closed and Circuit City or something took over that location but they've since closed as well.

If you have to order it, just make sure you don't pay $60 for shipping...

You're just trying to get me in trouble.

Lol... Obviously you don't need any help from me with that... I'm actually trying to keep you OUT of trouble lol

Lots of truth in this statement here!

Just wondering if it was an ender based sale for the v2 or a micro center. Maybe you could get other families in the homeschool co-op to help with the cost. Or sell prints at the farmers market.

Not too soon?

Unfortunately for guys like him (and me for that matter) it's rarely "too soon".

My wife doesn't have an account on here (that I'm aware of) so...

It's a Micro Center sale. I wouldn't ask the other families to help with the cost because I'd have to share then. I am considering teaching a higher level (older kids only) class next semester on TinkerCAD. They'd all need to bring a laptop or tablet but they're only hour long classes so I'd have to print their projects at home for them. That would allow some money for filament but the printer would still be on me to purchase (or I'd have to donate it to the co-op at the end).

For example, my wife is teaching a leather tooling class so she bought tools for herself. Part of the class cost covers a smaller, less expensive set of tools for the students to keep at the end, but hers are out of our pocket.

Never can tell. good luck with the printer. you could also try to talk her into a filament extruder so you can recycle scrap and misprints. "but it closes the plastic loop"

sharing is caring, or something like that. you could round up on the print cost to help pay it off.

We have to submit receipts.

So they'd cover the whole roll of filament?

Yep.

So I was just talking to my wife about something I found for the Cricut that can be 3D printed and she said, "I know, I found that and these pen holder adapters." I don't want to get my hopes up but now SHE'S doing some research on her own.

I made the deal that if I don't use it 12 times in a year, or is sits idle for 6 months we can sell it after a year. I think that helped sell the idea.

I'd use it 12 times in the first month and then once a month after that? Bases covered.

Oh for sure. It made 2 things last night, a frag rack and frag stand. Neither of which fit the plugs I have. today its printing a tool holder for the tools that came with the machine.
