Do you want to know how long something will last before you buy? In this video we'll explore how the prints on my 'well used' Ender 3 V2 printer compare to a new printer sent to us by Banggood.

I read reviews, most people write a review shortly after they receive the product, how many reviews have you read after something has been well used?
I was curious to know how well this printer has lasted after printing more than 700 parts, with almost all of the print time inside of a warm enclosure. So that's what we compare in this video. It is terrible, like my Anet A8 was after only a few months, or is it still performing well?
If you've watched any of my videos, you'll know that I've upgraded to the plastic extruder, it did not break, but it had warped, so I would recommend the metal single gear, or the metal dual gear. There was nothing wrong with the bowden tube aside from moving in and out, I had chopped it up for testing not thinking ahead, I may need to find another one for the next video.
