Is it possible to upgrade an Ender 5 to the quality and performance of a Prusa i3 MK3? Find out in this video.

In this video, I walk through and compare the components in the Creality Ender 5 and compare them to the components in the Prusa i3 MK3. I evaluate both the feasibility and cost of upgrade and Ender 5 or for that matter and Ender 3 to a Prusa i3 Mk3.

I recognize that this video may be a bit controversial and look forward to your comments so we can continue to learn together.
