Not a lightning deal, but a good one none the less.
During the last Amazon sale I saw a 3D printer for less than Rs.9000 - a Yuva printer from WOL3D, but by the time I decided to buy it, it's price had shot up to Rs.25,000.

The WOL3D New Creality Ender 3 V2 Neo 3D Printer is at Rs.9558 now. Picked it up for Rs.8602 using the SBI card discount.


There was a Rs.600 cash back offer from Amazon for Home and Kitchen shopping. I think you can collect that coupon from the rewards page. So, the effective price for me was Rs.8002.

Can any 3D printing experts here weigh is this a good one for this cost as this is a old printer released in 2022? Looking for an entry level 3D printer.
 
@jmaniac it's decent for getting started into the 3D printing hobby, I have a couple of friends whom I've helped setting up printers. For getting a good quality with these printers you'll need to spend a decent amount on mods + PLA also, so I'd suggest saving up more and buying a printer like the Bambu Lab A1 Mini which is much better overall + beginner friendly.

If you can't spend that much, I'd suggest to do some research on subreddits and the mods you should add to the Ender for a better printing quality + also check if it supports Klipper, it's much better than using the default interface (note that you'll also need a raspberry pi for this).

My printer came this afternoon - after being out for delivery for the last 3 days. I'd almost given up hope of getting it, and then the doorbell rang, and there was the Amazon guy with a big box for me.
I finished setting up the printer, and it's now printing the boat that came on the SD card with the printer.
So far things are looking good. The boat came out pretty clean, but it took about 1 hour and 40 mins to complete.
