Yup, really hard to beat Prusa MK3s. I tossed my Crealities (sold them for almost nothing) after I got my first
interesting I was just looking into getting an ender 3 or an ender 3 v2 with a glass bed and figured I’d check r2r lol.
why do you prefer the prusa mk3 over creality? I’ve looked for prusas in the past but they seemed a little harder to get where I’m located.
Better in almost every way. Better silent drivers, better dual gear direct extruder instead of the bowden, precision rods/bearings instead of aluminum extrusion and plastic wheels, 49 point automatic bed leveling, automatic print bed level correction, no cheap homing switches (does it via motor current detection), and just MUCH better print quality overall. Then there is simple Octoprint integration, belt tension reporting, extruder crash detection, etc.
Not sure what you mean re: harder to get where you're located. There is only one place to get them, Prusa3D, and they ship internationally.

You look on YouTube, there are videos "The first 20 mods to do on your Ender 3"- and doing all of those still doesn't achieve the print quality and features of a Prusa. You also get a 100% warranty on Prusa printer parts, unlike Creality which will tell you to pound sand . Ender 3 is a "chinesium" ultra budget printer- will it work? Most likely. Is the print quality and user experience even close to a quality printer? Nope.
oh maybe that’s why I was having trouble finding it then lol. Didn’t realize it was only available from them on their website.
Thank you for your explanation though. Very helpful. I hadn’t heard anything bad about the ender 3 and it sounded like it would be a great beginner 3D printer for testing the waters. I’m not even sure how much I’d get into it but I’ve had a few things in mind that I’d like to make.
