I have 2 ender 3s, and they were awesome. I learned so much about engineering, gcode, and flashing firmware. I spent so much time fine tuning print parameters and installing mods, and I was able to get decent prints. I moved and picked up a bambu P1S, during a black Friday sale a few years ago. My enders are still packed and my P1S has just worked, giving me prints quality and consistency I only could have dreamed of using my enders. Now, I just need a project to recycle my enders parts into.
Long story short, use teaching tech ender 3 calibration guide, dry your filament, and install auto bed leveling probe that will account for warped build plates. https://teachingtechyt.github.io/calibration.html
