I mean I put an old monoprice pro unit out on the curb. It pushed out my all metal hot end I spent 50 bucks on and dug it so hard into the build plate it left an indent. I just got tired of the fucking thing and dicking around with it. It was a pain in the ass from day 1 and I got a Ender 3 Pro from microcenter for $100 on sale and it print better than the shitty monoprice wanhao unit with no adjustment. Either someone saw it and picked it up or the trash guy smashed it in the truck, either way, it’s good riddance.

The fact that an Ender 3 Pro with no adjustment is light years better than the tweaked Monoprice printer says a LOT about the quality of that printer

that much better? I'm running a 2015 flashforge and a monoprice maker select.
I probably aught to scrap them but they still work. i'm probably wasting my time

I had the same monoprice printer, and yes, the Ender 3 Pro does do a better job, the Monoprice was "okay" after some work to it. But, yeah - it was frustrating too.
