I bought a SainSmart Ender3 Pro on a Woot special and it is a very good kit. Build it using Chuck's video and you'll have it assembled in no time. Like all Creality hotends, be sure to heat the hot end, re-tighten the nozzle while it is heated, and be sure the PTFE tube goes all the way to the nozzle. Recommended upgrades: Capricorn PTFE, SeeME CNC EZRStruder and Glass bed. I bought it to print PPE face mask earsavers and face shield headbands at the beginning of the pandemic and it ran continuously for weeks with no issues. I prefer the PRO over the plain ender 3 for the Meanwell power supply and the 20x20 extrusion for the y axis (better stability). I just cleaned and serviced it, checked the e-steps then printed a CHEP cube and it is still accurate to .05mm a side. This is an easy to print with, upgradeable, and reliable printer. My next upgrade if not there would be silent stepper drivers but this printer stock is pretty quiet. For sub-$200, I can't think of a better printer for your money.
