I got a Anet A8 last year to try out 3d printing. It was fun until my A8 started wearing out and jamming,under-extruding, The heat bead doesn't stay hot anymore and it a little warped now, screws keep coming loose cause it vibrates so much, and I sick of putting up the with stupid thing. (but it was only $150 so meh)

 

Im looking for a new 3d Printer to upgrade to that it a little nicer. Things I am looking for:

-Price $400-$580

-Comes with auto leveling bed or can be upgraded to auto leveling bed

-200mmx200mm or larger Print Surface (glass is a plus)

-metal frame with Good build quality

-Takes normal Filament (non of that XYZ NFC tagging cartridge shit)

-Has Direct USB input (does not rely only on SD cards or WiFi)

 

I Like this one but if anyone has better suggestions, I'm open to suggestions

 

Creality Cr-10  (or the cr-10s)

Current: R2600X@4.0GHz\\ Corsair Air 280x \\ RTX 2070 \\ 16GB DDR3 2666 \\ 1KW EVGA Supernova\\ Asus B450 TUF

The CR-10S is the updated version of the CR-10, so get that one if you go for it. It doesn't have auto bed leveling, but it's a really nice printer for the money in my opinion.

At that budget the CR-10S is definitely the way to go, with filament detection and the updated dual z axis motors it's well worth it.  If you don't need such a large build volume and can live without auto leveling the Ender 3X would be a good contender for around $250, the new updated version comes with a glass build plate and really can't be it for the price.
