Ender 3 v2 on order. Waiting for it to ship. 2 reels of PLA and some other bits already arrived.

What software are you guys using?
I use a Mac so I slice with Cura. I have octoprint setup on a raspberry pi so I can print remotely (Cura has plugins for it)

Otherwise you can just slice with cura and drop the file on a micro SD card and pop it in the printer. The ender 3 v2 comes with an 8GB micro SD if you don't have one.

The ender 3 v2 seems like a great option for beginners like myself. Takes a bit of trial and error to get settings correct. But I've had more successes than failures.

Feel free to shoot me a message (or ask here) if you need any tips.

Also, if you're in the US, make sure your power supply is flipped to the 115v setting. Mine came defaulted to 230v.
