No joy in buying the product, it's not good.

All in all, the Ender 3 pro I bought from My Gadget Shop seemed like total junk to me. I bought it for 21000. And in the end, what happens . that when buying this printer, you can’t print normally right out of the box, in any case you need to upgrade to get high-quality printing. Of course, all these disadvantages can be eliminated at your own expense: buy a new extruder, buy glass on the table to correct the curvature, in order for it to save the settings, you can install a bootloader and install another firmware (as it is written in the documentation on the official website, but then the warranty will be lost). I wanted to do it all, but when my hot end cooler broke after 2 weeks, that was the last straw and I returned it to the store.

Pros

+ acceptable price; + clear assembly; + rigid construction, without backlash (subject to the correct tightening of all bolts and nuts); + all consumables and control units can be ordered on aliexpress at a good price.

Cons

- upon purchase, there was immediately a problem with saving the settings in the printer (it was necessary to set the filament feed step and save, but when you clicked "store settings", nothing was saved anyway). - after 2 weeks (there were about 20 prints of various test models for 30 minutes maximum.) Hot end cooler broke. - the filament feed gear has small teeth, so it cannot confidently grip the filament, which can cause slippage and underextrusion. In general, the extruder itself is flimsy. - a large error on the z-axis. The cube along the x and y axes was printed almost perfectly, along the z axis the error was 5 times greater than the declared one. - the printer comes with a magnetic printing mat, which gives good adhesion, but the table on which it is placed is crooked, and the usefulness of the mat is reduced to 0.
