Have you ever owned a 3d printer that you didn't modify? (lemmy.world)

Preface: I'm on my third cheap printer in the past ten years. I bought an Anycubic kobra neo a few years ago. I told myself I wouldn't mess with doing anything to it, but I was running into issues because of low quality control. I put it away due to frustration for the past year and now needed to print something and just figuring out all the issues. Right now I'm looking into upgrading the part cooling fan as I cannot get rid of stringing even on low temps with PLA. I should just buy a good printer but I just don't feel like I can justify it.

Control software is not really used for any modern 3d printer, the printers provide their own web interface for you to control them.

Slicers just work out of the box for Prusaslicer, Orcaslicer and Cura. There's nothing close to "compile your own kernel" in pretty much any linux thing anymore if you don't want to do specifically this.
