Have an old Dell Optiplex with a E3-1200 Xenon running esxi with 32GB RAM and an Nvidia k620.

• Ubuntu server VM running Plex
• Ubuntu server VM running sonarr/radarr, Jackett and Qbit
• Synology DS412+ with 4x 4TB drives using SHR

Just got a smoking deal on a DS1819+ that I’ll be loading with 12TB drives.

I recently upgraded my Ender 3 to the Sprite. My two main reasons were:

1: it’s all metal (the pro is at least) . I wanted the option of printing in ABS (if I some day have the time to do that)

2: it makes it so much easier for me to change out the filament.

I’m by no means a pro 3D printer, I mainly use mine to support other hobbies. I also like that I can print much faster with the Sprite (or so I think). I’ve also been printing almost exclusively in PETG since I got the Sprite.

Overall, I think it was a good investment. Could I have survived with the stock extruder? Absolutely, but I’m happy with the purchase overall.

Hope this helps!
