Wait, what? $360 gets you a functional 3D printer worth owning? One that can produce, say, 6”x6”x6” parts of decent quality?
It’s been a couple of years since I’ve looked. Last I looked, they were well into four figures even with a great deal of self assembly.
I don’t want to hijack the thread, but I just want to confirm: you can get a fully functional 3D printer worth owning for $400? And a CR-10 is a good place to start my research?

Yeah, 3D printing went from "well-into-four-figures" to "couple-hundred-bucks" territory in no time. I've been following FDM technology since ~2005 and there was a major dropoff just a few years ago.
And, to answer your question without entirely derailing the thread, yeah....the Creality CR10 you linked is a fantastically capable 3D Printer for ~$400 with a print volume of ~12"x12"x15.5" print volume.
My in-laws got me a 3D Printer a couple years ago for Christmas (smaller but easier to run). If I were buying my own, it'd be the CR10 you linked and I'd build an enclosure for it.
