Hello all, I am considering on getting a 3D printer. I want to print some stuff for a project. I am relatively new to this. I need the slicer software to be compatible (preferably open source) with linux since that’s what I am using. I have only found the stuff from Prusa to be compatible but they are expensive. I have heard of ender 3 but it is the only os printer by creality and saw the repo is 3yo without updates.

Can I get some suggestions?

    that’s because too many chinese companies work like this: “ooooh there’s a new toy!!” and launch a slightly different model after a few weeks, discontinuing the older ones

    because their firmware is just kanged marlin, it’s possible to build&install the latest and greatest: https://marlinfw.org/docs/basics/install.html
