Cheap shit from China is horrendously bad and good quality Chinese goods are just as expensive as domestic products.
And here we are. Full circle.
The original Ender3 is a good example of a cheap 3D printer that went through almost zero QA. By some miracle, most printers worked and still do. However, it doesn’t take much to dig and find all the ones that were shipped with fake XTC connectors and were a fire hazard. There are plenty more examples I could dig up from personal experience. (We won’t even get into all the tools I have fixed where the chassis is referenced to mains or high voltage components had no, or insufficient, grounding.)
