I had an Ender 3 V2 and it was nothing but headache after another. Lots of tinkering to get it printing something and I was never satisfied with the result. At the end I just gave up 3d-printing for years.
Got myself Elegoo Centauri Carbon a month or so ago (350€ shipped to home) and it has been a dream. I can just throw stls into that machine and they come out great! Save yourself the trouble and get a proper 3d-printer. Look up reviews of the Elegoo CC and decide yourself.
