The SE would have already been a huge upgrade over my old Ender-3 Pro. Capable little machine. You'll have a lot of fun with it. I find it quite satisfying to hold an object I modeled in my hand, when it only existed in my head before. There's a learning curve but if you stick with it, the reward is worth it. Not quite sure how to express this but an adjustment of thought pattern was helpful for me. Had to remind myself that in case i needed some object, would it make sense to print it? Sometimes just the learning experience of it, is what adds another tool to your mental toolbox.
