So I recently had to replace my Ender 3's drive feeder. I went with the Creality metal drive. Got the printer going (thanks to you guys) but now my Extruder is acting up. I need to replace that too.

Going with the better direct drive and auto leveling options I will have to spend $100+ to get it going again (given that the old Ender 3 can be upgraded to auto leveling - which I think it can).

So my question is do I spend the time and money or just find something newer and better?
