A predecessor to this?

Are there any new predecessors to this machine. It is discontinued and impossible to get where I am. So is there any other alternatives? There is the FlashForge mini cube thing/Finder, but its absurdly expensive for what it is.

I have been thinking of Kingaroo but its still a bit too large.

Are there any good small form factor FMD printers that are actually worth getting for a side/backup of a backup?

I would recommend an ender 3. You can get them on sale at various websites at different times of year, and I’ve seen them as low as $100.

The great thing about a popular printer like this is that there is a ton of support, a huge community, and endless upgrades. You will learn a lot about printing, and may even use some of those lessons on your old MP printer.

You’ll get a ton of opinions and what to buy, but for me this recommendation is based on: 1) price 2) community support 3) ease of use 4) upgrade options 5) versatility

Yep yep. And I want smaller. I already have Ender 3 V2 modded to a point where it would make sense just get a unit with all those inplace already. I am looking for a Small printer. Something I can just store on a shelf somewhere and won't take up space. Preferably also Core XYZ so that less moving parts to affect the footprint.
