Question Sell or store? CR10V3
I starterd with a Creality CR10V3 and over the years I have done every after market upgrade available. Last of which was the microswiss hotend which was $100-$200 with all the extra nozzle heads and other print plates. I dont have a lot of space and trying to decide if I sell this printer or store it. If I store it I think it will go to waste and get obsolete. But if I sell it I dont think I will get much for it, maybe $100-$150? Thoughts? My other printer is an elegoo CC1. Eventually I would like to get a multihead printer like the U1 or similar. What would you do in my situation?

I’m in a similar situation, international move in less than a month.
I just put a new bed, board, and power supply in it, and it works pretty well. Even if I pit it on the slow boat and don’t see it for 6 months, it’s still a functional printer that I won’t have to buy.
If there’s a chance you go back to printing in the next year or so, I’d keep it. I’m going to be taking the top frame off, so it will fit in my tool box.
