I got excited and got back on the CR10s Pro, more updates, failed boards 3 in all, failed thermos, failed SD card readers, just constant glitches. I almost threw it away. I finally have it working about 85% reliable now. I will never buy another Creality product. In the meantime I purchased another Prusa. I use both Prusaslicer and Simplify 3D V5. I use Tinkercadd and am slowly learning Fusion 360 free version. I print hobby parts and some parts for my business if they are no longer produced. Still Learning. I'm saving up for my next printer. Looking at a Bambu or Stacker S4. It is an addiction.
This is great info, thank you. I will have to take a look at the Prusa's. Until I take the plunge and purchase a printer it will most likely be awhile, probably a couple months. I am in the process of putting the house up for sale and don't want to assemble and then have to box it up and move it. I will also research simplify.
Thanks
