I guess it depends on a “ship of Theseus” type of a thing. Sure, I’m technically using a 2018 first gen Ender 3, but it also has linear rails, a Phaetus Dragonfly with a Bondtech CHT nozzle and BMG extruder, a BLtouch and it’s running Klipper with input shaping, and as a result it can spit out an almost flawless not-a-speedbenchy (because I have a 0.6mm nozzle running 0.3mm layers so it doesn’t qualify) in 22 minutes. Only thing missing is that I still haven’t upgraded the main board or stepper drivers as I’m not bothered by the noise.
So it’s both 5 years old, and also better and more moderd than quite a few of the models provided by Creality today.
