You’re welcome ;)

“the Bowden tube runs all the way from the extruder down to nozzle”, what kind of modification did you do because that’s how most Bowden setup are from what I know. This video explains why the fix works https://youtu.be/7tCxO17XZtw
You can try to use this hotend fix to avoid clogging https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3203831
Also, make sure to replace Bowden coupler by new one
Not OP but have a question if you don’t mind as I just swapped to Klipper and everything isn’t clear yet.
When you say “due to lack of power…” isn’t klipper doing all the work meaning that board don’t need to process anything and is basically in a “reader” state?
My bad, misread as I understood that you spend last decade fixing each part. As I said ender 3 from something around 2018-2019 were very great for the price but maybe quality has decreased since. Might be better choice today
How did you manage to get an ender 3 10 years ago while they were launch around 2018 😂. Wild guess is that you didn’t mount it with care, which often end up with countless issues and blaming printer part is easy. If it was such a bad printer, you would not encounter printers farm using it.
It was definitely not a plug and play printer (they were not any at that time), but you could/can achieve same quality print as a thousand €/$ printer, the worst thing on it was his plastic extruder (10€ and 10 minutes to replace it), and the best thing on it is that you can customise it to your wish unlike any other printer and this was due to the vast amount of people who loved it. I still have an old 3 pro and it is rock solid, I sometimes don’t use it for a whole year but each time I plug it back, i only clean and level the bed and it is good to go. (as I have a cr6-se which is also awesome by the way)
That being said, I can’t tell how the most recent ender 3 versions does as I have only tried ender 3, 3 pro and 3V2.
If I were you, I would try to disable some/all of the image features your TV has in settings. Could be those settings that create soap opera effect.
I’m not 100% sure but I have always read that playing movie at higher frame rate than source doesn’t make video looking better. To get best results, it is adviced to have your screen frame rate matching the one from source. That being said, can’t tell you how to achieve this on linux since I only watch stuff on TV using shield TV as a player.
Professional printing services are usually expensive, might be better to buy a second hand printer if you already plan to get one. Don’t know the market in Japan but I guess they will charge you much more than 50€ and you can get a second hand printer which originally cost 400€ for maybe 150-200€.
Unlike a 1000€ printer, you will have a learning curve but you can get as good looking print as a 1000€ printer. Main difference is plug and play (yet still have to learn slicer settings and how each settings interact with each others) and printing speed.
Also, while you may choose from printing services what material to use, I ain’t sure you can tell them what settings to use. As they are a printing services, you shall only tell them what those stl are used for and they should adapt according to their knowledge because they are much more than filling to take into account like walls, infill type, layer thickness, printing speed, print orientation…
Pla should be fine except maybe for the part that goes around the cylinder (depending force that is applied to it and thickness of part). In this case, petg or abs might be better
Instead of printing services, another possibility is to check the different fab lab in Tokyo, contact them and see what they offer.
I cannot see images (“these”), but if you are talking about some wheels, yes they should not be too tight neither too loose. Once tightened you should be able to turn them with your fingers without raising gantry but you should also feel friction.
Have you tried to press Enter to show bios setup? (Don’t have one, but that’s what a quick search tell)
Don’t have the max version but I believe they shared the same extruder as cr6 se
This video shows how to put it back together https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=adVzvhmIKZM
And they are several option to replace extruder. Cheap one are the same compatible of ender 3 like this one at 4€ https://a.aliexpress.com/_EyXIa19 but you will have to print a raiser for the filament sensor
