Creality Ender 3 3D Printer Kit With 5 Meters Filament

Delivered fast. Safety packaged. 4 pulleys was a bit compressed , but after few moving and litle setting is now functional . After first printig I am very satisfied . I highly recommend .

This printer is GOOD. Takes some tuning of course but everything will start to come together as you gain knowledge of how your machine operates. Assembly is fun and doesn’t take long, especially with two people and a 15 minute YouTube video. You can get some upgrades for your printer right away or add them on at a later time as you see fit. I ended up making some beautiful prints 3 hours after I opened the box. A great little machine and a must have addition to any techies’ home.

The printer is nice and works great! Only thing I had to do after I set it up and turned it on was I had to raise the bar with the nozzle all the way up by hand then home it because it wasnt wanting to move up and bottoming out. If you use this one any where like a bed room or any thing I highly recommend getting the silent board upgrade kit for it, it made the motors dead silent.

This is my first personal 3d printer. I normally use resin based printers at work so I'm used to high quality prints. This printer is able to print at near resin quality if you turn the layer height to .05mm and speed to 25mm/s. I've attached a picture of my very first print (not including the test dog). Obviously resin is going to look better, but for a $250 FDM printer, I doubt you could find a better deal. I ended up choosing FDM over Resin due to the cost of resin. It costs around 5x to 10x more to print using resin.

The Ender 3 Pro is a dynamite 3D printer. My first printer was an Artifex that cost me $1500 and can not turn out prints anywhere as good as the Ender. Once I got it assembled and calibrated I printed the test print dog that came on the SD card. Excellent print results! From there I have printed a number of upgrade parts (cable clips, extruder knob, and side mounting spool bracket). This is a workhorse of a printer! Assembly was made easier by watching a Youtube video by Tomb of 3D Printed Horrors. Refer to the video while building, and take your time. Once it is built nice and square, pull up the Ender 3 - Easy Way to Level Your Bed video from CHEP. Follow his instructions and you will be ready to print like a pro! Finally I would recommend you download a free copy of Cura. This program will take .STL models and slice them into g-code that your printer can use. PROS: low price, nice and stable design, active community with lots of upgrades to print or add on
