    • Very addictive!
Model: Ender 3
I have been thinking about buying a 3d printer for a little over a year. They have been pricy so I've not stepped into this arena, especially with so much information to wade through. So I bought this printer on a whim with a "lighting deal." First, I read other reviews and found YouTube for assembling the printer. The instructions help a little with the videos, but this is really the only negative. It's well made and simple to assemble so it made for a fun afternoon. Next thing to know is that I didn't know nearly enough. Once it's assembled, you have to level it. Luckily there's a ton of videos on this, and the assembly videos will go through that as well. It's not hard, but something I never thought of. I also got the auto leveler and installed it a few days later. That's a whole different thing that is amazing once you figure it out. Another thing i didn't realize is the print bed. This printer comes with one, obviously, and it does a good job. Keeping the bed level is hugely important for your prints. Also keeping it clean. It's never really clean though. I watched a ton of videos about using alcohol to clean it but that can actually be too harsh. Soap and water seems to be the go to across forums. Using some other adhesive is fair game as well. I didn't realize how much damage I did and bought a glass bed for my prints. Glass was amazing! It actually struggled to get prints to release. But the alcohol was too much and had already started to ruin my new bed. So, just soap and water should get you through most issues (and don't be afraid of the glass bed, it is pretty nice) Now, your filament absorbs water. I also didn't realize this and thought the various filament storage and dryer were just frivolous. They are, and they aren't. I have silica beads, and a vacuum sealer, so I don't strictly speaking need one of those. Also, my oven has a dehydration setting. However, it's nice to just have one on hand and not take up the kitchen or extra electricity from having the oven on. So, need one, no, but I'm not mad that my bundle came with one. Most of the rest of your questions can be Googled. But also, read forums, not just the popular videos and articles (it's how I've ruined two print bed). Everyone loves discussing the slicer (print configuration software basically) settings ands getting the most out of each print. I'm personally looking forward to learning to build my own designs, but don't feel like you have to. My kids love me printing endless frogs and cats for them to display and show off. My nephew likes the toys I've managed so far. Above I've mentioned things I've learned and wish I knew more about ahead of time. However I haven't really talked about the printer itself. It's been great. There's no real instructions because each print is a little different. You need to experiment to see what works best with everything. That may not be for everyone. But you can create surprisingly large prints with great detail with this printer. It's been smooth! It's worth noting that 3d printers can be loud, but it's not very. If say it's more quiet then most dot matrix printers. I can sit by it printing and work on other projects, or leave the room and I can't really hear it. So if you're wanting to break into this as a hobby, this is an excellent printer to start with. It's a little older so there's tons of help out there for it and it's been reliable. Replacement parts are not expensive, nor are upgrades. TLDR: This is a good printer and I'm happy with my purchase. ... show more

I've only printed a few things so far but it's enough to give some good feedback. At this price point don't expect any frills. That said this bare bones printer performs great. First off from my pictures you'll notice I upgraded the print bed to glass. It's only an extra $12 at the time I purchased. I read some other info online that lead me to believe this would be more likely to be level and perform better. i don't regret it. It works great. My advice would be to take your time assembling this printer. Expect it to take about 4 hours, perhaps more. Make sure everything is tight and aligned properly in terms of the rollers, belts etc. Do not rely on the quick start guide or included instructions. Go out to Youtube and follow the assembly video. Pause it for each step. When you are done stay on Youtube. There is a "Complete beginner's guide" on there from an Australian creator that demonstrates using this exact model. I noticed his menus are a little different due to software changes but his leveling guide and calibration files work great. For being one of the cheapest printers you can get the performance is surprising. I'm very happy with the print quality. I love that I can use tools on Linux or Windows. You don't need to be plugged in as you can simply print from G code on the included micro SD card. The videos online can get you up and running quickly. Every tool needed to build and run the printer are in the box. Nice touch. There is a small amount of PLA material but you will want to order more right away. The included spool is small and really only enough for a couple test prints. If you are a beginner why spend more? This is the perfect first printer. ... show more

    • Great for an intermediate-skilled experience
Model: Ender 3
The first few weeks with this printer were actually pretty rocky. I was having lots of printing failures and quirky problems. Many were due to user error and lack of experience, a few were made worse by poor usability design. Whoever designed this printer didn't really think through some things. This takes tweaking out of the box. With that said, I highly recommend this printer to someone who is looking for an amazing printer at a lower price, is good at troubleshooting prints, and is capable of problem solving and addressing some out of the box product issues. The cons list, while long, is all easily fixable. For the price you pay, these types of adjustments are completely worth it. Cons: -You must assemble yourself. This majorly increases the risk of breaking something or installing something wrong resulting in crazy printing problems. This also raises the risk of voiding your warranty. So, be really good at building things and able to fix your way out of mistakes - The out of the box filament holder/location is just flat out ridiculous. You'll need to print several additional parts if you want filament that doesn't interfere with your z-axis lead rod. -The frame is very prone to vibrations that affect the print. You'll need to print out feet to absorb the vibrations -The fan on the computer unit is in about the worst place imaginable. you'll need to print out a shield that redirects the airflow to avoid filament falling into the unit and the front left corner of the bed cooling off. -The wires were seemingly designed to get hung on the frame. you'll need to print several parts to slope the edges of the frame and do some cable management to avoid them getting hung on other parts. - The LCD screen has no backplate so you have a bare circuitboard exposed to whatever decides to bump into it. You'll need to print a backplate if you want to keep it protected. -The bed is so dad-gum hard to get level and keep that way. One tiny little nudge can throw the whole thing off. The springs are very weak and don't really hold in place for the first few weeks of use. You'll probably want to buy replacement springs or be VERY CAREFUL when interacting with the bed or anything remotely near the bed. -The x-axis belt is slightly too big, meaning that you're going to get ovals instead of circles out of the box. I used one of the included zip-ties to tighten the belt where it fits into the printhead notch and now it works fine. -the z-axis lead rod is crooked. IDK how to explain this or why it is this way, or how I fixed it but it is legit out of the box crooked. I think I blacked out while fixing it because I can't figure out how I straightened it out. Mine still has a slight slope when the arm is towards the bottom of the bed. IDK. Maybe I'll never understand. There are some parts you can print that are spacers for the unit, but keep in mind the frame acts as a heat sink so you'll need to add some raspberry pi heat sinks to the z motor to keep it from overheating. -this thing grounds by plugging in to the wall. That is fine and normal, but KEEP THIS IN MIND and make sure whatever you plug it into has a verified working ground. My surge protector was broken and the ground wasn't working. So I kept having massive crashes with the machine. Turns out static was building up during long prints and shorting out the machine. Yikes. Again though, this isn't the machine's fault. Just adding this in because it's pretty important to understand. -Cura doesn't have this printer listed in presets. You have to take the cura 10 settings and tweak them. There are lots of tutorials on youtube on how to get the best out of this printer so prepare to watch a lot of videos and have a lot of filament sacrificed to the test print gods. Pros: -price is like...wow. Amazing -the bed size is huge and really gives you room to create some awesome stuff -you can get some incredible quality prints off this puppy. Once I got mine in a good state I was astonished with the quality -can print at pretty high speeds and retain quality -it has print recovery that works surprisingly well in the case of a power interruption. -Is at it's core a very good little printer that is highly capable and reliable ONCE YOU ADDRESS THE ABOVE CONCERNS. If you're a beginner and you're looking for something easy to get started with, skip this and go with something like the monoprice mini v2. If you've been working with a beginner printer for a while and are starting to feel limited, and you're good at troubleshooting - I highly recommend this printer. It's worth it. ... show more
