This thing is awesome. Works great. Takes a minute to get your bearings but after that , good preventative maintenance and cleaning once level, this this is a breeze.

Assembly was confusing and took quite a while, would recommend two people! The printer seems to work, took four tries and my print is almost finally working correctly. Fairly good for a casual printer, I’ve only really had issues with the print not sticking to the bed. One of the better printers for low print lines honestly, it’s fairly smooth!I will say it prints faster than I was expecting!

it is a good printer for beginners but breaks up easily.

I purchased this printer in January 2024 and it’s now late April 2024. This printer is a great learning experience and also prints out some great quality prints. But here the deal breaker on this printer if you are not mechanically inclined and do not want to take the time to read and learn this printer is not for you.So let’s jump in with the pros. Out of box this printer after setup prints great as it sits. But because it’s a basic model there’s room for improvements. Which is another pro you can upgrade the crap out of this machine. As you can kind of see in my picture mine is no longer stock. I have added linear rails to all 3 Axis, a dual z axis stepper motor setup, filament run out sensor, cr touch, silicone leveling spacers, and a all metal dual gear extruder. And I’m not done upgrading these units is fun.The cons like I said above if your not mechanically inclined save your time and go spend 600 plus on the big names and come pre assembled and have all the bells and whistles. But here are real cons. Out of box setting this thing up with the instructions that come with it forget it. Find yourself a good solid video on Amazon or YouTube and watch it before you even attempt to open the box. Next leveling this unit out of box is crazy insane invest in silicone leveling spacers or buy the car touch kit which helps with bed leveling and you can find one that comes with the spacers. Next is firmware from creality it works but there’s better out there just do your research and go for what’s best going to suit your printing needs. Oh the plastic extruder blows big time it will break on you when you really wish it wouldn’t have and you got to scrap an entire print 3/4’s of the way done. The wheels are not the greatest either even with nylock nuts they loosen up frequently.

Love this machine. I figured for the price of 4 packs of minis I could just buy this machine so I did. It was pretty easy to put together and came with all the tools to do so. The speed is ok it can go faster I just haven’t ran it enough to feel confident. So far the prints adhere to the bed so well that I sometimes struggle getting them off. And it hasn’t clogged yet and I put blue lock-tite on the screws so I don’t think I’ll have to tighten anytime soon. All in all it’s a great machine it doesn’t look terrible and it’s pretty sturdy so I 100% stand by the ender3 line.

Buena impresora para aprender

You will think you have mastered printing, you will think you have mastered enders and then it will all fall a part. I have bought 6+ various ender models. All lead to the same conclusion.

Best 3d printer ever super easy love it

Good first 3D Printer for beginners. Pretty easy to use and good print quality right out of the box.Printer comes in parts and needs to be assembled. All tools are included to build the printer out of the box. The printed instructions on how to assemble the printer are worthless. Your best bet is to watch a Youtube video and follow along.Later I purchased a bed leveling sensor to help make bed leveling easier and less time consuming. Well worth the extra money. I did have some challenges with installing the firmware but their Tech support was able to work me through the issue. Tech support was good but there was a significant delay in responses due to their Tech support being in China. Turned out to be an issue with my micro SD card and not the printer.I recommend this printer for sure for the price.

Very poor instruction manual.

After doing everything we could to get the printer to work, we finally requested a new one and seller does not want to replace the prouduct or refund the money. Printer refuses to print. Printer goes through all the motions, but when you go to print it says bed cooling and does nothing else. Horrible product. I do not recommend buying from this seller.

My son was able to take it from the box and had it printing in no time! He loves it ! The quality of items printed is quite detailed. I nailed it with this gift! Yay!

Bought this printer for my son and when we went to put it together the instructions were terrible. Just a few pictures to put this very complicated item together. I had to YouTube instructions only to find parts were missing. After numerous attempts to get in touch with the seller and Amazon both parties said it was the others responsibility and to contact them. I never received any help or parts and by the time I realized they weren’t going to get me what I needed it was too late to send it back for a refund.Terrible experience and will never buy this product again.

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.

Like the headline says, this is the first 3D printer that I have ever bought and I bought it because my son already had one and I had seen the quality of the prints and decided to splurge on one and make a few things. It didn’t take all that long to put together and the instructions were pretty clear, not to mention that the included instructions of the micro SD card were a nice touch. Since buying this I have made countless things, and because of this printer it has really gotten me into doing 3D prints both for personal use as well as for my IT business, as I have made brackets for SSD’s to go into tower computers in a matter of a few hours instead of buying them online and waiting for them to arrive, which has made completing client repairs that much faster. As I write this I have the printer doing yet another job, so I would highly recommend it to someone looking to get into 3D printing and who has a bit of a tinkering streak in them as this is a fairly bare bones, basic printer that gets the job done. Not to mention that I initially had a small problem and the tech support was outstanding, I could not have been more pleased!

creality sucks. this printer is a waste of money. go buy an anker mate for 100 or so bucks more. horrible instructions. print stuck to the bed. way too many wires and complicated pieces. absolutely a nightmare to level and print. dont buy it i’m warning you, its a waste of time. now i have to package it back up and send it back.
