desertcart.com: Official Creality Ender 3 3D Printer Fully Open Source with Resume Printing Function DIY Printers Build Volulme 8.66x8.66x9.84 inch : Everything Else

Review: Amazing printer! - The Ender 3 marked my entry into the 3D-printing world, and I love it! The 3D printer has been a godsend! If you're also newbie and searching for advice, here's my brief take on the Ender 3. It's awesome! The Ender 3 arrives in pieces that you must assemble. Since it is essentially a robot, assembly can seem overwhelming at first, but if you take it one step at a time, you'll be printing in no time. I found the printed instructions accompanying the unit to be more sizzle than steak, but, fortunately there are several videos on YouTube that make assembly a breeze. Believe it or not, assembling the unit yourself is beneficial because it familiarizes you with the device. It will allow you to easily make the minor adjustments that 3D printers often require. My wife and I have found that 3D printing comes with somewhat of a steep learning curve, but it's fun. YouTube and websites such as "all3DP dot com" have proven themselves to be life savers. The most common adjustments you'll make while 3D printing is "bed leveling." In truth, though, you're not actually "leveling" the print bed, but rather you're ensuring that the print nozzle is uniformly distanced from the bed (the print surface) on all its 4 corners. The nozzle needs to be super close, too. ...not about an inch or two away from the print bed, but rather it needs to be no further than the thickness of a piece of paper. Crazy, huh? When my wife and I printed a test file provided by Creality (the manufacturer), we frankly sat mesmerized at the unit's precision. It was like staring into a campfire and getting lost in the flames. The nozzle just zipped back and forth across the print bed leaving tiny bits of corn-based "plastic" one layer at a time, and eventually (over time) created a cat/dog thingy. In search of more things to print, we settled on two websites with tons of 3D-printable files that are very often free to download. The websites are "thingiverse dot com" and "cults3d dot com". The latter site takes longer to load, but seems to have more options. Creality has one too, but I haven't really checked it out yet. It's important to note that the files you download from such websites are *.stl files, whereas the Ender 3 needs *.gcode files. To make the file conversion, we downloaded a piece of software called Cura. It appears to be the best (free) software on the market for "slicing" 3D files into *.gcode files. That too has a steep learning curve, complete with complicated settings. But fortunately there are lots of tutorials online along with settings you can copy from experts. I mostly rely on "all3DP dot com" for that. After a while, we decided to invent our own designs and then print them into existence. In my opinion, the cat's meow -- the best and easiest 3D design application -- is Fusion360. It has a limited free version for students and schools, but otherwise it's quite pricey. My wife then found free, open-sourced design software called FreeCAD. We love it, and haven't turned back since. The filament we prefer is PLA. In our experience, PLA produces little to no fumes and it's guilt-free because it's corn-based and biodegradable. It should be noted, though, that not all PLA is created equally. This is primarily because (according to what I've read) pigments affect the PLA in different ways. So, when I order PLA from desertcart, I always look for the PLA with the most and highest reviews. Then, I refer upon their temperature recommendations. Overall, we absolutely love the Ender 3. At under $200, it's extremely affordable, and the process of printing things into existence can be (in my experience) somehow transformative. And if you find yourself confused about something, take my advice by not wasting time by trying to figure it out for yourself. Just refer to the experts on any of the websites I mentioned so, later on, you can focus on things that really matter...like design. Note: the bearing on a little fan went out. So, I reached out to Comgrow, they got back to me immediately, and now a new fan is on the way. No fuss no muss. Finally, at the risk of getting to personal, I'm a disabled veteran who benefits from focusing on tangible things. The process of 3D printing has proven itself to be such a godsend in that regard, that I think the VA should seriously explore ways of getting more vets 3D printing. I hope this helped newbies like me. Happy printing!
Review: Works well and easy printing - 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. Update: I thought I would add to my review now that I have had some time working with this printer. I've made a lot of improvements to the device I first received. The nice thing is most of the improvements are cheap or you can print them. First thing to note: I was having a lot of problems with printing anything large that took a bit of time. After a lot of digging I found the hotend shipped with the printer was (in my opinion) put together wrong. They either built it cold or inserted the nozzle before the heat break. Either way there was a gap that could not be fixed in the hotend. I bought a Creality spider hotend which is all metal. Way better and it works great. Add to that a BL Touch sensor for autoleveling the bed. Best addition ever. You still need to start with a level bed but it fixes all the little problems with uneven bed surfaces and stopped my extruder problems. While on the extruder. Calibrate your machine! Take the time to measure the output from your extruder. They use a generic setting from the factory. You NEED to set up this machine. Calibrate the extruder, the retraction distance, the nozzle temp for the filiment etc. Pay attention to the details and you will get great results. Really happy with this printer. It takes work but it's a fun project that leads to other projects, and for a beginner it's hard to beat. Some say you should buy higher end and avoid all the minor issues. I disagree. I think this has been a learning experience that prompted me to understand the machine. I think that basic knowledge of the process is important. Your mileage may vary.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Seriously how difficult is the build?**
A: It is very straightforward, but the downloadable PDF instructions leave a lot to be desired. I highly recommend using the top-rated "how to build" video, along with the PDF. Here is a link to that video:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=me8Qrwh907Q

The video contains a huge number of hints which, having now completed my first 3D print, which was 100% successful, I can now fully appreciate. The video helps you get everything square, and makes sure that many minor adjustments which were not done perfectly at the factory, are tweaked just right.

**Q: Hi. Purchasing for my young granddaughter. will I need to purchase anything else with the unit in order to use it christmas day?**
A: this is probably a little late but a 3d printer (like this one) is not for little kids there are parts that get hot enough to burn you badly and you need some moderate knowledge on how to work a computer. in conclusion, not a good choice for young children (maybe 12 and older)

**Q: I am looking to purchase a 3D printer as a gift for a beginner. Does anyone have any recommendations?  Thank you**
A: My first printer was a Delta FLSun Q5.  I wanted another printer so I bought the Ender 3.  After using the Ender 3, I strongly recommend the Q5 over this.  It is about $120 more but it has more features and is very user friendly compared to the Ender 3

**Q: Does the creality ender 3 has the dual extruders like the bibo 3d printer?**
A: No, but. You could upgrade it if you have the expertise

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Will Be a Great 3D Printer Shortly
*by J***N on August 19, 2018*

Another reviewer said to "build" it rather than "assemble" it. I get the drift now. The printer is touted as one of the best for the low price because it can print as well as a 3D printer costing 10X as much. The caveat though is that this will take some tweaking and debugging and some upgraded parts to get the printer to this condition. Lots of highly technical buyers on various blogs and YouTube to rely on for information though. I think the skill set required to make this a great printer is 1) Some Arduino experience (to load a bootloader to allow firmware updates to address improved parts such as an auto bed leveler, etc. 2) Some programming experience or at least the ability to compile a C+ program written and load to the Sanguino 1284P 16MHz MCU that is the controller for this 3D printer (to make improvements); 3) Ability to tinker -- finetune the mechanical system; 4) Ability to understand electronics -- MCUs would be nice. My printer came with the following faults: 1. One of the set screws in the brass extruder was stripped out -- operating fine off the one set screw (on the flat) for now but may replace the whole with a direct drive extruder because the system will not print soft (flexible) filament plastics very well with the Bowden tube setup it has now. 2. The Bowden tube coupler slips on many Ender-3 owner's extruders and there are improved couplers out there. Tube is 4mm OD. 3. The Bowden tube will not handle the heat of ABS printing and in fact the printer may not print ABS well because it is not enclosed and for ABS you need to stabilize the temperature of the bed and the ambient air around the printing object. 4. There is a drilled hole in the controller PCB along the edge that reduces the amount of copper trace material to a fine thread and this really does need a jumper around to pass the current without creating a hot spot. Also the area is isolated from the metal standoffs in the controller box with only a think layer of PCB coating and then a direct short will occur. Four (4) insulators need to be added between the stand offs and the PCB. 5. There is a 100uF 16v electrolytic capacitor in the middle of the SMD controller board that is used to smooth the data coming from the thermistors that are used to measure nozzle temperature and build bed temperature. 100uf is insufficient and causes the temperature to bounce around. This should be replaced by a SMD style 220uF 25v electrolytic capacitor (or 440uF). A company called TH3D will do this for about $30 if you send them your controller box (or the circuit board itself. 6. The fan that creates airflow in the conroller box to keep the internal components cool is connected to the same circuit that governs the nozzle fan which (depending on what you are printing... PLA, ABS, etc) may be on or off or even set to a reduced flow speed. This is incorrect. I cut it and wired this directly into the Power Supply input voltage to the controller board so it is always on when the main switch on the power supply is on. You can find info on doing this on YouTube. 7. There are three (3) MOSFEts on the controller board that share a heat sink that is 20mm long and 10mm wide or so. The heat sink is about 4mm short and doesn't cover the last MOSFET. When I pulled the heatsink off I found that the thermal paste didnt extend to this last MOSFET leaving it to get hot (no heat sinking). I cut a picece of heatsink that i2 24mm long to cover and used ArticSilver adhesive as a thermal paste to improve cooling. I found a person on YouTube that had identified this problem (common with most of the Ender-3 units) and it was causing some print flaws because though the MOSFET won't be damaged by overheating it does shut itself down until it cools back to operating temperature. Most MOSFETs and like circuits today have self-preservation features in them that prevent them from being destroyed by overheating -- the compromise is that they shut down for the interim. 8. The aluminum bed is warped on the unit I got. Not sure if it came that way. The bolts that hold the four (4) corners doi not accomodate the thermal expension of the aluminum build plate which expands as metal objects do when they are heated.With no place for this exansion to expand to the bed warps. I plan to fix this by removing the black cover from the bed to bear the aluminum and clip a piece of borosiliate glass onto it as a printing surface and possibly insulate the bottom of the build plate with an aerogel insulation pad. I will use the TH3D EZABL (Automatic Bed Leveler) in the system and let the printer detemine the bed level so I don't have to fine tune it with a feeler gauge (or piece of paper) to level the bed. You can't level a warped bed by adjusting 4 corners!! My bed is high in the back, left edge, and front and sunk in the middle and right side. Not enough to see it but that is what is happening. The warp changes with changing bed temperatures as well.
