Bambu Lab overtakes Creality as the world's top-selling budget 3D printer brand — resurgence in 3D printer market fueled by budget options

No surprise there. The technology is just fantastic. Creality had (has?) a reputation for being a tinkerer's brand. I started with an Ender 3 Pro, and you could truly mod it in any way to do anything you could possibly think of. Then I got tired of tweaking and calibrating and wanted something that

First layer, you gotta be kidding me

Similar experience here, longtime Creality tinkerer, I have a modded CR-10 and and Ender 3. I recently picked up a P1S combo for Black Friday and the level of ‘just hit print’ is a welcome change. The only “mods” I foresee are some dust covers and waste chute.

Is it over?

Wtf happened here? And this is most definitely fixable. It would definitely be easier if it was one of the OG creality machines such as Ender 3 V1 or CR 10, but at least from here it looks like it's mostly just bent metal. And who says it has to stay original? That broken top piece for example, if y

Ready. Set. neXt.

They are creating a price ladder lineup. Very similar to apple. It ends in the consumer moving towards the higher end due to the added features. Creality was a bottom chaser and they also messed up by calling everything an Ender 3. I can tell you as somebody who uses 3D printer a lot for work, they

Ender 3 Misconception

Ya the issue mainly is people dont want to tinker and tune when they buy a product. Especially when they see printers now like bambu which basically just work perfect out of the box. You also pay for that pleasure. Ive had friends ask me if they should get into 3d printing or should they get an ende

Nozzle physically too far away

My fault. I assumed when you said in the description that "I just installed a new hot end on my Ender V3" you meant an Ender V3. How silly of me. You also STILL bought the wrong hotend. Ender 3 V2 Neo is different. Creality doesn't help by being unimaginative in their naming scheme

What 3D printer do you use for your free CAD models?

I made myself a deal that if I could learn CAD, then I would "earn" a 3D printer. I started with SolidWorks and discovered that I liked FreeCAD better. When I felt comfortable making models, then I started shopping for a 3D printer. I narrowed it down to these: Creality Ender 3: This was attractive

Klipper printer from scratch

Why are you cloning an Ender 3? Don't take this the wrong way, I love my Ender 3, but that's quite an old design by now and it's also one of the most copied designs. I feel like something more similar to the Ender 5 might be better suited to take advantage of klipper's features. A Voron style would

Is there anything like this for the ender 3?

I know this isn't what your asking for, but for what it's worth.... I tried every leveling "trick" in the book with my original Ender. I even mounted a dial caliper to the print head and leveled that way to be SUPER precise. I only quit having adhesion issues when: I upgraded my bed with a good piec
