DO NOT, I REPEAT, DO NOT BUY THESE "ULTRA-CHEAP" SUB-$100 PRINTERS. There are so many youtube videos and reddit posts explaining why they are horrible, and will turn you away from the hobby forever. If i were you , I'd buy a bambu a1 mini or a creality ender 3 v3 se. Then, if you like it, keep it or

My dad discovered Temu

Yeah, Ali has a surprising amount of great official stores. I got my VR headset (Pico 4) and 3d printer (Ender 3 V3 SE) from there for cheap and great quality, packaging and everything.

I dont get it why people say the Ev3SE is slow...

Well, Creality is partly to blame for that. Ender-3 V3 SE, is a name made in heck. Even worse, a later model is called Ender-3 V3. They took a completely but equally non future-proof route with Hi.

2nd Hand Warning signs

I love mine, but don't buy that. 1st gen doesn't have automatic bed leveling, and the heaters run off 12v. It takes ~10 minutes to preheat the bed and nozzle, so you won't really test much in 5 minutes. Creality sells factory refurbished Ender 3 V3 SE on eBay for $86 delivered to the US. It comes wi

Upgrading after 5 years with an Ender 3 V2: Should I get the Ender 3 V3 SE or make the jump to Bambu Lab?

I started printing in February with an Ender 3 V3 SE. I was instantly hooked. I lasted about 3 weeks and I got a K2 pro combo. I absolutely love both machines. And a lot of people trash Creality, but I think they are great! Since you already know how Creality works and if you like the tunability, I'

After 300+ hours: what I’ve learned about the Centauri Carbon

I have also about 400 hours, comming straight from ender 3 v3 se. My recomendation is If you dont do 100% build plate prints, grab cryo grip plate. I havent found 100 % compatible with CC, but generis ones are covering 99% of my bed. Prints are greatly sticking to it, never had to use any glue or ev

Was the Ender 3 V3 SE a good choice?

Frequenting r/3dprinting , it's the first time I've heard V3 SE has issues and a quick google search didn't show issues either, so I'd say it's more a random faulty product rather than a rule. Unlike with the old Ender 3. My own experience with V3 SE has been amazing, worked straight out of the box

How much to sell for?

Unfortunately, the mods added to an Ender 3 don’t really add to its resale value, sort of like the crap people bolt onto Honda Civics. Your notional $125-150 asking price is dangerously close to the retail of an entire Ender 3 V3 SE, that either includes or supersedes all the upgrades you’ve added t

Mossad used Ender 3 to built drones in secret bases in Iran

My Ender 3 V3 SE prints like a champ, its handled everything I threw at it once I figured out that the person who assembled it (me) was a fucking idiot.
