Ender 3

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

My Ender 3v2 has been working pretty flawlessly and consistent over the last 3 years I had it. Upgrades I made directly out of the box: Auto Bed Leveling usingthe CR Touch upgrade from Creality replaced the bed leveling springs with silicone washers (also from Creality) replaced the plastic filament

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

Yes, you can klipper on anything Linux! Use KIAUH (Klipper Installation And Update Helper). Even on Arch btw😈 Yes you can get live data from Klipper, it’s a very mature ecosystem! Just give it a go! About the 3rd ;I have seen people do this and I want to try but for now I do a SCREWS_TILT_CALCULATE (k

Try the Mricsoc firmware, i use it since a few years. Get an autolevelprobe, install it, chnage the software to mriscoc, calibrate the printer and thats it. You can use the formware without installing an autolevelprobe. You can use a cheap chinese one or the creality one. The standardbed of the ende

Firmware has come a very long way in the years since Creality abandoned these machines. It's worth loading up something modern like MRiscoC ( https://github.com/mriscoc/Ender3V2S1 ), cranking out a modern slicer like Orca Slicer and running through Ellis' Calibration Guide ( https://ellis3dp.com/Pri

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

Here's what nobody will actually tell you... Basically each and every Ender 3 bed is going to be a taco. It's not actually going to be flat because these are rolled aluminum from the factory. So when you heat them up they basically remember the fact that they were rolled and they basically become ta

Update: I Figured it out. After installing the Creality Sprite, there was a peripheral that needed a major change. Estepps/mm needed to be changed from 0.0 to 424.9 specifically. Made this adjustment and found a kick ass Cura profile specifically for the Ender 3 pro and holy shit, is she printing li

There are two main types of 3D printers: Resin and FDM. Based on what you mentioned about him, an FDM printer would be the better choice. Before buying, you can casually ask him what kind of printer he prefers. For example, ask which printer he uses at his office or which one he likes working with.
