Ender 3

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.

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

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

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.

As Bambu is bespoke and community unfriendly , anycubic KobraX may create hassles for newcomers ( i own one and i am 100% satisfied ): For new printer i would go for creality spark I7 at the moment. KobraX also has looong delivery time often. I3 and similar are still a good choice to LEARN how a pri

so. First off, that's a base Ender 3, the Y axis gives it away. So it'll never be a pro max. but let's discuss your other parts. the motherboard (BIGTREETECH BTT SKR Mini E3 V3.0) Solid Choice over the stock creality board if you want to push speed/acceleration, not to mention cost value compared to

Here’s a list. I wish there was a pinned area with all of these. You probably want to get one of these since it helps with the blob of death issue. https://store.micro-swiss.com/products/micro-swiss-flowtech-hotend-for-creality-ender-3-v3-ke Here’s a collection of printable mods. https://m.crealityc
