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

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

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

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

People making fun of bambu owners

To be fair, you have to have a very high IQ to understand the Creality Enders 3V2. The firmware is extremely subtle, and without a solid grasp of theoretical physics most of the features will go over a typical Bambu owner's head. There's also the Enders nihilistic outlook, which is deftly woven into

What are the must-haves upgrades for the Ender 3?

First step is to look up the pricing of a Bambu Lab A1 in your local currency. IMO, the target cost should be 50% of that or less (preferably much less). It's not 2019 any more and we're not competing against wildly overpriced Prusa MK3's. The amount of printer and ecosystem $300 buys these days is

CORE One L Price increase from April 7th

Not for me, thanks. I learned a lot from the Monoprice and Creality printers I started with, and they were definitely cheap, but I got what I paid for, and that included the need to do a lot of work and upgrades to get decent quality prints consistently. My Mk4 and Core One are workhorses, and produ

Is it even worth it anymore?

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
