Review on ⚙️ Creality Mainboard with Meanwell Power Supply and Carborundum Platform by Justin Metz

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Another great printer from Creality

If you've been working with 3D printers for a while, you're familiar with the Creality name and this printer is right for you again. The Ender 3 MAX doesn't differ much from the Ender 3 Pro, other than the larger printing platform. In my case it allows me to print large batches of prints so I don't have to be around to remove prints and restart the printer and I can just get on with my work. Sensor, larger alignment knobs, and the newer hot-end assembly that Creality has been using lately. The dual print fan is nice to have too, but running both at full speed makes itself felt when it's not normally needed. The interface of this printer is the same as that of the well-known rotary knob Ender 3. . I suspect the Touchscreen V2 will arrive sometime this year, but who knows. As for leveling the bed - that's the fun! I haven't installed it yet, but the printer officially supports BLTouch. There are screw holes for the sensor, and Creality has official firmware that supports auto-alignment with BLTouch. Based on the instructions I've seen, the process seems easy, so I'm definitely happy to see everything working together. Print quality is as good as any of my printers, even with a 0.6mm nozzle and 0.3mm layer thickness you still get smooth prints and accurate reproduction. All in all, this is a great buy for anyone looking for a printer with a larger bed and higher print volume. I'm almost ready to buy another one of these!
