Review on SainSmart Ender 3 3D Printer Printing by Daniel Russell

Revainrating 5 out of 5

$199 on lightning sale

Bought this Sainsmart x Creality Ender 3 on a lightning sale from Revain Prime for $199. My first 3D printer. No assembly problems, but I did my homework in advance. There is a huge community behind this printer and the sources of information on the internet are endless. I'm glad I chose the Sainsmart brand as the quality is excellent. I didn't have any general problems with Ender 3 from other manufacturers. My Sainsmart Ender 3 worked great the first time. When you receive it, print out the test dog. Then download the latest version of Cura online (do not use Cura that comes on the supplied micro SD card). Then go to Youtube and watch a video from a guy called San Tube about the Cura settings for Ender 3 and set those settings to Cura. I use these settings and the prints are very good. I have no experience with 3D printers or slicing software, but it's all very easy to figure out once you take advantage of the endless knowledge base online. Very happy to have received the Sainsmart x Creality Ender 3. Updated October 7th. Still works great. zero problems. Easy to align and prints great. They printed every day. Big community behind this printer. I didn't need them, but I bought new wheels and better springs for body adjustment, but haven't installed them yet. Will get myself a new improved glass bed. I've seen this printer in the Lightning Deals section of the Department of Industry and Science many times since I bought it. Wait, he seems to be there every few weeks.

Pros
  • Great for me
Cons
  • No instructions
