Decent 3D printer for the price

Overall this is a great 3D printer. Just ignore the book and use YouTube for learning and troubleshooting. And another important trait for those starting something new, make sure you have patience. I thought about sending the printer in several times. First I tried to assemble it according to the instructions. After finding out that the instructions are only good for making a fire, I turned to YouTube. Just make sure you find the instructions for that particular model. For example, don't use Ender 3 video and think it works. You need Ender 3 Pro v2. The second problem is the bed orientation. A quick tip on using the automatic homecoming feature. Tell that to the RV twice. For some reason, when the motorhome is first started, the Z-axis is not in the correct position. There's nothing more frustrating than thinking you've finally aligned it, only to find out your z-height was wrong. And what's even worse when YouTube videos say it takes 15 minutes max. Don't worry, it took a lot longer. But be patient and you will be fine. The third problem is that in the early stages my prints were constantly moving. So I turned back to YouTube and found that you have to use a glue stick. I was skeptical at first but after my son got the glue stick it really worked. After tweaking and debugging I'm really enjoying it. I made the Atlantis Stargate city and the detail is amazing. I made some other items like a cable holder and more importantly a Star Wars light splatter that kids love. The detail is amazing. I can even make screws and bolts if something breaks and Lowes wants to charge me $10 for a screw that doesn't even work. Now I can just print it myself if used on a part that doesn't get hot. By the way: If you want to save a few euros and use the Ender 3 instead of the Ender 3 pro v2. Don't end up spending more money to fix or improve it. This is my first 3D printer and it does the job.

Pros
  • Pleasant to use
Cons
  • No performance
