Review on πŸ”§ Efficient Upgrade: Ender V2 Motherboard Carborundum 8 6X8 6X9 8In Enhances Performance by Lild Zimmerly

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Excellent 3D printer, definitely a leader in its class

To be honest, my friend bought it, which influenced the fact that I bought the same one. A friend of mine is reviewing these things and I know for a fact that he has identified this as the best on the market in a given price range. I did almost no research before purchasing, so it was definitely a gamble. I am very satisfied with this 3D printer. This is one of the most popular models in the world of 3D printers. What that means is loads of resources on how it works, tips and tricks, etc. I didn't even see the manual to put it together, I watched the guy on YouTube and followed his instructions. I'm sure I did it much better and more accurate by watching the video. The v2 interface is very intuitive and easy to navigate. The adjustable mean pressure is a bit flimsy, mainly limited by speed, nozzle temperature, and bed temperature. All other settings are made and entered in the slicing software of your choice. This machine is fairly easy to assemble and easy to understand how it works. If something is unclear, search the web or YouTube and you will find someone to help you figure it out on that particular computer. I would recommend upgrading the bed springs and extruder. My buddy's standard plastic extruder broke down within a month. Since he did some research prior to my purchase and recommended some upgrades from the start, I started building the Capricorn tubes using Creality's best springs and a metal extruder. If you want to get into 3D printing, by all means don't. Looking to spend a million, have some mechanical skill and patience, and are willing to pursue a new exciting hobby I would recommend the Ender 3 v2. Mac features. Currently you have to carry a microSD to and from your computer and printer to do anything. I wish you could send .gcode files over the air like Harry Potter and get your work done. I bought a Creality WiFi box but you are limited by the iOS/Android app interface. It doesn't communicate with the computer.

Pros
  • Lots of positive emotions
Cons
  • No performance
