The manufacturer claims that it will take only 10 minutes and 20 screws before the first 3D print. Creality also released an improved version of this 3D printer called Ender 3 Pro. It is more expensive but has some improvements like a detachable magnetic heat bed and a sturdier Y-axis.

Features:

  • Printing resume function;
  • Self-adhesive build plate;
  • SD card and USB connectivity;
  • Easy assembly;
  • Tight filament pathway;
  • Larger bed leveling knobs;
  • LCD display;
  • Open-source.

The way Creality Ender 3 is designed provides a room for upgrades and modifications without decreasing the print quality. Thanks to the affordable price tag of the machine, there are many Ender 3 owners and a wide range of community-driven mods.

Creality Ender 3 vs Ender 3 V2

On top of the Pro version, the manufacturer developed a V2 of the original printer. So, what is the difference between two versions? Both of these machines are notable for being an affordable choice for 3D printing enthusiasts equipped with key features needed fpor successful printing. They have the same frame design and overall look quite similar. V2, though, includes a textured glass printing bed (while Ender 3 only has a self-adhesive one), which has a longer lifespan and better performance. V2 also has slight design changes such as toolbox under the print bed and a 4.3” HD color screen along with a more useful XY-belt tensioner. Despite the new touches do add to the machine value, both versions stand pretty close and will print decently. You can also compare Ender 3 with Pro version here.

Popular Creality Ender 3 upgrades

BLTouch sensor for Auto-Leveling - a handy modification to reduce calibration and bed leveling time. It will also require a microcontroller and some installation but the result is worth it as the printer typically requires re-calibration every 3-5 runs. Check the guide from dannyw281 for more information.

Glass/Mirror/PP/Magnet built plate. Despite Ender-3 features buildtak alike plate, users are still having adhesion issues with some materials. Upgrading to a different build plate can increase the printing quality and material possibilities allowing a better grip for tougher plastics. Glass and mirror plates will also make bottom layers of prints shiny if you are into that.

Different printing bed springs are mentioned by quite a few owners or Ender-3 as well. The original springs work fine but tend to require recalibration more than the tougher third-party springs. Replacements help reduce wobbling of the build plate along with longer life.

Better fan duct for uniform cooling like the one from dpetsel. Reviews of the original cooling system of Ender-3 tend to mention that airflow isn’t always enough to cool down prints, especially from filaments like ABS.

A more comfortable extruder arm to reduce pain during filament replacement. This model from Coolcrawler helps to deal with the tough spring that Ender-3 extruder has.

This is a great printer if you plan on making improvements to it. If you run it stock, don't expect much. A few extra parts will improve its flaws and make it a truly repeatable and reliable printer.

Works very well when built with care and is very easy to find replacement parts, great community, but very poor QC

Best Printer
Great printer all around

This is one of the OG printers that really blew up the market. You can get a used one for around 30-70 dollars, and turn it into an enclosed machine that will run flexible, high-temp, even with frequency compensation. I think that if you are a beginner this is the perfect printer for you as there are so many tutorials for trouble shooting and upgrading things.

Very great and reliable printer. Very upgradable for better parts.
The Ender-3 V2 is an extremely easy to use, accurate, and reliable 3D printer.

You have to build it your self, which is good for beginners
Really impressed with this machine

Ender 3 are tried and true workhorse machines.

It's a great printer after some tinkering a modifying. Out of the box they leave a bit to be desired, but they're great for printing functional parts, especially when modified to work with higher temp materials like Nylon and Polycarbonate.

The ender 3 will work wonders for you for sure, but it is kind of a bear to set up. That being said, the Ender 3 is a fantastic printer for beginners because since it needs to be assembled when you purchase it - you get to learn about every single part of the printer and what everything does.

Once properly set up and trammed, the failure rate is extremely low, and the print quality is excellent for a sub $300 printer. The included software with this printer is just a rebranded slicing software from Cura, which is already free and open source.

The upgradability for this printer is absolutely endless as well. Nearly every part can be upgraded, and you can even 3D print some parts and upgrades for this printer.

Good printer if you build properly coustomer service not the best

Great community, sub par manufacturer documentation.

To get it printing at the quality it does now, our team needed to spend a decent amount of time troubleshooting and outfitting it with upgrades such as a BLtouch.

For the price we bought it for though, it was worth it in the end.
Great entry level workhorse. There are a lot of inexpensive upgrades as well. For the price you can't go wrong

Absolutely amazing printer for price, feels like it should be a 600-800$ printer easily.
Tuning took a little while, but well worth the work.
