The end 3 of the Chinese manufacturer Creality3D is one of the most popular FDM (Fused Deposition Modeling) 3D printers on the market. The device offers an extremely attractive price-performance ratio with low prices and at the same time good print quality. The printer comes as a simple kit. This means that the printer is made up of a few individual parts and can be easily assembled within 15 minutes. The installation is child's play and also well documented via the accompanying instructions as well as videos (see below).Open source and a large number of upgrade optionsThe Creality3D Ender 3 is an open source project. All CAD drawings are freely available on Github. Link to the Github Source Files of the Creality3D Ender 3. Thanks to the freely available CAD data and the great popularity of the Ender 3 within the community, there are already various add-ons and extensions for the printer. On the relevant websites and forums there is a large selection of STL files, which serve as an upgrade for the end 3.Many features for a small priceThe Creality3D Ender 3 not only offers a high print resolution and precision, but also has many small functions that make printing with the device much more comfortable and easier. Thus the Ender offers 3 quieter stepper motor drivers than many comparable devices in this price segment. This reduces the overall working volume. Another positive side effect is that the high-quality drivers also control the mechanics precisely and with high accuracy. Leveling (calibration of the pressure bed) is easy to carry out with the help of large wheel screws. The print bed can be heated up to a maximum temperature of 110°C, which the printer can reach within 5 minutes. Even after a power failure, the pressure can continue seamlessly.This text is machine translated.... More
