As I am new to 3D printing, I wanted something that:
- Easy to setup and get going on
- Sufficiently capable to avoid quickly "outgrowing" it
- Affordable (<$300)
= Why I Choose the Ender 3 Pro
I was torn between the Ender 3 and the Ender 3 Pro. I settled on the Pro, as I figured that the Pro represented the best and most refined version out-of-box. The Ender 3 is a tried and true model with it's strengths and weakness well known. There are numerous howtos available on how to address the various short comings of the Ender 3. However, several of the enhancements offered by the Ender 3 Pro are either more difficult or cost - approaching or exceeding the cost differential between the 3 and 3 Pro. For example, the upgraded (sturdier) Y-axis base is more difficult to do on your own and requires significant disassembly and reassembly. The upgraded PSU is nearly the cost difference alone and results in an unused item in your drawer that you paid for.
= Out of the Box Experience
The printer was easy to assemble and worked well without any modifications. It is critically important to get the bed "level" - not as in bubble level but as in consistent height from the extruder nozzle (I used the paper method). It is also important to make sure that the wheel/track assembles are straight and true with proper tightness. I found several helpful guide videos online for this specific model that do a good job of walking you through it.
My device came with the latest FW at the time of writing (1.1.6.2), so I have no experience in FW flashing yet. I do plan on setting up an OctoPi/OctoPrint solution, but for now the including SDcard and adapter has worked fine. I've printed with both PLA and PETG and both come out surprisingly well in my opinion. I've been using the latest version of Ultimaker Cura at the time of writing (4.5.0) for slicing STL files.
= Notes on Usage
A note on print times. I have no experience from which to base my expectations on print times however, you do need to be patient as many prints can take 5, 10, 15+ *hours*. I haven't tinkered around much with the print settings to see how much of a reduction in time I can achieve and at what quality tradeoffs. Nor have I experimented much to see how print quality and time stacks up when printing multiple parts simultaneously versus multiple prints of singular parts.
You should monitor your prints - initially to make sure it lays down a good first layer that adheres well and then periodically check on it to make sure it doesn't go awry. Also, make sure you have enough filament to finish the print and that you plan for the duration. Things like
- Are you comfortable with it printing overnight or while you are away?
- Will the printer be free from vibrations/bumps/drafts in it's location (e.g. dining room table) from foot traffic, AC vents, etc for the duration of the print?
= Final Thoughts
Overall, I've been very happy with this purchase and foresee a long service given it's performance, upgradability, and available of spares in case of part failure.
Product - You cannot beat this printer for the $$. Setup was less than 30 minutes, and it was tuned perfectly right out of the box. It will require some adjusting of the rollers to get the bed stable, but that's all.
Customer service - Fantastic. They were very quick to reply and took care of the issue that I encountered without any major hassles. The great customer service is the reason I decided to leave this review.
Detailed Review:
Pros
1. The cost for what you get. A friend experienced with 3D printing was blown away with the quality of the builds right out of the box, and the ease of assembly and that I was able to print within minutes of assembly.
2. My experience with customer service was 4.5 stars. They did request that I email them directly rather than through Amazon, which is why I removed the 1/2 star. However, in alignment with Amazon's guidelines I kept communication through Amazon, and things went very smooth. Keeping in mind that this is a budget 3D printer (cheap Chinese parts), the main board SD card reader went out just after 2 months. Creality immediately gave me 2 options, 1. They could ship the new board from the factory, but that would take time, or 2. I could purchase a new one through Amazon (they provided a link to it) and they would reimburse me. They had reimbursed me the cost of the board within 24hrs of my purchase.
3. The removable magnetic bed is amazing and makes part removal extremely easy.
4. Availability of aftermarket support. Just search "Ender 3 Pro" on Youtube and you will come across tons of videos outlining everything from setup and use to upgrades.
5. Aftermarket add-ons, both by Creality and other companies. This machine has become extremely popular, and as a result upgraded motherboards, nozzles, displays, bed springs, etc. have become widely available and at respectable prices.
Cons
Keep the cost of this printer in mind while reading this part, regardless of the cons, this thing is a deal for what you are paying.
1. Bed springs are very flimsy, but they do perform their job. You can get upgraded springs for $9
2. The main board is cheap, and the stepper motors are a bit noisy from having lower end motor drivers. Creality sells their own silent board, and there are various other upgraded board out there all around $40.
3. All of the axes rely on a few bolts with tight spacing to keep them square. Tight spacing of supports can result in the frame coming out of square easily. There are multiple options out there in the way of braces to fix this though.
4. The z-axis threaded rod has no top-end support and is free-floating. This has pluses and minuses. It means the z-axis will not jam up, but it does mean that if something were ever to catch the rod it could easily damage it. There are 3-D bracket prints available on thingiverse which can be used to support the top of the rod, but time and precautions will need to be taken to ensure proper installation to prevent binding.
Conclusion:
I would easily purchase this printer in retrospect. I have recommended it to various friends as well.
Top reviews from other countries
As recommended we watched some specific channels on YT for assembly. At first I couldn't get my husband to listen to the videos, he wanted to go by the instructions that came with the machine. I can understand that, but with many in the comments saying not to go by the instructions, I wanted to see why.
We found that the arm that the extruder goes along wasn't reaching the board enough. My husband took it apart numerous times trying to adjust it and it wasn't working, it was the same each time.
Finally I saw a video where someone removed the little nub that's on the "z-axis limit switch". Here's a picture of what I'm talking about. It's near the end with holes only. It sticks out a little bit. https://spool3d.ca/creality-z-axis-limit-switch-kit/
Once we took of that little bit of nub that was sticking out past the "board" we were able to move it down the side piece of the machine and the arm with the extruder could also move down and was not able to be adjusted to it touching the board when level. This was a huge relief, but we wish we would have known sooner..
If you're using a glass bed, than that nubbin is perfectly fine to keep as is. The glass bed is very thick compared to the magnetic one that came with the Ender 3 pro I purchased.
I recommend the glass bed if you're getting this machine. Just make sure to level it carefully. I scratched my new glass bed when levelling and not happy about it. It's fine though. Just an FYI.
When you get the glass bed, you will need to change temps. I've found that 95 for the bed and 205 for the nozzle have worked well. I'm outside under a gazebo in the wind so the temps fluctuate. I've had some things pull off the bed when changing the bed temp lower after 5 or more layers. I've had it pull up off the bed when almost complete and not sure why other than the temp needs to be higher to keep it "melted" to the bed.
This is definitely a tricky machine full of trial and error but I think most things in life are. Just relax, don't have high hopes at first. Play around with settings. Test with free models. Thingiverse is great! Have fun with the machine as you learn it.
PLA filament is what I've been using so far. I'm getting ready to test some silk filament soon. I can't wait to get better at printing and make some amazing things in Blender. (Blender is free by the way. Get it and start designing cool stuff. Also, get the wacom graphics tablet, it's a must have when using Blender. A mouse just won't do the job.)
Good:
- decent price for the allowable print dimensions
- prints comes out very good (a high 3) at stock (assuming you take the time to build and tune it properly, with some tools like a square, level and lithium grease. If you don't know what they are google them)
- all items ( hardware and software) are open source and there are tons of YouTube videos from teaching tech, and others to show you what to do if you are stuck
- delivery from amazon is fast, I mean really fast
- a brand name power supply so you know you won't burn the house down
- magnetic bed is a nice touch, I don't need to use a lot of force get the pieces off the print bed
- it has the thermal runaway detection out of the box ( I have firmware 1.1.6.2). If you want to test, use a phone adapter to power the machine from the usb port so you don't burn down the house
- easy to upgrade, there are so many 3rd party parts out there and it is open source. If you are a tinker or an engineer that have some background and don't mind the cost, you can upgrade this to become a beautiful machine.
Bad:
Cheap parts
- the bolts are very cheap and I stripped the M4 bolt on the tensioning block. I need to wait out the COVID 19 before going to home Depot to replace it.
- the plastic extruder is going to be gone in a month or some with my usage.
- missing some common parts, you will need to go to thingiverse to download and print (i.e the bracket for the extruder so filament don't touch the vertical screw rod, the knot on the extruder...)
- be very careful with the cable and make sure the yellow plug to the control board is very tight fit. If not send the machine back with the amount of power the machine use, it is a fire hazard.
Ugly
- use a level when you assembly the gantry!!! otherwise good luck with trying to print anything decent. It is common sense to most builder out there but I haven't seen a single YouTuber or manual mentioning this
- the bed springs really really suck. Please spent some extra money to get the stiffer ones. Unless you want to tune your machine for every single or half a build. It is ashamed that creality can't spend an extra 50 cents more on each spring. The cost gets even lower when they buy en mass.
- it is LOUD, heartbreaking LOUD due to the cheap stepper control board. They have a newer silent version out (with TMC2209 drivers ) but this is a board 3 versions behind even through the firmware is the latest
- the printer quality gets affected with the cheap control board and the steppers vibranta the machine like crazy. The print could be a 4 or higher for a FDM machine once you have some upgrade, extruder, better spring and a decent control board.
Will I recommend it to a begineer of 3D printing?
Well It depends, if you have some mechanical engineering or machining background with some common sense and patience, it is a very good entry machine but still don't buy and wait for the V2 version coming out in July 2020. They give you the silent control board as far as their website said. Due to this I can't recommend this machine when I know a newer better version cost about the same is coming out.
If you just want it to work out of the box as a toy or work related, HELL NO, go and buy anoyhwr brand like PRUSA instead, the extra cost is worth it.
Finally, use your brain and don't think while listening to all the YouTubers that tells you to mod the machine right away. Understand the machine first before spending extras on stuff you don't need. They have pay support and/or getting free stuffs from companies to make a living. You and I don't and have a family to feed on top of buy addons to this machine.
Also understand the system and your intent before make changes. It may make it worse if you don't know what you are doing. For example, I know what upgrades I needed (A raspberry Pi 4 with octoprint and an open source control board with better driver chips). That is because I have a mechanical engineering background concentrate on CNC machining and control, and I will be using this machine to test out new control algorithm I wrote.

The printer assembly instructions are kind of confusing and caused me to do a couple things wrong that i rectified immediately. I resorted to the CHEP tutorial on youtube. GO ON YOUTUBE!
Once it was assembled and the bed leveled. I loaded it with the provided Dog .stl and the little dog came out great. I was excited!!! I designed a few things and everything I designed or got online failed or looked unsastifactory and I didnt understand why. Investigated and could only find that the Bowden tube was being damaged externally by the plastic collar of the brass fitting.(PICTURE 1). I live in the countryside and cant just get a PTFE tube anywhere. This forced me to convert the printer to a hybrid Direct Drive setup in order to to keep using my 3 week old Ender 3 Pro.
The other complaint is the heated bed is Warped making it difficult to do any larger prints.
I want to really make sure that I knew what this printer can do and how it is limited before I did my review.
After the direct drive conversion I can't get a smooth finish on my prints due to ringing. It cannot be removed until I can afford to build an Octopi.
NOT FOR BEGINERS!!!
I did manage a few good prints here and there to keep me happy. But I have spent more time leveling, calibrating, failing and using the machine to mend its own manufacturing flaws.
The Bowden tube setup is junk. In my opinion its just a garbage material as you can see in the photos.
I'm happy with what I have made the printer and will continue to get it up to my standards. I cant recommend it to those who just want something that works. It was a lot of work as well and will continue to be.

Après quelques impressions de test, j'ai constaté un défaut au niveau du plateau d'impression. Il était déformé et rendait vraiment très difficile les impressions de grandes tailles et larges. Le service après-vente à été super réactif et suite a quelques tests et vérifications rapides, ils ont réexpédiés un nouveau plateau pour remplacer l'original défectueux. Livraison rapide, procédure très simple. Une fois la déception passée, je ne regrette absolument pas mon achat.

print quality was honestly great, was better then i was expecting, at least from the sample dog they included (my phone will not focus on the white pla used in the print so no proof on this, since i have only printed the test dog i will update this if its terrible on other prints but i don't think it will be.
NEGATIVES. ok so this section is the good one its what everyone looking at reviews wants to see. So its not a loud device... but it is not silent either. if you live in a house or a place where you don't have immediate neighbors like in a apartment situation, its a non issue, But if your in a apartment and don't hate your neighbors do everyone a favor and buy a upgraded mainborad with quieter drivers. The sound is quieter then a old dot matrix printer by a long shot but the high pitched whines cut through the paper thin insulation in my place like nothing.
The only other negative i really have right now since i have only done one print is the included sample filament is not on a spool, so it ended up springing everywhere and i had to babysit the entire print to make sure it finished properly, since i had no clue what i was doing someone who is more experienced might know how to deal with that better then i did.
So in conclusion, great printer, just with they would have spent a bit more on the components on the mainboard to make it quieter out of the box. And maybe put a small sample roll on some type of spool.
