Bambu Lab overtakes Creality as the world's top-selling budget 3D printer brand — resurgence in 3D printer market fueled by budget options

No surprise there. The technology is just fantastic. Creality had (has?) a reputation for being a tinkerer's brand. I started with an Ender 3 Pro, and you could truly mod it in any way to do anything you could possibly think of. Then I got tired of tweaking and calibrating and wanted something that

First layer, you gotta be kidding me

Similar experience here, longtime Creality tinkerer, I have a modded CR-10 and and Ender 3. I recently picked up a P1S combo for Black Friday and the level of ‘just hit print’ is a welcome change. The only “mods” I foresee are some dust covers and waste chute.

Is it over?

Wtf happened here? And this is most definitely fixable. It would definitely be easier if it was one of the OG creality machines such as Ender 3 V1 or CR 10, but at least from here it looks like it's mostly just bent metal. And who says it has to stay original? That broken top piece for example, if y

Klipper printer from scratch

Why are you cloning an Ender 3? Don't take this the wrong way, I love my Ender 3, but that's quite an old design by now and it's also one of the most copied designs. I feel like something more similar to the Ender 5 might be better suited to take advantage of klipper's features. A Voron style would

Thinking of Switching from Bambu Labs to Creality – Worth It?

Absolutely, anytime. Creality is the real 3D printer experience, you will get to know it inside out while happily tinkering with it. I've been doing nothing but printing calibration cubes for three days. But to answer your questions: You can't put a pricetag on such an experience, typical Bambuhead

Ender 3 Misconception

Ya the issue mainly is people dont want to tinker and tune when they buy a product. Especially when they see printers now like bambu which basically just work perfect out of the box. You also pay for that pleasure. Ive had friends ask me if they should get into 3d printing or should they get an ende

What needs to be done to use Ender 3v2 stably.

My Ender 3v2 has been working pretty flawlessly and consistent over the last 3 years I had it. Upgrades I made directly out of the box: Auto Bed Leveling usingthe CR Touch upgrade from Creality replaced the bed leveling springs with silicone washers (also from Creality) replaced the plastic filament

What are the must-haves upgrades for the Ender 3?

First step is to look up the pricing of a Bambu Lab A1 in your local currency. IMO, the target cost should be 50% of that or less (preferably much less). It's not 2019 any more and we're not competing against wildly overpriced Prusa MK3's. The amount of printer and ecosystem $300 buys these days is

Which 3D printer should I get for my little brother? Huge community + lots of YouTube tutorials preferred!

Look at creality K1’s , open source, quite a good community, lots of mods to make it evolve … Ender 3s like the V2 are also really good, but more for the enthusiasts / thinkers out there, the community is huge, the mod list is literally endless , it’s open source so there is that , but it’s less « p
