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.

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

I know this isn't what your asking for, but for what it's worth.... I tried every leveling "trick" in the book with my original Ender. I even mounted a dial caliper to the print head and leveled that way to be SUPER precise. I only quit having adhesion issues when: I upgraded my bed with a good piec

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

My fault. I assumed when you said in the description that "I just installed a new hot end on my Ender V3" you meant an Ender V3. How silly of me. You also STILL bought the wrong hotend. Ender 3 V2 Neo is different. Creality doesn't help by being unimaginative in their naming scheme

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

To be fair, you have to have a very high IQ to understand the Creality Enders 3V2. The firmware is extremely subtle, and without a solid grasp of theoretical physics most of the features will go over a typical Bambu owner's head. There's also the Enders nihilistic outlook, which is deftly woven into

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

I modded an ender 3 so much I don't think it could be branded Creality Now I have a P1S.
