For the last few years I have been struggling with a cheap i3 clone printer, I have had no end of problems and finally I decided to bite the bullet and purchase the new Ender 3 V2.From the moment you open the box this feels like a slick professional product, it is well packed and includes everything you need to get started, even a small amount of filament (PLA I assume). The instructions are readable and simple to follow.The printer requires some assemble but nothing like by last one, all the cabling is done and just needs to be plugged in the right holes, the most fiddly part is the hot end belt but even that just needs patience, to be fair I have bought children's toys that were more difficult to assemble so just take your time and make sure everything is lined up and tight, check every screw even the ones fitted in the factory (30minutes to an hour should see you ready to print).As soon as I had it assembled I levelled the bed with a piece of paper and loaded the supplied SD card, and set it printing the first model, I was amazed to see that it worked immediately, the filament stuck to the bed and the entire model printed without a problem, in fact the print quality was soo much better than I could have imagined, this really shows up the failings of my other cheap printer.Setting up Octoprint was very easy on my Raspberry Pi, although I did have to purchase a Pi Camera but it only cost about £10 delivered so was well worth it. Octoprint displays an error with the V2 but it is simply fixed by using the recommended plugin to ensure that temperatures are reported correctly.So my first impression of this printer is that it seems to be a great printer for the price, but would I recommend it to others? The answer is a resounding Yes, if you want to get into 3D printing then this is a great place to start and at under £300 it gives impressive results and won't break the bank.If like me you are tempted to spend less and buy a self build cheap clone kit then please learn from my mistakes and don't waste your money. My old printer will now be stripped for parts to be used in other projects.

Excellent 3d printer, not too hard to construct and creality give your everything needed to get started quickly.The included sd card and reader has the designs for a scraper pre loaded so it is easy to try out with the smallish included white filament.Full of useful guides and links to the site for any more support. At this price, I can only say it is all a beginner to 3d printing needs and more!

I had this product recommended by a trusted friend that has had one for a couple of years.There are a couple of niggles that don't have lasting effect.The first is that the instructions for assembly are fairly basic and not the easiest to follow. There are a whole collection of YouTube videos on the subject, I recommend you watch them.The second is the product is essentially unfinished. There are a number of things that you are advised to print and attach to the printer to improve reliability.The print quality is excellent for the price point, the software is easy to use, it is reasonably quiet Following reading what there is online, I thought I had the noise equivalent of a Jack Hammer coming to my home. While I wouldn't want to sleep or watch TV in the same room as it, it cannot be heard outside the room it's in and I've currently got the radio on while printing and typing this and can clearly hear the radio.The output, printed with reasonable quality PLA is sturdy, durable and aesthetically pleasing, although on the default settings there is some patterning caused by the printing method.I am new to 3D printing so cannot compare with other products but this has lived up to, and exceeded, expectations.Be sure to claim your free glass bed with the special offer!

Excellent printer. Seems to work best with pla. Any ABS printing of and size seems to come apart due to warping - and I’ve tried all the tricks to prevent!Missing the 5th star on review due to the bed material/robustness. There is too fine a line balancing temperatures, z offset and other initial layer effecting settings when trying to get the print off the bed. There is always material ‘welded’ to the bed after. IPS, acetone, soapy water all tried - nothing works. I even upgraded the bed and gets the same.
