Ender 3 Pro

02Kitch
02Kitch over 2 years ago

So tired of screwing around with this printer. First off, head was rubbish, so new head, head better.

blow head element, get new element, goes after 2 weeks, replace again.

figure the new E3 board, NFG myself of the repair guy cant find firmware. get the shits.

buy a 4.2.7 board, install, X axis not triggering switch, check all wiring, all is ok. showing ender 3 not pro, go to upgrade, find file, no luck installing through usb slot.

turning into 1 *** way to pass my time and to make broken things.

    The Ender 3 Pro is always sold as being a great "entry" 3d printer, but really it's a tinkerer's toy that requires a lot of tweaking to get 'right' and to get 'working. Which a lot of people see as a plus…

    Yes, I agree with colporteur I personally don't like any of the 3D printers with a moving bed. (realign, realign) and you must repeat this prayer three times: Dear God of the computer, I beseech you, grant…

    Basically, a normal experience with low end 3D printers, I had similar experiences like 10 years ago with a DIY 3D printer, it's a headache but definitely you can enjoy it. You need to take a break then…

    Except they start at $200 and go rapidly up from there. Frowning2Thumbsdown  How do they get such high ratings on Amazon?

    When you buy a printer for $200 but spend $300 on setting it up, it does make me look for $500 printers instead.

    Unless the $300 is equivalent to learning how to use and maintain them in less time, then it's a win-win.

    Sounds like something has changed because back in 2018 it was 'biggest bang for your buck' and 'just works'.
    http://scienceenvy.com/a-200-dollar-3d-printer-that-works/

    So much so, that it was 'sent one home to mum and dad and it just works there as well' sort of thing.

    However, if you don't look out for stuff like this:
    /members-area/personalblogs/b/nico-tewinkel-s-blog/posts/ender-3-pro-broken-extruder-arm

    then you could have a totally different experience.

    It will also likely depend on if you are buying the real deal or a counterfeit product.
