CrealityEnder 3 S1 3D Printer with Direct Drive Extruder CR Touch Auto Leveling High Precision Double Z-axis Screw Silent Board Printing Size 8.6X8.6X10.6in, Upgrade Ender 3 V2 for Beginners

I love this printer. Its very fast and produced very clean prints. Relatively quiet compared to other printers I have used in the past. The only problem I had setting it up was there is a tiny switch for 120 volts or 220 volts coming from the manufacturer it was set to 220. It would turn on but not work right. This was not covered in the set up guide but once you get padt that it is smooth sailing. Self levels quickly. Has great adhesion haven't needed the old glue stick.

This was my first 3d printer and all seemed very well at first. I was printing some smaller items from plans I got offline and some smaller items I designed. After about 3 weeks when I started printing anything over 4x4 I ran into issue after issue. The print head would miss ten lines halfway through and be printing I. The air. Build plate after build plate adhesion issue then finally I got a good adhesion and left my printer for about an hour in a 13 hour build. I came back and checked and the printer had printed all over itself and grabbed the print off the hotbed. I have watched endless videos on trying to resolve the issues I had with the machine. At this point it was a week over the 30 day return window so there is no help from Amazon and Creality. I have been on an email chain with them for a month. After the machine printed over itself it basically destroyed every component on the machine and support is having me switch out a component at a time. Next up was the fan on the print head which I asked how to verify and am still waiting on a response a week later. DO NOT BUY. The automatic spheghetti detection does not work and customer support will string you on forever. I have a 300 - 500 dollar investment if you include the camera, enclosure, and filament box that is no better than a paperweight and customer support seems more interested in NOT fixing your issues

The Ender 3D S1 works very well but needs some bed leveling before starting to use it, I recommend changing the original bed mat for the Creality gold mat, that will make better printing. The price is good. I use the Cura slicer works better than the Creality slicer. The only issue I can't connect via USB to the Microsoft Surface Pro 11.

I wanted to upgrade from a Monoprice Maker Select V2 for a while and finally decided on the Ender 3 S1 because of the popularity of the Ender 3 series and the upgraded features of the S1. I don’t do a lot of printing so I didn’t need to go with a more expensive version.Assembly was pretty easy but I did run into a couple quality issues after it was assembled. First, the bed was really wobbly. Luckily I was able to get to both the front and back offset spacers without having to disassemble the bed. Second, the bracket mounting the nozzle assembly to the gantry seems to be bent which caused the retracted CR touch to drag on the bed. I googled it and this is a common problem with the S1 series. Most people said they bent the bracket, but my (easier) solution was to put a washer on each of the lower screws between the nozzle assembly and the bracket to tilt the nozzle assembly and raise the CR touch.I just got the printer today so I haven’t had much time to use it, but my first print was better than my old printer and the steppers are much quieter than my old printer.

Such a great printer. Easy to setup for a beginner. Easy to use from computer or phone app. I put it together and started printing on the same day. Perfect beginners printer. I had a different one a long time ago and struggled with bed leveling. This one does it automatically. Print quality is amazing. Worth the value for how much it is. I suggest installing the phone app to get access to all sorts of models with quick printing. I would also suggest buying the Nebula camera so you can watch your printer from the app.

I have wanted a 3D pritner for a long time now and finally after talking to many people, watching YouTube videos and doing a ton of reading up on models suggested for beginners, I chose this one and could not be more pleased with the ease of set up, the screen is easy to understand and use as is the software.These are a couple of the first things I built with the machine and I am pretty pleased with the end product. Looking forward to getting more filament to try out with it, I have only had it a week and so far zero complaints!

I recently purchased the Ender 3 V3 KE 3D Printer with high hopes, but unfortunately, my experience was disappointing. Here’s my review:Initial Setup IssuesUpon receiving the printer and plugging it in, I encountered an error with the machine during setup. This issue prevented me from proceeding with calibration and testing. Despite troubleshooting attempts, I couldn’t resolve the error on my own.Inconvenience of ReturningDue to the persistent error, I had to ship the printer back to the manufacturer for repairs or replacement. This process was inconvenient and added delays to my plans for using the printer. While I appreciate the option to return faulty products, the hassle of shipping and waiting for resolution was frustrating.Expectation vs. RealityI had high expectations for the Ender 3 V3 KE, especially with its advertised high-speed capabilities and auto-leveling feature. However, the initial technical glitch left me unable to fully experience these promised functionalities.Customer Support ExperienceAlthough I encountered issues, I must note that the customer support team was responsive and helpful throughout the return process. They provided clear instructions for returning the printer and promptly initiated the refund or replacement procedure.ConclusionIn conclusion, my experience with the Ender 3 V3 KE 3D Printer was marred by an initial setup error that prevented me from using the machine. While the customer support was commendable, the inconvenience of returning the printer and the disappointment of not being able to test its features as advertised lead me to give it a 2-star rating.

The first printer delivered to me had damage from shipping, however I just got a replacement unit and after playing around with it for a few days I’d say this is by far the best beginners friendly machine whilst still being able to produce top notch prints!

la compre en descuento y me salio en $4417 es muy fácil de montar y la calidad de impresión es muy buena. esta es mi segunda S1 y si en algún momento la vuelvo a agarrar en descuento seguramente la volvería a comprar. xq no me ah fallado nunca. eso si, debes darle mantenimiento como a cualquier otro aparato mecánico.

Comme promiere imprimante 3D j’aime bien, facile d’utilisation, très bien expliquer pour le montage, l’ajustement du plateau dois se faire aux 3-4 pièces, j’apprécie vraiment, bonne qualité

Es mi primera impresora y estoy encantado, es muy fácil de armar y de mucha calidad.

I ordered this 3d printer after otdering abs as a beginner I didn't know that it not easy to start with it but i tried ao many times but it doesn't stick to the bed i found that it needs more heat to the bed now with this printer I can print ABS without issues maybe ill buy enclosure for bug parts.Secondly this printer doesn't need upgrading it has lights drawer a powerful extruder more silent than the first one I got.I highly recommend getting it.
