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 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!

This bag of issues is an awful attempt at a 3-D printer. There is no fun to be had with this machine. The build quality is poor nothing but issues from the start. The user interface is even also incredibly poor. I’m quite a technically minded person and have put lots of effort into trying to make this printer work better and ultimately after less than 2 weeks with it I’ve binned it because I can’t even be bothered with wasting more energy on this thing by returning it.

I researched this printer for quite a few weeks, before taking the plunge ... watching endless YouTube channels (CHEP, Teaching Tech, Just Vlad, Nexi Tech) ... it was those guys that helped make the decision to buy the Ender 3 ...Boy what a fantastic printer ... the first prints came out better than I expected ... very smooth and better than some of the YouTube channels efforts ...This is a no brainer 3D Printer, at this price ... it's the best bit of Tech I've bought in years ... I am now making the classic 'LACK Enclosure' for it ...The filament I bought, at the same time, was the SUNLU 3D Printer Filament (Twin Pack) PLA+ 2KG (Black-White), 1.75mm ... this filament went out of stock for quite some time but I just checked again (April 2019) and it's back in stock ...MY ENDER 3 NOTES:The Sunlu filament:With the above Filament, I used 60Deg 'C' for the Bed Temp ... and 212 Deg 'C' for the Hot End ... I used this setup for all my prints and seems to work great ...THE ORIGINAL ENDER 3 FIBERGLASS BED:The removable (not genuine) "Buildtak" bed plate (with fiberglass bottom) was a bit of a devil to get a proper bonded print evenly ... it worked OK after a few tries ... it still didn't seem to want to bond on certain parts of the bed ... there were spots it didn't like to stick to ... I even tried Pritt Stick ... that seemed to work but what a mess! ...NEW BED:After watching a few more videos, I noticed that a lot of people were printing on GLASS ... so I investigated and found a great supplier, on the Bay (seller: gcc-systems) ... this type of bed was a 'Mirrored Glass Tile' but cut to Ender 3 bed size, 220x220mm (they cope for other printers too) ... it cost about £14 and damn was it worth it ... the official Ender 3 glass base is £28 (ish) ... this new glass bed just clips on as before, with 4 small bulldog clips ...You do not need to prime the base with hair spray, Pritt stick or any other product, in order to get good adhesion ... the glass just needs to be cleaned properly ... after it cools down you start to hear little noises as the print starts to release itself ... so much easier to get prints off glass ... you get a nice silky smooth underside too ...Glass Bed Pre-Print Washing Tip:The thing I was doing wrong, with cleaning the glass bed, was using de-greasing agents like Isopropyl (alcohol), etc ... no, no ,no, and no! ... these agents actually leave a 'very fine' film of 'something' and so prevents the filament adhering to the glass ... even if they say smear free there is still a deposit left behind ...I discovered that you only have to wash the glass thoroughly with washing up liquid and dry it off with a kitchen paper towel ... do not touch the clean surface afterwards (use the corners) ... but to see if it is clean enough you need to rub your fingers over the glass while washing it, so you get that squeaky feeling/noise ... then you know you're done ... that's all you need to do ... and BAM! with the first print the filament stuck like glue, everywhere it printed ... success! ...After I had done all of the above, I recently watched CHEP's video (Older ENDER 3 vs New ENDER 3 - 3D Printer Review/Comparison) ... he experimented with 2 x Ender 3 printers (from different suppliers) and he had the same issue with the Buildtak fiberglass plate ... he said it was actually the fiberglass base that had blind spots ... so it's possible it's not as level as the glass bed ...GENERAL TIPS:1. To get the bed just right and level and without any slack (the main issue for wobbly prints) watch Just Vlad's 'Creality Ender 3 Pro - 3D printer - Unbox & Setup' as he is the only one, that I noticed, who shows you how to set the slack up on the slotted 'V' runners ...2. To make the printer even quieter I cut a few thick square blocks, from the grey packing material and put them at each end, under the base supports ... damn if this doesn't reduce the noise by a ton! ...I have attached some photos of the first set of prints I did ... all downloaded from Thingiverse ...If you're just starting out or thinking of getting a 3D printer then this puppy will do you proud ...
