This is dumbest thing I read today. Clone doesn't mean they fabricated new parts based off of Creality. Clone means they are literally built from the same OEM parts from the same OEM factory.

Please reply even though you factually did not know this. I seriously want to know why you are on a deal forum to not save people money.

P.S. Im an Ender 3 V2 user, but I don't adhere to company loyalty so I will state the truth and not base my replies off, "feelings".

EDIT: P.S.... Sainsmart Amazon is a B on FakeSpot and the link I posted is an A.

So a clone with 50 reviews? BTW, saying 'this is the only thing people should look at' is the cornerstone of an opinion you should run away from.

Honestly I'd have to question the quality of every component, just because they are "cloned" does not mean they are of comparable quality. Could be great though...could be crap. Searching "Voxelab" the most reviews I can find on Amazon is 200 which is rather low. Again, not saying I know anything about the quality but this NON-clone SainSmart has a higher rating and more reviews:
https://www.amazon.com/SainSmart-...B07DGV2L8Z .

By your own logic the SainSmart is the clear winner.

This is a resin printer. Besides it not having the ability to print models as large as this or any Ender. It also is an entirely different technology behind it.

Resin is TOXIC.

I would not buy this for just any kid. The kid needs to have demonstrated maturity and respect to be able to safely handle resin printing. Fumes can damage your lungs and just touching the uncured resin (while its a liquid) on to bare skin can cause chemical burns.

Resin models require them to be washed with iso-propyl alcohol after printing and its extremely recommended to have a device to further "cure" them to make sure all resin absolutely is hardened.

If they still seems fine to you then yes, Elegoo Mars 2 is a great first resin printer.

First time purchasing 3d printer. Is it worth it? What can I do with it? Though I am well averse with computers and not sure what can I do with these. Never got into it

This is the only beginner printer people should look at. Its an Ender 3 Pro clone with the upgrades that comes with a V2.

And its NOT some unknown brand of questionable quality. Voxelab in a subsidary of Flashforge, an completely respectable brand of mid and upper market self contained 3D Printers.

Seriously... read the reviews, watch the YouTube videos. Don't buy this here or wait for a Creality deal. Absolutely no need.
Pretty bad clone if it's missing abl

So I ordered a Prusa mini a week ago but it doesn't ship for 10 weeks. That one has auto bed leveling. Just wondering if I should get this. That thing is $450 with shipping and tax. New to 3d printing, short on time. I've designed 5 things with sketchup and am moving to blender or fusion 360 next.
If you're comfortable with things like flashing firmware and low voltage wiring, you can add a bed leveling sensor for less than $15. I bought this Geetech 3D Touch sensor [ebay.com] two years ago and added it to my Ender 3. It took some tinkering to get it dialed in, but I haven't had to do anything with it since and it's worked great.

I'm not familiar with the Prusa machine but I've heard they are pretty much dialed in from the factory, so if your short on time, the Prusa might be a better option for you.

The v2 that you said you gave a direct clone of. It has abl. Your "clone" does not.

I can confirm I bought the voxelab aquila a couple weeks ago and it's awesome seems to have none of the issues that the ender 3 v2 has.
Link? I see a couple options on amazon and not sure the difference.

In the world of hobbyist 3d printers, this is a pretty normal size - 300mm would be considered large.
To each there own, but most people don't need something that big. I'd argue of they don't know if they do it not, they probably don't (bigger printers come with bigger challenges)

No it doesnt. ABL is an uograde that requires additional sensors and 3td party firmware.

fark you smoking?

He said Ender-3 Pro clone, with V2 features. I think you're thinking cr-6?

Good printer at a solid price for anyone looking to get into 3D printing. If you want a slightly more premium version, wait for a deal on the Ender 3 v2, otherwise you will be plenty happy with this deal
what's the benefit of a more expensive version?
