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:

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.

Quote from screwyluie :
Enders are decent machines, especially for the price. However remember that 3d printers are a function of 'time vs money'... more so than most products. If you spend less money, you'll spend more time getting it to work well, if you spend more money you'll spend less time getting it to work well.

yes there are exceptions to every rule (I see you sitting in your chair just waiting to argue with everyone) but this 'time vs money' metric is very evident in the 3d printer ecosystem.

consider what you have more of, or what you value least, your time or your money. Whatever machine you choose find the communities associated with it and reach out, lean on others for guidance.
So which you recommend for either case?

Serious question. How does "clone" mean made from OEM parts in the same OEM factory?

Is this 3D printer lingo or something that is common that I'm not aware.

Code is invalid. At $155 is I worth getting for a first printer or wait for a better deal to be had? I'd like to keep my first purchase under $200.

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.
Thanks for posting this, it turns out this is a top beginner option that is an improvement on the V2 in some ways.

The Aquila from Voxelab that someone else posted is a better option. It does go on sale to as low as $160, but at $180 currently, still a great deal.

Wow, you'll notice your comment is the third time someones asked, and yet it originates from the same place of stupidity.

Its a "re-badge" sorry, "Clone" taxed you too much in the grey matter.
I just confirmed with Voxelab that it is a clone, but it does *NOT* use the same exact parts. Next time, ask questions before falsely assuming you know what you are talking about. Hell, just looking at the 2 models you can tell there is different hardware being used.
