Best entry to 3D printing printer. I've printed over 100 prints near flawlessly with no upgrades at all. Learn to print before adding in all the fancy bells and whistles.
Direct link to the printer product page so you can check stock level in your store.

Based on threads from past deals, some people have issues getting a coupon using a VoIP number and I believe with Mint wireless as well.

Also there usually is a $10 coupon inside the box for Inland filament. The Inland filament is around $20 so it's a pretty good deal. The box does come with a little bit of filament to print out a few samples but it's a good idea to pickup a roll to get started.

This is a very mod friendly printer with a large community. Some people will shit on the printer but if you're just starting out you can't beat a $100 printer that has very decent print quality. If you wanted, you can upgrade a lot of the components and make the print quality even better. This doesn't come with a silent board, just FYI.
I bought this earlier in the year for the same price. It's fun and cool to tinker, but something was always off/broken/needed upgrading/etc.

The plate was very hard to level completely. Mine had a high spot. Glass bed was only slightly better. The z axis sags. You can upgrade to dual z motor. The firmware doesn't support pausing (to change colors or add magnets), you can update it (which isn't hard but not simple).

I ended up buying a anycubic vyper which is very similar to this printer but with all of the upgrades on it already ($300). I'm going to just sell my ender and I'm guessing I can get my $100 back on FB.

It's not a bad printer, but it'll never really be plug and play. After every few prints, something will end up needing calibration and it's a lot of time trying to figure out what/why/how

Hi all! Never had a 3d printer but always wanted one. I don't want to spend every waking hour tinkering though. I want to learn, but I want it to work without constant fuss. So, question is: This one (Ender 3 Pro) for $100 (Microcenter is a little over a half hour drive for me) or the Anycubic Mega X for $169 after coupon?

https://slickdeals.net/f/15810250-anycubic-mega-x-3d-printer-202-free-shipping?

Thanks for any guidance!
Ender 3 pro is a mature platform. The only upgrade is bed springs. Optional upgrade is dual texture bed sheets and Capricorn tube.

Anyone recommending a glass bed rather than PEI just shot their credibility. Especially to someone new to 3D printing, glass sucks.
Glass are better. Way better. At high bed temperature 80c or higher, the magnetic bed tak starts damage degraded. Glass don't have this problems. Glass are way better at printing high temperature.

Anyone having adhesion issues printing PLA or PETG certainly isn't going to use glass for ABS or higher.
