this is not true regarding tweaks out the box. it prints perfect out the box if you know what you are doing. i sell prints online and have a few e3 pros and other more expensive printers.

this does require more tinkering AFTER you use it a good few hours. but out the box, if you can't get a smooth print, i guarantee its user error or bad copy.. took a normal amount of time to calibrate with paper.

i have the cr touch on the s1 printer and theres no difference...its not auto leveling.


reasons to buy an ender are the endless amount of support, mods, and community.

after 2 years i am getting rid of these because the maintenance time adds up compared to next gen printers like the bambu.

btw this. deal came out over 2 years ago. a better value is the recent s1 deal for $200 that may still be active.

for $50 I'd jump into the world of 3D Printing - was there some crazy deal going on at some point?

I really hate that the closest microcenter is 300 miles away.

Is this a significant upgrade over the monoprice joule? I think it's essentially a clone of this printer.

Other than a few very minor differences, they are essentially the same.

edit: I picked up this deal a couple weeks ago.

Thanks. I paid net $50 for the joule, great results so far, will stick with it.

Big improvement over the pro. I would say more nice things, but looks like they still have the plastic extruded arm that is very prone to failure and needing a replacement. Bed leveling is also a really nice quality of life feature that's missing, but isn't that big of a deal.

Cura and Prusa Slicer have good support for these printers.

I have this printer, it's a good basic 3d printer, but expect to have to make a lot of tweaks and adjustments to get it to work smoothly. I had to buy a new build plate right away because the one it with had some warping. Then also bought a CR touch to do auto leveling. Also, small things should be upgraded like the bed springs, and then some fans, I upgraded the power supply fan to a noctua fan and that reduced noise a lot.

Bed leveling has gotten much easier if you update to a third party "Professional" firmware.

Also you can use klipper, through a raspberry pi or similar device, but on the Ender 3 V2 the display isn't supported, so you'd have to just use the web interface or buy a separate display.

I got this during the last deal offering. Well worth it. I used this thing all the time and developed a love for 3D printing.
If you're already a microcenter member, use a friend's number or a relative. The coupon arrives via text. I had them forward the text to me and used it that way. The cashiers don't check to confirm if you're an existing member or not, they just scan

I bought it from Monoprice for $80 when they were clearing them out. One of the belts snapped while following the instructions to put it together so they refunded me $30.
