Question 1

Seriously how difficult is the build?

Accepted Answer

It is very straightforward, but the downloadable PDF instructions leave a lot to be desired. I highly recommend using the top-rated "how to build" video, along with the PDF. Here is a link to that video:

The video contains a huge number of hints which, having now completed my first 3D print, which was 100% successful, I can now fully appreciate. The video helps you get everything square, and makes sure that many minor adjustments which were not done perfectly at the factory, are tweaked just right.

Question 2

Hi. Purchasing for my young granddaughter. will I need to purchase anything else with the unit in order to use it christmas day?

Accepted Answer

this is probably a little late but a 3d printer (like this one) is not for little kids there are parts that get hot enough to burn you badly and you need some moderate knowledge on how to work a computer. in conclusion, not a good choice for young children (maybe 12 and older)

Question 3

I am looking to purchase a 3D printer as a gift for a beginner. Does anyone have any recommendations?  Thank you

Accepted Answer

My first printer was a Delta FLSun Q5.  I wanted another printer so I bought the Ender 3.  After using the Ender 3, I strongly recommend the Q5 over this.  It is about $120 more but it has more features and is very user friendly compared to the Ender 3

Question 4

Does the creality ender 3 has the dual extruders like the bibo 3d printer?

Accepted Answer

No, but. You could upgrade it if you have the expertise
