WOL 3D Ender 3 Model 2021, Original DIY 3D Printer with Resume Function and Easy to Assemble (Print Size: 220x220x250 mm, Black)

Wol3d did a great job safely shipping the parcel un-tampered and before estimated date. Creality's packaging was just impeccable, with every piece spot free. The box has everything you need to get started inclucing tools, few spare screws, some filament, and even a memory card and its usb converter. The card has a user manual, some gcodes, videos and slicer software. Assembling the printer was fun. Then I prepare it for first time usage and tested with a readymade gcode in the pen drive. The printer worked surprisingly good with factory settings. Working noise is very little. Print quality is great. There is a little bit of size issue (prints are 1~2% smaller than intended) but its normal and can be perfected with many methods. Have been testing it with small prints and no complaints so far. Super happy with this purchase.😇

It took 5 days for the delivery, packaging was average.. I assembled it myself with the instruction manual provided though it was bit confusing initially to understand.. After Assembly ender 3 worked perfectly.. :) One must spend time to learn the Printer setting/options from LCD menu & get used to it.. i would like to share my experience which may find helpful if you are new to 3D printing world, like me. 1. Packaging List: - Pls verify box contain all the items listed in the instruction manual. 2. Assembly: - Follow the assembly instructions provided in the manual or follow youtube videos. - Spend little extra time in fixing the Z-Axis rail carefully. 3. Tuning - Bed Leveling: - Check the stability of the Aluminium printing bed/platform by just moving it up/down slightly. Use the provided spanners to tighten the screws underneath. - Set the printer X,Y,Z axis to Auto Home from LCD menu - Disable Steppers - Manually/From LCD menu, move the extruder over the bed at different positions & use the A4 sheet to level the bed using knobs. Tip:- Let the paper barely move between printing Nozzle & Printing bed. There shouldn’t be too much gap. Note: The aluminium platform comes with Ender 3 is not uniform, hence levelling will not be perfect especially at the centre of the bed. you can buy a glass plate of 23.5mm from local shop to fix this issue. 4. Tuning - Adhesion: - Bed levelling was not quite easy as the Aluminium bed plate was not uniform, So I bought a 23.5mm size “Frosted Glass Plate” from a local store & a FeviStick for better adhesion. - I do apply the Fevistick glue on the Glass plate uniformly on the printing area just before the printing is starter for better adhesion of initial layer & successful printing of objects. - It works perfect for me. Attached the pics. Update after 7 months: Works great, no issues so far.. "Resume Function" does really work great with the recent versions.. Just go for it..

This is a starter or basic printer to start with. Good things was the printer was having cover over 230V leads, that is an upgrade i suppose, and assembly was not that great experience. Instructions are not so clear , better ask for help from someone who has already built or simply follow online youtube tutorials which are in detail with explainations. Rest all basic stuff, quality of the stock bed is pathetic already scratched as well as warped, Printing ABS is a mess. High temperature can't be handled that easily. Warping bed a common thing with ABS normal temperature. For PLA and simple prints this is okay , as you get to learn a lot about 3d printing. Motor drivers are pathetic they make hell of noise. Cable management is also clumsy they use thick gauge wired under nylon type material cover. They should have improved by now with their so called V3 to a strip as other printer have evolved. Or may be a better able management. there is no resume function that WORKS. Yes the printer asks to resume but sits idle and does not do anything, sometimes it automatically tries to print from start. God know how that is considered as resume ... clearly buy it to learn not to invest.

The printer has lot of issues. I mean a lot Print well only in day 1, then the issued started. 1. It always under extruded 2. The bed leveling knobs always had to be readjust with evert print. I bought the silicon ones and I got 3 small ones and a big one. 3. It's not silent at all 4. The Filament is literally stuck in the bowden tube and it's not allowing anything to pass through 5. I bought all the necessary upgrades to ,are it print well but still not use money waste 6. Gave for service they took 6k to fix it. It worked for 1 print and then it started giving same issues. I asked for replacement I dint get one, then I asked for refund they said it will be intiated once the item is returned, nobody came to pick. This is the respect they show towards the machine. Remember because of that machine you are making money. Horrible horrible experience and complete waste of money

The device is simple yet works like a charm. The price point at which this is available makes the overall package extremely good. I have a dislike though, mine had a faulty power supply unit right out of the box ( which i got replaced by WOL the very next day!). The QC seems to be have taken a back seat (only in my case or probably with every box that that they ship) either with WOL or Creality, and that i woulnt know. The power supply unit was having scratch marks and sorts. After the power unit swap, the printer works like a charm. I tried PLA and PETG, they both work well. A word of advice though, the device comes with short length sample PLA test print filament and that is absolute garbage. So, if you want see what this printer is capable of buy some good quality PLA filament along with the printer itself.

Some what difficult to assemble, works nice build quality overall found to be perfect for initial 3d printer learners. Print speed moderate, resume function not accurate.

Good printer but assembling and levelling is a bit difficult.

Writing review after assembly and first print. It is a great printer in this range. Easy to assemble and use. Bought it in 12,729rs and it's working like very smoothly. Silent working only fans noise. They will provide Everything you need to work with it. Power cable was provided in big size not normal one but you can use your own too. Print quality is also very great. overall awesome highly recommended for beginners.l

This is my first printer, very happy with it. Easy to build, took me a little over 2 hours, however I do recommend using the Creality Ender 3 assembly YouTube video in addition to the manual provided, so you can get better clarity. Print Quality: Printer has different settings, allowing quicker prints at lower resolution, and slower prints that achieve greater detail. See my image of the 3 prints lined up next to each other - they are LEFT (high quality print, took 40 minutes), CENTRE (mid-quality print, 30ish minutes), and RIGHT (lowest quality and quickest print at around 20-25 minutes). Very happy with the quality for a FDM printer, the steps aren't very noticeable on the small prints I've done. Effort-to-quality ratio is great. Would recommend resin if you want better than this at a low cost honestly. Adherence: Highly recommend a glue stick or hairspray or some prints just won't stick to the bed at all for printing. Will look into replacing the bed. Software needed: It wasn't made all that clear, but it does come with a hard drive that supplies a link to a slicer (a program which you'll need to print STLs). Another good free one is Cura. You may also need to source the drivers manually to connect the printer to your PC using a mini USB cable (cable not supplied). There's an SD card as well. Noise level: Definitely audible, but about as loud as a paper printer machine doing a print. For a longer duration of course. Ease of use: Once you wrap your head around the slicer program, small prints seem easy. You load up an STL and hit print. Some will need supports or adhesion rafts/brims, but those can be auto-generated for you in the slicer if the STL file doesn't come with them. I'm yet to try any bigger/more complex prints as I may want to replace the bed first. TLDR: Great beginner printer, great print quality, not too sharp a learning curve, would recommend to anyone looking to jump into 3D printing.

L'imprimante qui m'a été livrée avait un défaut de taille : son plateau chauffant ne pouvait pas être mis à niveau : il y avait toujours quoi que l'on fasse, et même en plaçant une plaque de verre de 4mm sur le plateau, un coin qui restait désespérément plus bas, de plusieurs mm, que les 3 autres coins. Avec 2 molettes de réglage (sur les 4 présentes sous le plateau) qui finissaient par sortir de leur vis en fin de procédure de réglage. Imaginez donc un plateau de travers, qui finit par ne tenir que sur 2 vis… C’est là-dessus que je me suis efforcé d’imprimer pendant plusieurs mois. Du coup, impossible d'imprimer sur plus d'un quart de la surface du plateau, parfois un tiers avec un peu de chance, pour des modèles de pas plus de 2 cm d'épaisseur. J'ai passé de longs mois à essayer de régler ce souci, avec l'aide de nombreuses personnes expérimentées, vérifié toutes les pièces une à une, tout démonté, tout remonté, tout calibré, acheté des pièces détachées pour essayer de régler le problème en remplaçant ou complétant certaines pièces : rien à faire. Problème d'autant plus gênant qu'il n'était visiblement pas très commenté sur le Net. En désespoir de cause, j'ai fait appel au vendeur. Après plusieurs semaines d'échanges par mail, malgré le fait qu'il m'ait demandé mail après mail de grosso modo tout démonter pièce par pièce (et bien sûr de photographier voire filmer chaque étape pour lui envoyer), et quelques demandes pour le moins hasardeuses, parfois sans lien apparent avec le problème, voire contradictoires (un coup le problème viendrait du fait que telle pièce est trop haute, plus tard le problème viendrait du fait qu'elle est trop basse. Plus tard encore cela viendrait d'une autre pièce. etc...), il a fini par en déduire que le problème viendrait d'une pièce qui n'avait visiblement aucun soucis apparent. Et me l'a remplacé, ce qui a, à ma grande surprise, résolu le soucis rencontré, alors même que personne n'avait pu identifier ni même envisager que le problème pourrait venir de là (barre de l'axe des Y à peine, mais alors à peine voilée). Il m'a également remplacé sans soucis un moteur qui avait lâché. Si j'ai été un peu refroidi par cette première expérience en impression 3D sur un imprimante défectueuse, j'ai été agréablement surpris par la qualité du SAV. Chose assez rare pour être signalé et qui justifie amplement mon appréciation à 5 étoiles en complément de la qualité de l'imprimante elle-même. Ce vendeur a une très bonne communication, répond assez rapidement, est réactif quand il s'agit d'envoyer une pièce de rechange lorsque nécessaire (qui met toutefois un peu de temps à arriver mais bon, cela reste ici normal). S'agissant de l'imprimante, c'est une imprimante : - de grande qualité, - moyennement bruyante, - facile à calibrer (dès lors qu'elle n'a pas de soucis de conception d'usine comme celui que j'ai rencontré), - assez compacte avec malgré tout une surface d'impression très appréciable, - qui rend des impressions très précises, - qui imprime sans soucis du PLA, du PETG, du flexible, du bois, ... - son plateau chauffant chauffe rapidement. Si votre imprimante souffre d'un plateau chauffant légèrement en creux en son centre, l'installation d'une plaque de verre Creality (vendue séparément) sur le plateau chauffant résouds ce soucis, et offre un gain d'adhésion et de facilité à décoller les impressions. En conclusion, de toutes les imprimantes du marché à ce jour dans cette gamme de prix, c'est celle que je rachèterai sans hésiter une seconde si la mienne devait me lâcher complètement. D'autres offrent des "gadgets" en plus (détecteur de fin de filament, BLtouch, etc...), mais ont visiblement en contre-partie une moins bonne qualité d'impression. Je préfère pour ma part si nécessaire avoir une imprimante qui imprime le mieux possible de base, quitte à acheter séparément ces compléments ultérieurement.

Buena calidad para el precio que tiene, dificultades con ABS, con PLA muy bien

A Ender 3 Pro é uma impressora surpreendente capaz de fazer impressões em alto detalhe de uma maneira incrível, entretanto impressão 3D segue sendo algo um tanto complexo. A montagem é rapida e leva em torno de uma hora, o cartão micro sd incluído vem com um vídeo mostrando como montar e com um manual bem completo, porém em inglês. Incluí também alguns exemplos e um software de slicing. O que mais agrada na Ender 3 Pro é sua comunidade ativa, com muitas opções de ajustes, upgrades e ajudas online, o que facilitou muito iniciar as impressões. Estou feliz com a compra, e achei o preço aceitável para o Brasil. O envio foi rápido e a entrega também.

The Ender 3 marked my entry into the 3D-printing world, and I love it! The 3D printer has been a godsend! If you're also newbie and searching for advice, here's my brief take on the Ender 3. It's awesome! The Ender 3 arrives in pieces that you must assemble. Since it is essentially a robot, assembly can seem overwhelming at first, but if you take it one step at a time, you'll be printing in no time. I found the printed instructions accompanying the unit to be more sizzle than steak, but, fortunately there are several videos on YouTube that make assembly a breeze. Believe it or not, assembling the unit yourself is beneficial because it familiarizes you with the device. It will allow you to easily make the minor adjustments that 3D printers often require. My wife and I have found that 3D printing comes with somewhat of a steep learning curve, but it's fun. YouTube and websites such as "all3DP dot com" have proven themselves to be life savers. The most common adjustments you'll make while 3D printing is "bed leveling." In truth, though, you're not actually "leveling" the print bed, but rather you're ensuring that the print nozzle is uniformly distanced from the bed (the print surface) on all its 4 corners. The nozzle needs to be super close, too. ...not about an inch or two away from the print bed, but rather it needs to be no further than the thickness of a piece of paper. Crazy, huh? When my wife and I printed a test file provided by Creality (the manufacturer), we frankly sat mesmerized at the unit's precision. It was like staring into a campfire and getting lost in the flames. The nozzle just zipped back and forth across the print bed leaving tiny bits of corn-based "plastic" one layer at a time, and eventually (over time) created a cat/dog thingy. In search of more things to print, we settled on two websites with tons of 3D-printable files that are very often free to download. The websites are "thingiverse dot com" and "cults3d dot com". The latter site takes longer to load, but seems to have more options. Creality has one too, but I haven't really checked it out yet. It's important to note that the files you download from such websites are *.stl files, whereas the Ender 3 needs *.gcode files. To make the file conversion, we downloaded a piece of software called Cura. It appears to be the best (free) software on the market for "slicing" 3D files into *.gcode files. That too has a steep learning curve, complete with complicated settings. But fortunately there are lots of tutorials online along with settings you can copy from experts. I mostly rely on "all3DP dot com" for that. After a while, we decided to invent our own designs and then print them into existence. In my opinion, the cat's meow -- the best and easiest 3D design application -- is Fusion360. It has a limited free version for students and schools, but otherwise it's quite pricey. My wife then found free, open-sourced design software called FreeCAD. We love it, and haven't turned back since. The filament we prefer is PLA. In our experience, PLA produces little to no fumes and it's guilt-free because it's corn-based and biodegradable. It should be noted, though, that not all PLA is created equally. This is primarily because (according to what I've read) pigments affect the PLA in different ways. So, when I order PLA from Amazon, I always look for the PLA with the most and highest reviews. Then, I refer upon their temperature recommendations. Overall, we absolutely love the Ender 3. At under $200, it's extremely affordable, and the process of printing things into existence can be (in my experience) somehow transformative. And if you find yourself confused about something, take my advice by not wasting time by trying to figure it out for yourself. Just refer to the experts on any of the websites I mentioned so, later on, you can focus on things that really matter...like design. Note: the bearing on a little fan went out. So, I reached out to Comgrow, they got back to me immediately, and now a new fan is on the way. No fuss no muss. Finally, at the risk of getting to personal, I'm a disabled veteran who benefits from focusing on tangible things. The process of 3D printing has proven itself to be such a godsend in that regard, that I think the VA should seriously explore ways of getting more vets 3D printing. I hope this helped newbies like me. Happy printing!
