Creality Ender 3 3D Printer V-Slot Aluminum Frame Prusa I3 220x220x250mm by Hictop

Awesome printer. Unlike the Anet A8 variants, it's simple to set up out of the box and you don't have to upgrade everything to get decent quality. All metal frame, and good quality control box I'm not scared to leave on overnight. Only issue I've seen is the filament rubs against the z axis screw but I printed a clip to stop that, and the bed heater wires could easily get caught on the back frame as it's moving so used a small piece of wood level with the frame for the wire to ride on top of to prevent that.

Awesome printer. This is my first printer and I was able to get it to print almost right away. The prints it produces are very good judging from test prints I saw from other printers this one does better. I was looking to get the regular sized version but settled on this one and glad I did as it fits well on my desk and for most of my prints the size is perfect. There was a small issue when I got the printer the glass that it comes with was warped due to the tempering process. I contacted the seller and they offered me credit for getting another piece of glass at a local shop. I purchased two plates of glass at local Lowes cut to right size for aroun $5, I consider it a consumable part. I used sandpaper on the glass to rough up one side and works well with glue stick for holding the prints. This printer has great support community on line.

Amazing printer for it's price, definitely recommend, easily copy files from thingiverse to tf card and print, simple assembly and operation, build time less than an hour while watching TV. Recommend looking up basic first print set up for CR10(if you're new to printing it'll help you get bed leveled and everything running smooth). Attached pic of the test print file included , there's a lot of details the picture left out.

If you are looking for an outstanding 3D printer, this is the one. It will go together a lot easier and faster than some of those Christmas gifts you'll assemble next month, around 15 minutes or so. Print quality is excellent and the LCD display is easy to use. For added convenience, setup a Raspberry Pi 3 with OctoPrint and control the whole thing locally or remote directly from your computer, tablet or phone. My only complaint is with the print bed glass that shipped with the unit. It was really warped, so plan on replacing it with something better. Otherwise you really can't go wrong with this machine.

Let me start off by saying, this is the best money I've ever spent. The detail this printer is capable of blows me away. I use this primarily for printing toys for my kid and terrain/Minis for D&D, and I can honestly say the ones I printed at home look better than a lot of sets you could buy. I've been running it nonstop for the last 36 hours with zero issues. The heated bed and nozzle heat up in maybe 3 minutes, and the pause/resume function definitely works. My one and only complaint is the total lack of instruction or documentation included, the only included paperwork was a double sided flyer about tech support. The micro-sd card included actually contains instructions and a video on how to assemble it, but I only found that out after going on YouTube and fully assembling it. Ultimaker Cura is included on the sd card as well, along with a little dog as a test print.I did not test the original connections for the Bowden tube, since it's been pretty universally stated that you're better off replacing them from the start on ender 3's. Another thing to note, while the printer isnt too bothersome in a loud environment (ie TV on, people talking, etc.) Its not something I'd want running in my bedroom while I sleep.Overall, this printer is amazing, and I couldn't be happier with my purchase.

Right out of the box it printed great. Over time, parts wore out, and print quality degraded. The thermisistor and hot end didn't last- I replaced the thermisistor several times.Overall, though, for the price, it's a pretty solid machine. If you're just printing figures and decorative objects, it would probably be fine... And you can't beat the price.

I was pretty excited until I powered it on. Everything is pretty solid except for the electronics. Illegible screen so it makes doing any printing impossible. Amazon amazing delivered the replacement in record time unbelievable.... New printer is perfect and is performing exceptional!! Not disappointed with the quality of prints at all very very good. Update..4/24/19 printer is still making great prints!! Great value.

Really high detail printing. I just wish changing filaments was done electronic menu selection ability, That would make it smoother for transfer of mats. I liked to have the motor that feeds the filament mounted at the head area, to get better control of extrusion. Easy to print, just use the hair spray method. The stick glue only works for very small items to print. Have not lost a single print while using the hair spray method. I use INLAND PLA and have done great print outs with it.
