Great printer

This is my first 3d printer, very easy to set up. Had to do some minor adjustments to the axis motors. Once I learned how to adjust settings and use the slicer program everything went very smoothly

Model: Ender 3 S1 ProVerified Purchase

We bought this Creality Ender 3 S1 Pro for use in our company’s prototype lab. We had 4 other FDM printers in the lab at that time, but we needed another printer because these 4 units were constantly being utilized, and we needed more capacity. We wanted one that was affordable so we could share with other engineers so they could quickly check fit and function of their designs.

The Creality Ender 3 S1 Pro has been a good printer for us. It shipped quickly and was packaged well. Assembly was easy and fast. (Most of the parts were pre-assembled). NOTE: make sure your voltage selector (115VAC/230VAC) is in the correct position because the power supply is not an Auto-Sensing Power Supply. This printer is similar to the Creality Ender3 V2, except it has a few upgrades/modifications. We like the extruder – it is easy to add/change filament. It also has a high temperature that can be used with multiple materials. The filament detector looked strange and seemed flimsy when it was assembled, but it works properly. It is nice that it will pause the print if the filament runs out. The LED light on top is a nice feature. We thought the touchscreen would be nice, but sometimes we can’t see it well because of the glare of the high-gloss screen. Also, the software isn’t very intuitive, but we figured it out pretty quickly. (We actually prefer the Ender3 V2’s GUI and rotary knob interface without touchscreen.) Automatic bed levelling was not very intuitive either, but we have enough experience leveling beds that we figured out how to manually level it quickly. The Creality slicing software works well and offers a lot of build options. The Creality Ender 3 S1 Pro has a parts drawer that we use to store extra parts and tools. The biggest issue we had was with the flexible magnetic build plate. We had many PLA adhesion issues with it. We tried different bed temperatures, print speeds, filament brands, and even changed ambient temperature and humidity levels in our lab. However, we couldn’t get the prints to consistently stick to the bed. Our other printers all have glass beds, and we don’t have adhesive issues with them. So, we bought a glass bed for this Creality Ender 3 S1 Pro printer and that fixed the problem. We haven’t had any more adhesion issues. (The glass bed is the only modification we made to this Creality Ender 3 S1 Pro printer). With this glass plate, our builds have been consistent and dependable. Overall, this printer has worked well for us and we are happy with the performance.

Customer Support: I wanted to add some comments about this seller because SainSmart has been incredible in their support. I have reached out to them many times with questions about set-up and product functionality. I have always received prompt, courteous, and helpful replies. I have received concise answers from them, and their responses included pictures and detailed instructions and suggestions. This type of support is very valuable to me. I would definitely buy from SainSmart again.

The day-to-day printing on this machine is phenomenal. It's blazingly fast, print quality is great, and can handle all your basic filaments. If anything on the print head breaks, though, things spiral into frustration.
As of late March 2024, there are no direct replacement parts available for purchase. You are at the mercy of how long it takes Creality support to reply to you which can be maddeningly long, all the while things sit inoperable.
This likely will be a solved problem in the future (The V3 SE had no replacement parts on the market for months, either) but be ready for early adopter roughness. Keep an eagle eye watch for globs of death.
Quite possibly the most frustrating bit is that Creality has once again decided to switch the thermistor connector to a different JST type. It's the same pitch as the V3 SE/KE/K1 machines, though, so you can pop the new plug housing off and put in the more sensible one.
I'm also not a fan of the included spool mounting. It takes an otherwise compact Enter 3 footprint and balloons it out to the side. As this machine matures I expect there will be more sensible mounting options, just a bummer that once again it's on the community to fix the problem.
As of late March 2024, Creality has released firmware that allows root and SSH access to the machine, so props to them for that.
Despite the repair frustrations, though, I'm quite happy with the printer. People called it a Bedslinger K1, so I just set it up with the K1 profile in Orca Slicer and it's been great.

Divertente e istruttivo

Reviewed in Italy on November 10, 2021

Un regalo per mio figlio di 16 anni. Oltre ad essere divertente è molto istruttivo. Lo ha invogliato a dover seguire dei tutorial per poterlo montare e far funzionare bene. Si diverte a stampare oggetti per lui e anche per la scuola. Qualcosina la vende anche facendo un piccolo business. 1🤣🤣🤣🤣

Relación calidad - precio insuperable

Reviewed in Spain on November 7, 2021

Creo que parece ciencia ficción lo que puede hacer esta máquina en relación a lo que vale.
Es impresionante, estoy encantado.
Acojona un poquito al principio para montarla, pero es mas facil de lo que parece. Además hay varios videos en Youtube, buscar concretamente este modelo.
No hace nada de ruido (ender3 V2) , lo recalco aquí porque mi sobrino tiene el modelo anterior a este (la 3 pro) y dice que el ruido le molesta bastante en su habitación. La mia es super silenciosa, nadie se quejará por el ruido.
Luego una vez montada, la clave está en ajustar bien el nivel de la cama de impresión.

Great budget 3D printer

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on October 2, 2021

Print quality is amazing, adhesion is good if you level the bed and it's not a hard printer to use.
There are some issues with it like the crappy bed springs and plastic extruder, but those issues can be fixed for as little as £12 by buying an Aluminium extruder and stiffer springs.

Overall great first 3D printer, takes a little bit of time to get setup but once it's ready it'll do you good for whatever you need.

hasta ahora cumple con lo esperado, pero es muy dificil calibrarla bien y tiene problema con el cable del eje y, ya que rosa con otras partes y altera el resultado, nada que no se pueda resolver falcil, pero es molesto darte cuenta despues de horas de estar calibrando y revisando todo lo mas logico
