Quite the improvement from my previous Ender 3 Pro.

Early days but can recommend so far.

These feet do look nifty, thanks!

I only use the pre-sliced benchy that came with the printer to compare filaments. 99 percent of my prints are functional items and almost all of these I model myself in FreeCAD.

My current project took 25 hours on the Ender-3 Pro and takes 6 hours on the new guy. Game changer, makes me try projects/revisions that I wouldn't have attempted before. Not to knock the trusty old Ender 3, it was my go-to for a while when I needed FDM and the build volume was big enough. It still outperforms my other FDM printers, quality wise. Just takes it sweet time to do so. :)

  • Direct extruder for soft materials
  • 300 °C hotend
  • WiFi capable, no need to mess around with SD-cards or USB-Sticks
  • A lot more silent than the 3 Pro

Edit: + Magnetic PEI sheet + Auto bed leveling

PSA: The Creality_Print Slicer (v4.3.8.6991-x86_64) has a slow as molasses preview and is prone to crash, at least on my Linux machine. I use Cura, OrcaSlicer and S3D with good results. Still have to put all of them through their paces thoroughly.

F.Y.I. Speaking of silent the 4.2.7 mother boards make an Ender 3 a THOT printer. (only fans, literally that quiet)

Happy printing.
