Quite the improvement from my previous Ender 3 Pro.

Early days but can recommend so far.

Do you really need a 12 minute benchy?

Try these https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3020865 in TPU and add some vibration foam under that if needed. Also lower jerk and accel.

P.S. Still rocking the OE ender. Direct drive micro swiss and klipper means tpu + can print flawless at well north or 100mm/s. All for $300 ish.

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.
