I estimate that about half the items I print fit in a 2 inch (5.1 cm) cube and about 80% fit in a 4 inch (10.2 cm) cube. These would al, fit on this and seriously considering this as a 2nd printer.
i might be an outlyer here but i kind of regret getting ender 3 now because of what it can't do compared tho this one i mostly print small model parts with abs and 0.2 nozzles , i know that is very strange combo but it kind of works for me the only problem is that build plate of my printer came warped and i can use for my models only 1/4 of the area if i want to my print to stick right, and i am forced to build a raft under it regardless of the size , magnetic build plate on a flat heated bed could help by the way the filements i had in the past flowed very well but were not sticking to the bed very well, or were sticking too well to rip them off without brutal force plus they warped the way they wanted every time, smart abs i got revently is kind of the oposite, it prints more like pla than abs but it is very fussy about filement being delivered so either i get perfect train parts or very underextruded ones , and mostly because filement spool got stuck and extruder didn't have the force to pull it around the spindle so i wonder if ender 2 fixes that problem with it's different filement path
Honestly I'd love to find a deal on one and set it up with a .2mm or .3mm nozzle and dedicate it to printing very small functional replacement parts we need for our business. We print those in either PetG, nylon, or ABS and with print speeds for fine parts I think this machine could handle that on most if not all 3 of those materials. Right now our Ender 5 pro does that job and I always feel its ties up a machine that should be doing bigger and better things
7 years ago I was close to buying a Prusa i3 kit, but I canceled the purchase due to lack of time for it. In the meantime, the 3d printer market has developed enormously and the Ender-2 will be my first 3d printer. Thank you for review!
Lol. I wasn't paid at all and the video was not sponsored. I did get the printer for free from Creality, but they asked for nothing in return and didn't see this before it posted.
Paid or not paid video . It's one my best fdm printers out the box. I have about 15 3d fdm printers from most of the popular brands. Though I will say my neptune 2 is also killer. But I have been looking for a good small portable fdm printer and so far it's been very nice.
@@TheEdgeofTech They've many major flaws that you never noticed. The mount for z tower is not aligned correctly causing skew prints, stepper motors get crazy hot, knockoff tmc clones, and firmware is not tuned. unfortunately all of the ender 2 pro's have these issues. Idk why they insist on selling printers that require fixing.
Guys I’m losing my mind. I made two successful prints and then 20th attempt after that is impossible. I bought a leveler reinserted the filament……. Gahhhhhhhh
Small size, cantilevered design, plastic mk8 extruder, 170 dollars... I would not consider that worth it at all, especially with the likes of the Kingroon KP3S 3.0 or the Anycubic Mega SE being similar in price or cheaper but having better parts
If you want skewed prints. At first glance it seems ok but it requires fixing. It's a fixer upper. Also don't touch the stepper motors, they get super hot! It looks good though.
If you want a printer that requires fixing then it's for you. Steppers are way too hot, steps/mm not tuned, it has wierd tmc clone knockoff stepper drivers, and Z gantry mount is not aligned causing skewed prints. I would hope other companies have better quality control.
How do u plan to fix the skewed prints? axis aren't lined correctly. Steppers get crazy hot, steppers not tuned, skewed prints, lound fans, tmc knockoffs, and the list goes on.
