Cool review and we will continue to improve :)

@eistla12 6 лет назад

I love my Ender 3, easy to set up, endless prints. Thank you so much for sharing the Cura Profiles! helped me a lot

@3DPrintedTabletop 6 лет назад

You are very welcome! Glad it's working well for you!

@SpaceKingDinosaur 6 лет назад

You, Sir, totally rock! Informative, thorough, friendly, approachable, supportive, and clearly loving what you do, each of your videos simply makes my day better. I don't even have a 3D printer yet, however, your work has given me so much help in considering what to get I'll never be able to thank you enough. Still... thanks! Keep being awesome!

@3DPrintedTabletop 6 лет назад

Thank you for making me smile today Mr. Space King Dino. I do have a lot of fun with this channel and participating in the community - I have well before I started making videos. Grateful to be beside such wonderful folks who love all of these hobbies as much as I do (and get why I spend my nights with pliers and a blowdryer with little plastic figurines lol). You're welcome regardless of whether you have a printer or not. Thank YOU for bringing your awesomeness to our little corner of the internet :)

@akasnuggie 6 лет назад

Ever since I saw your suggestion on the Ender 3 and the Siepie profile, I bought one and haven't stopped printing since. Thank you a million times over for your dedication to your group, community and the work you put in to your videos. Everyone in the Facebook group (that your created) has been awesome and helped me troubleshoot a lot of the issues I had initially. Thank you again sir!

@3DPrintedTabletop 6 лет назад

It's my pleasure. We all grow together - I just asked a question last night. I feel so proud to be a part of such an awesome group. Thanks again for your comment, Chris!

@akasnuggie 6 лет назад

Anytime my friend. I will request you do a tile video though. ;) I've been cranking them out but I'm curious as to how you would tackle them.

@austingilliam9008 6 лет назад

Bought this printer after watching your videos. While I've had a variety of issues covered here (warped bed, bowden issuss, filament feeder erosion, etc.), I have no buyer's remorse. I've learned so much about 3D printing, and this is a really awesome community to be apart of. Thank you so much for fostering our own little niche of it, and as always, I look forward to your next video!

@3DPrintedTabletop 6 лет назад

You have a great atittude, Austin - and I know you did your research to understand it all and learn from everything. It's an amazing community to be a part of, and I'm happy to be learning beside you all. Thanks for your support, Austin

@derekjohnson424 6 лет назад

Hey Danny, I've been running my ender 3 for almost a week now, zero regrets! And the whole community support network for this printer is a real big deal. I'm a first time 3d printer, so seeing all these videos and guides for the E3 has been immensely helpful and inspirational, your videos being paramount in that. I look forward to getting my models (thus far) up for display on the reddit soon :)

@3DPrintedTabletop 6 лет назад

Hey Derek! So glad everything is going well! Happy printing my friend. I agree about the community support network - it's extra important for those who aren't technically inclined (like myself!) Looking forward to seeing your models!

@a7i20ci7y 6 лет назад

I got the Ender 3 based on your recommendation and I'm glad I did. Before getting in to 3D printing, I had no idea how many variables there are. Now that I know more about it, it's understandable that people get disparate results. I wouldn't go so far as to call it an art vs a science, it's just a complex science.

@3DPrintedTabletop 6 лет назад

I'm really glad to hear about your experience. I think it's a common misconception that 3D printing is super easy because you often only see the end result. When you include things like manufacturing issues, packaging/shipping problems, and then all the variables on the USER end as well - it really does make sense. Your experience can be completely different from even a big RU-vidr's - and that's just how it is right now. And I also agree that 3D printing leans more towards science than art. Adding manual supports though and finishing...that's a different story IMO! Maybe it's the crafter in me, but I'm learning about this stuff every day, and really enjoy myself. Thanks again for your comment - so glad to have you here!

@Nickknows00 6 лет назад

Great review man! The quality of the prints is crazy for how cheap it is

@3DPrintedTabletop 6 лет назад

Thanks Nick! I agree, and that's why I wanted to share the full story. Having appropriate expectations is important when it comes to tech like this that is still pretty much tinkerer territory :)

@nicholasfreeman1242 6 лет назад

I just wanted to thank you for your work on this channel and all of your grounded and meaningful advice. I've wanted a 3D printer since I graduated art school as a modeler. It's only recently they've recited realistic prices and your examples of how well the Ender 3 works made me take the plunge! I ordered one through your link last night and can't wait to start printing! I love the videos please keep them coming. Until next time.

@3DPrintedTabletop 6 лет назад

I am so excited for you, Nicholas. Thank you for the kind words! Keep me posted on your progress :) Also: If that is an Astra Militarum guard in your profile...we're definitely meant to be friends :D

@nicholasfreeman1242 6 лет назад

I'll defiantly keep you up to date! And it really is Imperial Guard! Death Korps I've just started that army and looking to try my hand at printing and modeling tanks and artillery for them! Totally meant to bud!

@3DPrintedTabletop 6 лет назад

I think you're gonna enjoy some of my upcoming videos :) I'm a part of 40k 3D Printing Discord, come join us if you'd like: discord.gg/qXyrvvm

@archaeaffxi 6 лет назад

Picked up an Ender 4 and had to tinker quite a bit with it and reprint all of the acrylic parts that were used. Now the print quality is outstanding, and I have to thank you for the Cura settings you linked in the original video!

@3DPrintedTabletop 6 лет назад

So happy for you, Matt! Looking forward to seeing your prints man! Thanks for your comment :)

@archaeaffxi 6 лет назад

Just joined the subreddit too, so I'll throw more up in there. Working on a big project now!

@Komaru.89 6 лет назад

Hi Danny, thanks for all the videos! I managed to order mine yesterday from Amazon, and it should be here today! You're videos on miniatures have really opened my eyes to the sorts of things I can do with my printers. Sure, they're not a replacement for Citadel or other resin-cast minis, but being able to print custom minis of "acceptable" quality? That's just awesome.

@3DPrintedTabletop 6 лет назад

I'm so excited for you! You're absolutely right - I don't think this tech will "wipe out" or really challenge GW/Reaper/WizKids or what not. What I think is it will add a new way for us to engage with miniatures for our tables, and allow us to connect with modelers and allow for more niche models than we've ever seen before. For example, Miguel Zavala recently made a gnome wizard on a pug. That'd be a great pitch to Reaper or WizKids ;) Or to a professional sculptor. But here we now have a model we can print and modelers who share their talents directly with the community. It's a really, really cool time to be in, or getting in, this hobby. Thanks for your comment!

@Komaru.89 6 лет назад

GNOME WIZARD, YOU SAY? I've had an XYZ DaVinci Mini w (left it in Japan when I left), a Monoprice Maker Select v2 (selling to offset the Ender3) and now the Ender3. I think one of the most exciting things for me as a wargamer, aside printed terrain, is that with the level of detail you've shown we can get, I can make medium-to-large accessories. I could print out and acceptable Plasma Cannon for a 40k Space Marine, for example.

@3DPrintedTabletop 6 лет назад

Oh absolutely. And things like tanks and even things like Imperial Knight Proxies are surprisingly decent. With a resin printer...it's next level. All you need is a high-poly model. I'll be doing some Warhammer 40k videos over the next few months, but I want them to be real good, so I'm taking my time. You can do great things though :) And as far as the gnome wizard on a pug: www.shapeways.com/product/EWA3JVR6A/gnome-wizard-on-a-pug-mount Enjoy :)

@witebuddha 6 лет назад

I basically bought the ender 3 on your recommendation and I've been pretty happy. There's definitely been small problems, I'm going to switch out a glass bed today actually. But really, as a first printer, I'm super satisfied. I churn out a couple minis a day and I'm learning SO much. I've had panic moments, but it's been a good experience learning how to troubleshoot. I think I really couldn't ask for better for a lower priced entry level machine.

@3DPrintedTabletop 6 лет назад

We've all had those panic moments. Sometimes, it's best to just leave the machine alone for a bit, and come back to it. Like a friend you get into an argument with :) You have the absolute right attitude, and it seems like you're growing as a result of it. Kudos to you, and I'm really happy for you. Thanks for your comment!

@crazygeordie1383 6 лет назад

hi just got my ender3 im using your profiles for printing but all the prints want to print in the bottom left hand corner and off the printer if i move it to the top right hand corner in cura it prints in boton left hand quarter i set my bed at 220x220 like i was told but still wont print any thing that i get thats pre sliced works fine any ideas

@w.robert3844 5 лет назад

Hi Danny! How does one actually open the Siepie profile? Cura will not open it, nor will any of my other programs! Please help.

@w.robert3844 5 лет назад

Well hell's bells. In Cura: Settings > Profile > Manage Profiles > Import (upper right button) > select file from computer. WHY has nobody on the internet mentioned this anywhere? It should be like step 1 info.

@3DPrintedTabletop 5 лет назад

It's in my "Your First Printed Mini" series - first episode :) Glad you found it! Happy printing!

@Gcrowan 6 лет назад

I got my Ender 3 a couple days ago and I'm just blown away at how much detail it can print. It's been working pretty much perfectly just out of the box. Definitely going to try out some of those mini profiles too, maybe get something even better out of it. Can't wait.

@3DPrintedTabletop 6 лет назад

You're in for a blast - have fun! Glad it's working so well for ya :)

@RicWestGa 6 лет назад

Great video and great review. You were one of the factors that made me lean towards getting an Ender 3. I couldn't be happier with it. I recently completed a 91 hour 45 minute print of one complete side of a Chess set using a lot of the setting you showed in your videos (based off a modified siepie profile) they came out looking incredible! Once the other side is printed it'll be time to print my mini's

@3DPrintedTabletop 6 лет назад

My hats off to you for that whopping 91 hour print! I'm glad I've been able to help you just a bit. And thank you for the comment and support! Cheers!

@philipgwyn8091 4 года назад

One thing I think people should keep in mind is that while this is a 200 USD printer, you could easily spend another 50-100 USD on parts to get it running near perfectly. Things like nozzles, bed springs, wheels, bowden couplers and tube, print bed, bltouch and so on.

@jacksonsherriff9899 6 лет назад

Just started my first miniature on my brand new ender 3, it's going great! Awesome review by the way, this review along with many other videos finally convinced me to buy one

@3DPrintedTabletop 6 лет назад

Really glad it helped, Jackson! Cheers! Come join us in the Tabletop 3D Printing Guild on FB. We'd love to have you :)

@leathorpcfj 6 лет назад

I really like how honest you are with the pros and cons. I bought a Tronxy x1 some time ago and no one told me that it was going to be such a pain to get it working (I'm still trying). Thank for the video, very nice :D

@StevesSmallWorld 6 лет назад

Great review , I am still playing with settings on my creator pro and not got up to this quality on minis yet and that is on £800 printer so realy shows that a very cheap priced printer can be a great tool bringing 3d printing on a budget to us all. Keep up the great videos.

@3DPrintedTabletop 6 лет назад

Thanks Steve! I agree - the fact that there are so many folks and we've been able to tweak and work with settings almost in a "hive" like fashion I think has really helped us accelerate the quality and settings for this printer too. I think this printer is ultimately a really positive thing for our hobby. Thanks for all you do, Steve!

@Thorlixa 6 лет назад

I very much agree, your spending very little on the printer so you need to expect issues. Rebuilt mines 3 times in the first week to improve my print settings an iv got it to a place in happy with, reading community comments was key to getting it working :)

@3DPrintedTabletop 6 лет назад

Really happy to hear that everything is working out :) That's a great attitude, and the right one IMO. Thanks for your comment!

@GraysonOhnstad 6 лет назад

Great review. I'm glad you pointed to others' experiences in addition to yours.

@3DPrintedTabletop 6 лет назад

Thank you Grayson. That will always be a part of my videos - everyone else's experiences are just as important and relevant as mine, and I try my best to share it in at least a fair qualitative manner. Thank you again for your comment!

@SSleid 5 лет назад

I'll be getting this printer soon. My first printer. Your videos have helped me a lot to make this desicion, and I know they'll help me to get the best from the printer. Thanks!!!

@EddTwilbeck 6 лет назад

Thanks so much for all of you efforts in this hobby, Danny! I think at this point I'm pretty convinced that the Ender 3 will be the best printer for what I want to use it for! Looking forward to learn more from you and all of the other excellent folks in the community you've mentioned on your channel!

@stuartnicholson8615 6 лет назад

As an experienced Anet A8 owner, I think you've sold me on the Ender 3 as a next printer. Bowden + a rigid frame is a step up from the Anet A8 and the few issues you've highlighted don't seem like huge concerns after running an Anet A8 for a year (I think I've replaced most everything except the power supply so far).

@w7w7w7w7w7 5 лет назад

Hey Danny! This video led me down a K hole and sold me on both the printer and the hobby. Thanks man! Keep up the great work

@RedHotBagel 6 лет назад

Great review! I would love to see a video about your thoughts on the different 3D-printable dungeon tile sets out there. Keep up the good work :) !

@3DPrintedTabletop 6 лет назад

It's on my list, but will take awhile to get too. I want to do it really well, and that's a very dense topic to cover if I included all the different basing options, and covered all the different connectors as well. Know it is DEFINITELY on my list though! :)

@dawnjackson5773 3 года назад

Because of your ender 3 videos.. About 8 or 9 months ago.. I got my first 3d printer... The ender 3 pro... Now that I have been printing for a many months now.. Me and my wife decided to get 2 more ender 3 pros.. Can not wait for these 2 printers to come in the mail... Those who are coming to this video who are not tech or mechanical savvy.. No worrys... If I build it and get great prints from the ender 3 pro... ANYONE CAN! Thanks Danny for making these videos!

@epicdungeontiles 6 лет назад

Great review, absolutely love it! I've had issues with my £600 printer so I can imagine a $200 printer naturally has to cut corners somewhere to hit that price point. Most likely the corners cut are in quality control, increasing the speed of production. Really enjoyed the video :)

@davethepak 6 лет назад

Thanks for the review. Now, while this is an amazing printer for the price - would you buy something different for gaming support for say, $400? Is the cr10 better print quality? Another printer?

@bigtgamer1 6 лет назад

I'm now trying to decide if I want another Ender 3 or a larger printer...love your videos man! Keep up the good work!

@Hoodley_ 6 лет назад

Which printer is better to take for printing miniatures and models creality ender 3 or cr-10?

@nwilly 6 лет назад

I bought mine a couple days ago after seeing your minis.

@3DPrintedTabletop 6 лет назад

I wish you the best of luck my friend! We will be here if you run into any issues. Thanks for your comment!

@nwilly 6 лет назад

Thanks and love your vids👍

@hoofrog 6 лет назад

I definitely appreciate the practical review approach. Thanks.

@3DPrintedTabletop 6 лет назад

Glad you enjoyed it, Roger! I appreciate the feedback. You're very welcome!

@lemonizer7000 6 лет назад

I couldn't get things to stick well to the bed. Tried all sorts of temp settings and bed adhesion types. The stock bed material peeled up and I had bubbles. Spent $7 on a piece of mirrored glass, peeled off the stock bed material and stuck the glass right on the metal bed. Excellent adhesion now and things stick super well - no glue or hairspray. I've been printing PLA at 205 and have the bed set to 215. Everything else worked well out of the box.

@railer5516 6 лет назад

I dont play table top games but I am looking into getting one of these for building model railroading items and seeing the fine detail your able to get definitely swings me towards this printer

@001skm 4 года назад

I am just curious, would you recommend the CR 10s V2 or the Ender 3 if you had to chose. I plan on making a bunch of 3d prints with the same scale as Nolzur's minis. I am thinking of printing anything between large dragons to regular "human" sized figures in this scale.

@1NebraskaPyro 6 лет назад

I am having trouble on deciding on whether I should get this ender 3 or the monoprice select mini. I have built a computer before as an example of my abilities but i'm just not sure because the monoprice seems to not need any work at all but has a really small deck. any advice?

@pangsbricks8412 6 лет назад

Hey 3D Printed Tabletop! So I bought the Ender 3. My bed came in 2 pieces. In other words unfinished. I contacted GearBest and they said use some paper clips. That kinda made me mad considering it was only a little over a week since I bought it. Any Suggestions on what I should do? Awesome channel always cool to see more!

@3DPrintedTabletop 6 лет назад

Hey Pangs - I've heard they're shipping these out after complaints of getting bent beds. On the CR-10, it came with a detached glass piece to go on top of the metal bed (like yours except with the other bed surface). Don't use paper clips - use binder clips at first (like these: amzn.to/2n3t8It) but I'd probably print some clips to avoid the risk of the nozzle hitting them when homing or what not. I hope that helps! Another option, is to just get a flex magnetic plate of some sort and just put it straight on the metal bed too. Would probably be easier in the long run. Cheers!

@pangsbricks8412 6 лет назад

Hey thanks a lot man!! I responded to them again so we will see what happens. If that is what is going to happen I guess I will try the clips. Thanks!

@wpherigo1 6 лет назад

Great video, Danny. I was impressed when I saw you video pop up on Naomi’s channel. Do you have any printers besides the CR10? Have you tried any of the upgrades/mods Angus did to his Ender 3? What would be the next, non-budget printer you might get? Excellent work!

@3DPrintedTabletop 6 лет назад

Thank you so much. Naomi has done a really great job of reaching out to our community in my opinion, and I'm flattered she linked my First Thoughts Video. I have a CR-10, an Anycubic Mega i3 (which I haven't been able to even get working...I'll need to take it apart because of the major issues I'm having setting it up), and an Anycubic i3 Mega right now. I haven't tried the upgrades/mods Angus did - but HAVE ordered a magnetic build surface that should be coming sometime within the next few weeks. The next non-budget printer on my list is probably the JGAurora A5 (I mean, that's technically budget TBH) - but really I am itching to get a Prusa i3 Mk3. I'd love to try a printer with dual extrusion also, to try soluble supports for minis more than anything, so I might invest in the new Creality printer with the dual heads as well (something like the Sigma is waaaay out of my price range either way). Thank you again for your comments!

@sfrskz 6 лет назад

3D Printed Tabletop my opinion dont buy jgaurora a5 prusa will be better choice

@arcadedelprof 6 лет назад

i have been thinking about doing the youtube thing for printing, show off some of my 3d printing modeling and stuff... but i dunno. Keep up the good work!

@Skott62 4 года назад

Great review/discussion. My question is what 3D printer would be the next step up that would have more refined features that the Ender 3 has problems with and still have quality prints?

@kensik 6 лет назад

I just got my ender 3 I was lucky my bed was good only problem I had was the belt they sent me was 30mm to short but I got it working they are sending me a new one as well. I am happy with it so far.

@3DPrintedTabletop 6 лет назад

Awesome - glad to hear that! Great job troubleshooting, and thanks for your comment. Love your Megaman Avatar BTW!

@amaurisstudio 6 лет назад

I know your printer is from the firsts ones... they fix a loot of stuff!! My printer arrive yesterday, and I see the angus video too... so I check everything before test it... I get perfect prints since the start! but I know is too soon to talk!! I just hope it continues like this! is a AMAZING printer for the price... BEST 200 printer!! :D

@3DPrintedTabletop 6 лет назад

I believe it - keep us posted, Marcelino! Definitely great value :)

@Valandar2 6 лет назад

99% of the time, the reason a Creality bed is warped, is because of how tightly they strap it down during shipping.

@3DPrintedTabletop 6 лет назад

Thanks for the tip, Valandar! I can imagine that is a hard logistical challenge to deal with when you make the bed as thin as it is (to reduce weight and all of that.)

@darrenp9454 6 лет назад

Valandar2 That's one point I haven't considered yet in my own experience with my CR-10s.

@JTMC93 6 лет назад

600$ and under usually does require a bit of tinkering. At least as far as I have seen. A few outliers do exist though. However most are more geared towards smaller prints. Like one prototype I personally have seen and used is a 75x75x75 cube for its build volume. Though that one does have features that would probably make Angus (Maker's Muse) drool.

@roxby1407 6 лет назад

Thanks for your Videos! Im about to buy the ender 3 or geeetech a 10. Which one got the better printing quality resaults?

@gerbster14 6 лет назад

Another suggestion for a low end printer is the Monoprice Select Mini. They also have a great community.

@PoppabearsCave 5 лет назад

Have they turned on the firmware from the factory since the video has been posted? Awesome Video! thank you!

@toxictripp 5 лет назад

How do you feel about the pro version of the ender 3?

@Adam-pn5eg 5 лет назад

Hey, great video! Amazon offers a pro to come and setup the printer for 100$. Would you recommend this for a first timer? Would this solve most of the issues you laid out in the video?

@gmanproductions823 5 лет назад

Hey bud so i am getting in to 3d level printing is this user friendly do u suggest i buy this printer and if you do please reply where i can buy this at....

@israelcontreras5332 6 лет назад

Great video...but i just ordered an ender 3. The preassembled main frame was wobbly...that is to say the four corners would not lay flat on the table. I expected some issues and do not mind assembling stuff. . But that is a huge oversight in quality even for a $200 printer. I have tried the recommended fix for this by loosening the frame on a flat surface. Ive got to say buyer beware on any creality stuff. Bear in mind the assemblies to which im referring come preasemebled from creality.

@TheWmoon72 6 лет назад

That doesnt seem like a horrendous thing though is it? You can build up under it as long as it prints fine.

@shopnerdy1884 5 лет назад

Hello there! Amazing review and other videos you have! I can see there are a few variants in the aliexpress link you provided for the Ender 3 printer. May I know which one you got and what do you recommend for a beginner? I have no idea what the differences are... Thanks so much! :p

@averageplayer2566 5 лет назад

Hello! First of all, great video and awersome job with your minis! Second, can you share where you got your mini's files? Are they free or did you buy them? I'm willing to pay for them if that's what it takes. I'm a D&D DM too. Thank you!

@Dimitri2014 6 лет назад

Can I still use this type of printer for printer off school work and photos ? Instead of using the thick ink you are using. ...can I just use normal ink for paper ? Thanks, ps does it also do 4k video ?

@michaelsimonsen5079 6 лет назад

Hey great video! I got mine Ender 3 , but I was wondering if the top plate on the bed plate is surpose to be loose? it is not attached to bed plate and is sliding around without the paper clips comming with the printer. Is this intentionally or I'am doing something wrong?

@MortenHaggren 6 лет назад

What's the total price to get to print? Aside for the printer I mean - filament, mods, etc?

@3DPrintedTabletop 6 лет назад

Honestly, you don't need any mods - but you do need filament. A 1kg roll of PLA will run you anywhere from $13-25 usually. If you want to buy a build surface (totally optional) - $15-25 normally. So total required cost? About $220 depending on where you buy the printer from. A bit more if you want something like a build surface. I hope that helps :)

So I just purchased an Ender 5 and was planning on putting this in my garage. problem is, I am worried about the temperature. I live in the northwest us so winters are about 30-50 degrees F. would this cause me any issues printing? I am new to printer this is my first printer.

Great review Danny! You almost talked my wife into letting me get one, but she thinks 2 Prusa's are enough.

Hello, I just bought my ender 3 pro last month. I'm still new to 3D printing and printed some helmets so far. But the problem is when I print mini figures. I'm using cura 4.6 as of now.

@drewd423 6 лет назад

What did you do to finally fix the under extrusion issue? I'm starting to get it now too. I ordered an all aluminum extruder, hoping that helps.

@kogawolfdemon567 3 года назад

Yo can this video apply to the ender 5 pro. I wanna get a 3d printer, and its either ender 3 pro or ender 5 pro. What one do u feel is best for minis?

@Zacknafin 6 лет назад

Nice video! CURSE YOU WARPED BED!! Going to give the magnetic build surface a try.

@3DPrintedTabletop 6 лет назад

Me too - I'm gonna give one a shot as well :) Let's see how it goes!

Every week there are new discoveries and upgrades. A review 6 months ago only shows where this thing started. Now, with a little research, you can head off most if not all your problems before you get your machine. But, you may have to invest a little more money in the upgraded parts.

@fhuber7507 5 лет назад

The printer is good. Some of the stuff available to print is a waste of filament. Its much faster to print a texture roller to imprint stone textures in pink builder's foam than to print walls, floors and most other flat stuff. Note that high quality printing of miniatures can be 2 hours per figure. Don't raft... spray with hairspray (Aquanet extreme hold). Clean occasionally with alcohol because it builds up. When it cools, the prints essentially fall off. Rafts can more than double the amount of filament needed and thus more than double the print time.

Have you done any mods to this printer and could you make a video (if you havent already) on what settings you are using?

I just tried importing the mini profile listed up above but it results in error and will not import ... "Failed to import profile from D:/Downloads/3DPrintingProMiniFile-Cura-4.2-and-on.curaprofile: Quality type 'high' is not compatible with the current active machine definition 'creality_base'." I'm using Cura 4.8. I have an Ender 3

Hey! Great review! Have you anyidea why I get this error when I try to import Cura settings: "The machine defined in profile E:/Dokumenti/_3D PRINTING/Cura Settings/3DPT-CR10-Ender-3-DragonsLarge-Minis-PLA-Base-1.2.curaprofile (fdmprinter) doesn't match with your current machine (creality_base), could not import it."

@Wolf359inc 6 лет назад

Hi Daniel. For someone who is a self-confessed “non-techy” person, you have accomplished remarkable results with your prints. I think you are selling yourself short. My takeaway from this video are: 3D printer’s are great, but do need some fine tuning. Also, be persistent, and ask for help from a largely friendly community, but do some research before you do. Keep up the great work.

Hi i have the ender 3 and still have a lot of problmes , if i print in vase mode i don't get underextrusion but is i try somthing alse all my prints fail , and i have problem whit the retraction , i think this is cloging my hot end, i use cura for my printer ,i wanted to ask ,what setting did you use to get quality and what nozzel?

@3DPrintedTabletop 6 лет назад

Hi Andrei! Sorry to hear about some of your challenges. Pictures would help, and if you ask in the Ender 3 User Group and/or the Tabletop 3D Printing Guild we might be able to help diagnose and see what's going on. To answer your question about settings: I use the settings here for most of my prints: www.3dprintedtabletop.com/resources/3d-printing-profiles/ For the nozzle: I use a stock 0.4mm nozzle almost all the time. I hope that helps!

scontent.ftsr1-1.fna.fbcdn.net/v/t1.0-9/36669870_527944167608986_754583165011492864_n.jpg?_nc_cat=0&oh=58c33b4b3de5783442f0b25566e5e938&oe=5BEBF341, most of the time is like this . So far this is what i changed to a metal extruder mk8 because they filament was eating in to the plastic , then i changed the hotend whit thermal screw or Break barrel i don't know how its called so pe ptfe tub from the extruderd wont go all the way to the nozell becouse of the new hot end , the thermal screw or Break barrel have a ptfe tube inside its 2mm inside 3 mm ouside , changed the ptfe couplers , i got so tierd of clogging the nozzle that i went and changed the firmware ,that help a little but wen it retract and push it back i can see the extruder missing steps and clicking.if i let it at 4 mm it won't retract good enough , but i go to 5 mm or 6 its good but the i can hear the extruder clicking and starts to eat the plastic the same for the speed at 50 mm its ok is , at 60 its the spot but again extruder problems , some times the plastic is retracted so much that it cools down and i have to take the hotend apart ,i can't print if i need to retract for a long time or to do supports , its ok for a while then just goes really bad, i will try them next week to build an object. one with the need of supports and and to be 2 separate objects and one without the extra travel and supports ,and see how it goes , and thank you for the reply, and the profiles and keep up the good work ,i was not that much in to board games , but now i'm thinking of making small pieces for games, thank you again

hi, did you upgrade your firmware on the ender3?

@3DPrintedTabletop 6 лет назад

No, I haven't yet. It's on my to-do list, but not as big of a deal for me personally, but I know it is for many which is why I brought it up in the video. I know many, many people who have upgraded it using the TH3D unified firmware.

@bluekuriboh1595 4 года назад

Im deciding on my first printer, im stuck inbetween the ender 3, or the photon? What do i do?

@finnohanlon7588 4 года назад

photon for minis, ender 3 for lower quality but still usable minis and large terrain pieces such as dungeon tiles ect ect

@sarahb.6549 6 лет назад

That Treehouse model looks great! Any idea where I can find the file?

@3DPrintedTabletop 6 лет назад

Yeah for sure! It was from the GameScape3D Kickstarter. You can check it out here: gamescape3d.com/wp/product/elf-outpost/ :) Jeremy's a great guy, very responsive if you have any questions. Cheers!

What color primer do you use...??

@kaelent1322 3 года назад

Hey i just recent got the ender 3 pro and i set it up and everything is level and working but i just cant seem to reign in the stringing on my projects. Ive tried new retraction settings, looking up multiple videos and etc. I know that it can work well without stringing because ive printed the preset 3 figures and they come out perfect. If anyone has any advice on where to go or what to do it would be greatly welcomed! :)

@noraexplora3268 4 года назад

I've been having an issue where the extruder prints off the edge

@koryhaydon6509 4 года назад

Hello, I had this problem as well! The instruction manual included in the SD card has you choose the wrong printer in your slicer software. Make sure you have the right machine selected in your slicer software.

@demacherius1 6 лет назад

What nozzle size do you use?

@MadManMatrix 6 лет назад

I’m still searching for my perfect settings so although I have had some excellent quality models printed every mini I have made has fallen apart or pieces broken off of it. I do have a fairly warped bed and only the middle 2x2 space is usable till I can go out and get a piece of glass cut. But the quality of what I’m seeing looks amazing just wish I could get a print that stays together.

@3DPrintedTabletop 6 лет назад

It'll get better my man. There have been a few moments where I've almost quit. Keep it up, stay positive, and you'll get it, and be all the better for it :) Try rafts :)

@robertmurray1267 4 года назад

I’m thinking about this printer for mini’s and after this video I think I will take the plunge

@StrideRunner68 4 года назад

Ender 3 is Really good for the Price 200$ but still prefer the Prusa I3 MK3s 3D kit if you have 860$ and 10 Hours to build it yourself... it's a time saver once built

@silverhawk661 6 лет назад

+3D Printed Tabletop Hi ! Could you please tell us how you fixed your under extrusion issue ? Sorry if you answered that already...

@3DPrintedTabletop 6 лет назад

Hey Mr. Sidekick! Here's how I fixed it: 1) Replacing the couplers + bowden tube, and 2) upgrading to a metal extruder (vs. the plastic one it comes with). That fixed my clogs, and prevented that hole from growing due to friction in the plastic extruder, which were all causing that underextrusion. That fixed it all for me :) Cheers! Happy printing!

@thewrongguy 6 лет назад

@macewen1 6 лет назад

What's the next step up from the Ender 3? Say best option in the 300 to 400 dollar range?

@3DPrintedTabletop 6 лет назад

It really depends on what you're looking for. I know some folks who really enjoy the Anycubic i3 Mega, and I know other folks who really enjoy the JG Aurora, and then of course there's the CR10 and CR10S. All are great options with different pros/cons. At the end of the day, the Ender 3 is probably the best bang for your buck when it comes to raw printing quality to build volume ratio :)

@macewen1 6 лет назад

I don't think I want to jump into a resin printer as my first go. I have been watching a ton of videos about them and they are pretty amazing. But I am having to learn how to model all over again to create water tight meshes AND trying to take figures from Poser Pro 11 and get them to a print ready state to make custom minis and what not. Plus terrain. Among the myriad other ideas and crafty goodness . . . I have been watching your tips and tricks for upgrading and trouble shooting the Ender 3 and the generally large community for that printer is something I take into account as well.

@3DPrintedTabletop 6 лет назад

It's a great choice, honestly. If you're learning to model, I'd probably recommend the Ender 3 to start. Better to ease into it with the lower cost than to be a bit more limited by resin tech/cost. Cheers!
