Hi guys. Long time lurker, first time posting a deal.

With the crazy COVID19 pricing starting to rollback, the ever popular Ender 3 is on special at Banggood AUS warehouse for a great price of under $270 shipped or the Pro for under $293 shipped. Plenty of videos on this 3D printer for 3d printing newbies. I grabbed a Pro with the glass bed ($22) and a kg of filament ($35). Great bang for buck. Enjoy!

          Only white is in stock in AU warehouse currently. But the comments below mention 3dfillies 1kg rolls for $25 https://3dfillies.com/. https://www.banggood.com/Creality-3D-White-or-Black-or-Yello…

            @Hazza: Any suggestion on what kind of filament is best to start out with?

            • Hazza on 07/08/2020 - 13:18
              +5

              @chu-oh: PLA is the cheapest and easiest to start with according to everything I have read.

              • dogzilla on 07/08/2020 - 15:14
                +2

                @Hazza: yes, PLA is the most forgiving for new people to the printing game. PETG is a step up afterwards (more sturdy and other properties).

                After playing around with my ender 5 for 8 months i would suggest getting some replacement nozzles (i use 0.6mm on mine now and its awesome) and an additional bowden tube. Glass bed is great, i also use.

                Print your own upgrades too - just search Ender 3 on Thingiverse (cults3d, printshape or PartCloud) and you will find tons of user printable upgrades for your Ender 3.

                Enjoy….

                Also - print a Benchy boat as your first print….its a tradition i believe.

                • Hazza on 07/08/2020 - 15:27
                  +1

                  @dogzilla: Yeah I have watched a heap of videos on printable upgrades. Will definitely be doing some of them. Have you printed with ABS? I want to print some things for automotive use so need better heat properties than what PLA offers. Was going to use ABS, but read it's more fussy and needs a higher temp. Yep benchy boat lol.

                  This is a pretty good upgrade vid - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kG_YKeJDaX8&list=PLBL9IJbC9j…

                    +2

                    @Hazza: Nope, havent tried ABS, but PETG has some of the same properties without having to build an enclosure to keep the heat up. ABS is tricky and i havent bothered as PETG does everything i need.

                    Look up LAKK Ikea table hack - you stack 2 of them on top of each other with printable leg extenders and wham bam - you have an Ender 3 enclosure - just need acrylic side panels to enclose for ABS printing.

                  • maddoglee on 08/08/2020 - 00:17

                    @Hazza: I use a 60W bulb shining on my monoprice V2 and a few modifications to stop airflow from the fan on the extruder and I manage to do successful prints without an enclosure.

              • maddoglee on 08/08/2020 - 00:15

                @Hazza: ABS is cheaper than PLA.

            • GibbledyBobber on 08/08/2020 - 09:03

              @chu-oh: Get good quality PLA from Cubictech or X3D

Since they seem to love socialism/marxist and quazi communist ideologies so much then why not just move to those regions and embrace all the incedible wonders of said. They should run their protests in such regions and watch the bodybags come out. Cmon angry inane Westerner when's the next protest? Getup!

      Standard is 0.4 but I think you can use smaller, like 0.2 for minis… though resin is prob better overall if you are only printing minis I believe.

      • rhimes on 07/08/2020 - 15:18

        yeah, i started looking into it. Plastic is probably fine for monsters, but faces and fine details better with resin.

        Keeping an eye out for a discount resin one!

      • ryang on 07/08/2020 - 11:51

        PLA quality impacts a lot on more detailed prints as well. One spool I ordered works fine at draft/standard layer heights, but produces horrid results at higher quality. Haven't had the problem with other spools.

        • readeral on 07/08/2020 - 18:15

          I just bought and Ender 3 V2, shipping insurance was something like $6. A no brainer for a $400 expense.

      you can get a set of 0.1mm to 1mm nozzles for like $10….just order all of them

      Yon still print at 0.12mm with a 0.4mm nozzle FYI. Just the smaller nozzle has incrementally better detail

    • GibbledyBobber on 08/08/2020 - 09:08

      You'll get much better detail from a resin SLA printer at the cost of very small print size and having to cleanup unused resin. Ender 3 will still do miniatures but not nearly as well. Have a look at a comparison on youtube.

  • Rifty6210 on 07/08/2020 - 10:56

    I do see the "Pro" version in the related products for $293, is it worth the extra to go for this version?

    • sarakoth on 07/08/2020 - 11:00

      Yes.. the magnetic bed and improved power supply is worth it.

      • Hazza on 07/08/2020 - 11:22
        +1

        I disagree regarding the magnetic bed, as it is not guaranteed to fix any warping in the factory bed. From what I have read the glass bed is the best bet. Hence why I went with the standard version and add on glass bed.

        • Rifty6210 on 07/08/2020 - 11:27

          very interesting…

        • knk on 07/08/2020 - 11:33

          I have an ender3 clone, geeetech A10 and it has a grippy textured / glass double sided bed.

          The glass bed + hairspray gets me good adhesion every time. Would recommend glass any day of the week.

        • sarakoth on 07/08/2020 - 12:11

          Yeah I suppose if you have a warped bed then glass will help… however I have been using the magnetic bed for 18 months and 95% of stuff sticks fine with no messing around with hairspray and pops right off the flexible bed.. no real right answer.. if you have issues with glass, then going to magnetic may help, and vice versa… each machine is different and people also have different printing needs and the most underrated part, skill levels of building and setting the machine up properly.

          • Hazza on 07/08/2020 - 12:30
            +1

            @sarakoth: Very true. Most of my reading mentioned that for a first timer, bed levelling (and having a perfectly flat bad) can be the difference between giving up on 3d printing from the start, or having many successes. And since each machine/bed is different, in theory the glass bed should eliminate that variable. But your right success can be had with either.

            • gbnz on 07/08/2020 - 14:16

              @Hazza: I wrecked my magnetic bed from not getting it leveled off correctly. The wheels underneath are terribly inaccurate when trying to level it off.

              Ive just ordered a glass bed cant complain for $20

              • sarakoth on 07/08/2020 - 18:38

                @gbnz: 2 compulsory upgrades… yellow springs & metal extruder…

        • kapone on 07/08/2020 - 12:44

          Glass bed is much much better.

    • Gravy Train on 07/08/2020 - 11:01

      I literally only got the pro version delivered a week or two ago for the $293 you mentioned. It is much quieter than my friend's non pro version. Other than that they seem almost identical.

      • Hazza on 07/08/2020 - 12:12

        So your pro must have the new control board if it is much quieter than the non-pro. Can you confirm from any of the doco/marketing that is has a different board?

        • ajh on 07/08/2020 - 13:46

          I also purchased a pro to add to the collection a while back, I had to actually check the board physically to see if it is was the newer style. Was going to chuck in a e3 mini but didnt. Also the Y extrusion is larger on the pro. I think it is well worth the 40$ extra for the pro.

          • Hazza on 07/08/2020 - 14:25

            @ajh: So your pro had the quieter control board then? Nice. I might change my order then. Also it's only an extra $24 not $40.

          • wpw on 07/08/2020 - 14:56

            @ajh: My Pro arrived last week. What am i looking for to confirm the upgraded board.

            • ajh on 07/08/2020 - 15:35

              @wpw: Easiest way is old one is light green new one is blueish. It’s in the box underneath the bed.

              • wpw on 07/08/2020 - 16:10

                @ajh: Just opened it up. green. has V1.1.4 on the board?
                Also has slight scratch to one side of the magnetic build plate , will this have any impact do you think.

                • Hazza on 07/08/2020 - 17:00
                  +1

                  @wpw: V1.1.4 is an upgraded board compared to the original/non-pro pretty sure, hence why its quieter. The latest is V1.1.5 though. I doubt a scratch would have any impact.

                  • ajh on 18/08/2020 - 10:54

                    @Hazza: Hi, late reply!

        Sadly shipped from cn if it was au would have got it!

        • Joku on 07/08/2020 - 12:02

          Yeah, for now shipping cost is killing the value proposition for Ender 3 V2 and also for the similar BIQU B1.

          So if you want value for money you're better off with an Ender 3 Pro and D.I.Y mainboard upgrade eg. BTT Mini E3 V2.0 mainboard.

          If there was AU stock of all 3 I'd probably get the B1 myself. The pros and cons of V2 vs B1 have very comparable cost price I think so it just comes down to personal preference. Personally I bias the better mainboard on the B1, it's going to be useless extra cost for most buyers but personally it's something I was already looking at paying extra for over the BTT Mini E3 if I wind up buying an Ender 3 Pro.

          • RaihaX on 07/08/2020 - 12:51

            @Joku: True the FLSun Q5 - prices has dropped to - shame also CN warehouse though is a Delta which is a different beast all together! (has had some frustration with a pred - but the Q5 is suppose to be real "good" OOB)

    Not a bad deal - Creality selling it on their official website for $207USD ($286AUD) with tempered glass bed and 5 nozzles from AU warehouse.

    https://www.creality3dofficial.com/products/official-crealit…

    $35 p/kilo for filament. What brand was it?

    Can get esun PLA+ for $25 p/kilo OR 3d fillies for $26.90 p/kilo in oz. Both print very well.

    • trishmapow on 07/08/2020 - 11:36

      Hmm very similar prices. Not sure now whether to get direct from Creality or use BG and get cashback + $5 points that I have… Also whether to spend $20 for the Pro version or not when everyone's saying the glass bed is better. So much information!

      • Hazza on 07/08/2020 - 11:41

        You can get the PRO and add the glass version. The PRO gives you quieter control board and better PSU if that is important to you.

      • ocoolio on 07/08/2020 - 11:43

        I'd always prefer to buy it directly, much easier to deal with warranty (if needed). Who knows how/where BG sources it from

        EDIT: regarding glass-bed, I have a metal bed, it's totally fine. But if glass bed is only $20 more then hell yeah, get a glass bed!

    • Hazza on 07/08/2020 - 11:42

      That's a great price with the glass bed and extra nozzles. What are the extra nozzles for?

      It was just the creality PLA. Where do you get the esun or 3d fillies for $25 shipped from?

      Either is fine. The main benefit of the PRO is the better power supply. Whichever version you go for I recommend the glass bed.
