I bought the Ender 3 S1 Pro in September this year. I’m an absolute beginner and I learned how to do things and setup my printer by going online to KZbin. Plenty of excellent videos on how to use the Ender. I even bought the creality sonic pad three weeks later. I recommend this printer for beginners as long as you trash the manual that comes with your printer and follow the many very well done videos online. You won’t have any troubles. Bed levelling and everything is perfect. I use Ultimaker Cura as my slicer and there are videos on how to use that as well. You just have to be patient, follow the videos, and do what they say and you WILL have a good experience. So far I’ve had no issues or troubles.

You realize why that's bad. Saying "Ignore what they send you in the box and find people giving possibly bad advice online". Heck, in this very video I say to edit the GCode with a "M29" line when the line clearly (and fortunately visually) is "G29". Creality relying on their community to clean up their messes isn't a good thing.

I bought this Creality Ender 3 S1 Pro and I love this printer, it was my very first printer and never had a single problem with it. I'm an engineer and the most important to do when you get this printer is to fine tune the printer, tight every screw, get all rollers tuned to perfection, get the belts tide, lubricate both gentry screws with lithium grease, level the bed manually using calipers, then with the paper method and finally a auto level. Add the G-Code line that forces the slicer to use the printer internal bed leveling (many tutorials to do so). Update to the new firmware and I promise you never have any problems with it.

Thank you sir, I have an ender 3 neo and I'm struggling with setting up the pad. I don't know how I got to your clip, but here I am. And when you entered the ug code I saw a significant difference. I installed all the codes like you did, I went code by code until I installed. Fired up the printer and imagine it works great. You have no idea how happy you have made me, if I had known this earlier where I would have ended up. I wanted to give up 3d printing and everything because it was too hard for me. But after this video clip, I realized that I was not persistent enough and unfortunately few people are talking about this. To be more precise, you are the first I have heard of this method. There is nothing I haven't tried, absolutely everything from the Internet. And of course I would always come back to the same thing. And now you have opened my eyes and given me the wind at my back to buy cr 10 s5. Thank you sir from the bottom of my heart

On the Enders 3 Neo v2, after running levelling you have to go into configuration menu and select "Store Configuration", this stores the bed mesh for use when printing. I have also added the line M420 S1 ;Load Mesh Bed Level after G28 ; Home, under the start Gcode, to load the stores Mesh. I'm not sure if M420 is actually required, as it may be within the firmware. Once I did these things the Neo had printed consistently with very few failures to stick to the bed.

Best this year so far is the JG Maker R1 model for beginners. Love the Kingroon KP3S by the way, I have several. We just "dumped" our newest Ender 3 S1 Pro because it was having a LOT of issues and came from the same source as you. The Ender 3 was the biggest let down this year with problems from auto bed leveling to stepper motors overheating, the bed needed adjustment after a few prints over and over again, belt tension, noise from fans and I could go on and on about the machine. I love the fact it was sold and gone now, no more worries with Ender 3.🤠

That's not what "Pro" means at all in this case. By that logic a $100 vanilla Ender 3 from microcenter is a "pro" 3D printer. Theoretically "Pro" should mean that it has features that professionals would want, which are usually reliability, reproducibility, and very little downtime. But that's not what this is.

I get perfect adhesion on that plate. Usually use a skirt, sometimes a brim especially with tree supports which are paper thin. Never glue. So much easier than glass and glue. Leveling done right one time I haven't releveled in dozens of prints. I have two of these printers. One of them has a Sonic Pad replacing the stock touch screen.

I recently acquired a Creality Ender 3 S1 Pro. Initially, I struggled with adhesion, but I discovered that the issue was with the Z-distance. I followed these steps to achieve consistent results: 1. Manual Z-offset Adjustment: Use a sheet of paper between the nozzle and the bed. Manually adjust the three Z-axis screws to ensure even pressure on the paper. Apply a slight amount of pressure. 2. Automatic Bed Leveling: Run the automatic bed leveling feature. 3. Fine-tuning Z-offset: Use a sheet of paper again to check the Z-offset making minor adjustments (in my case, -3.75) to achieve optimal adhesion. I dont think it is needed to modify the G-code, and I've been getting consistent results only having the right initial Z height. Remember that automatic leveling only compensates for bed irregularities, not the overall Z-height adjustment."

I have also needed to help my friends when the printer developed errors, I have helped with upgrades also to try and reduce the errors they may encounter, my friends said if they had not had my help they would most probably have sent the printer back, writing a decent user guide for printers must be of very high benefit to printer companies yet they seem to have skipped this!

I had an Ender-3 Pro from Micro Center using their $99 coupon, and I returned it because it was such a piece of junk. Swore off Enders until Amazon sent me a free Ender-3 Max Neo for review. Went through the same bed leveling challenge you had and finally figured out that I needed to heat the bed, perform the four corner manual process, then run the auto level. Once dialed in, it prints pretty well, but I'm still glad I got it for free. Creality pushes the Ender line as great for beginners, but does nothing to help newbies actually learn to use them. Nice haircut.

Creality Ender printers are not the only ones with this issue. Virtually all that use aluminium based heated beds have the same issue. If you by a more economical printer, you are going to have to deal with compromises like the slightly uneven aluminium beds. I have an Ender 5, it has the aluminium bed, but mine is not too badly warped. This is the second bed though. Out of the box, the bed was warped 0.2mm in some spots, and they replaced the bed immediately. Creality are good with support generally in my opinion. Since getting the replacement, I've never had issues and I have not had to do G29 at the start of each print, just tune the levelling each time I change a filament roll or build plate. Mine is the original Ender 5, stock hot end still, but I am looking to upgrade to an all metal hot end.

I bought this printer last year. If there is one thing they should upgrade to rolls royce status is the freaking SD card and SD port. I HATE IT so much! It's like a kid who knows how to be a karin most of the time. I upgraded the firmware from their website. Then a few days later the machine would randomly reboot in the middle of a print WITHOUT the possibility of being able to RESUME the print, cus it was too stupid to remember that it was printing something in the 1st place :) And then also a new phenomena happened lately when printing via SD card. I love checking in my print every now and then and sometimes I happen to give the table an ever so slight bump or like when you put a mug of tea on the table with a little thud and boy oh boy does the printer love that! Hej lets have some fun and randomly reboot because it got a fright and of course it got PTSD as well so it lost its marbles and could not resume, "What, what print?" hmmmmm So I tried printing from my PC and that seems to work (at the moment)

Good points. I have two Ender 3 Pros which I've recently replaced with more expensive printers. I did a lot of tinkering and upgrading of those two. Probably more than I did designing and printing. After being away from the hobby for almost two years, I really didn't want to deal with that again. I decided to spend more money and get a printer that I didn't have to tinker with. 3D printers aren't like laser printers. The industry is getting closer but the printers that are close to plug and play are very expensive.

The Bambu A1 that many are suggesting is not able to print in an enclosure. For the price, it is not a good comparison. You have to go way up in cost to be able to get a Bambu that can, and then you are way out of the range of the Ender. Oh well, you can't get everything for nothing.

Just really matter if you can get first few prints correctly. Due to high chance of bad QC.... Catch most new user can't figure out if it QC or user error. After probably 30 hours.. I figured it out. Now 30 hours vs working a day job to just get a better one? That the kind of question you ask 🤷

I really think it comes down to external help. There isn't (and hasn't been, and might not be) an inexpensive beginner friendly printer. As you said, if you need true beginner friendly (i.e. Plug and Play) printer, it won't be inexpensive. But if you need inexpensive, pick the printer with the best external support... And for my money, that is still Creality. I know it's not right to count on community support, but it is what is there for people who need an inexpensive printer. My first 3D printer wasn't a great printer. The Monoprice Mini 3D. But it was cheap and (more importantly), it had a great community for the beginner... If I had bought the printer and was relying on the documentation and support Monoprice was providing, I would have been unhappy. But that printer, with the Facebook group and youtube vids(including yours), became a great first printer for me... Yes, a Prusa would have been much easier to use out of the box. But that wasn't an option. Is it fair that these lower end companies rely on the community? Nope... But that doesn't mean we shouldn't still be recommending Creality. It does still have the best community support of the low end models... IMHO

There's probably a lot of other brands of printers also abandoned apart from the fact that creality are the most popular, so there will be more second hand printers as a result, like saying fords, or vw's are rubbish because there are so many of them in the autotrader. If people ignore the information that's available to everyone these days that's their problem. It's not creality's responsibility to teach you everything about 3d printing. You don't buy a computer and expect a free course in computer science. In fact I didn't get a manual with my £1000 laptop, maybe I should write reviews discrasing lenovo for such a poor product even though the build quality is so good and it's an amazing laptop.

@@mattphillips6515The problem with comparing cars and computer to 3D printers is if I go from a Ford to a Porsche, or a Dell to a Mac, is most essential skills transfer. Any skill that doesn't I would expect some level of writeup documentation about. I mean, they teach computers and driving in schools. Though that wasn't always the case. Do you know why many early Windows machines came with Minesweeper? It was to teach people to use the mouse because that was a brand new idea at the time. And you bet they documented even the dumbest stuff like how to hold the dang thing. But unlike cars and computers, there's no standard with 3D printers. Every brand, heck every model of 3D printer is different. For instance, this one has a brand new leveling system they came up with themselves, and instead of documenting how to use it, they just hope the community will pick up their slack for them.

You've clearly misread my comment, I wasn't referring to the skill set of driving, just the number of second hand cars compared to other brands, your arguement is invalid. Anyway, the same is true for a lot of modern tech. My arduino or raspberry pi didn't come with instruction manuals, there was no transfer of skills for me but I bought them knowing I would have to find my own path, I wouldn't bother going back to school for a hobby like that. It's the same with 3d printing. The problem isn't with the printer manufacturer, is the expectation of the customers and that is poorly managed by the people who suggest which printer to buy. So instead of wasting your time telling people not to buy a product that is more than capable of providing them with the satisfaction they're looking for why don't you spend time on providing solutions to help them. I doubt you're OK with that.

I have owned many, my best experience so far has been the Elegoo Neptune 4 pro. My flsun V400 has been a good experience also, but I think that's because I have had another Delta. My artillery x1 was easy to use ( 3 years or more ago ) but the printer quality was not to today's level.

I'll agree, the Ender 3 is a project in it self. Great for easy access modification & tinkering, not for people that want a out of box ready appliance. I had to learn everything on the fly with so many youtube tutorials & forum crawling to get the information I needed. I'm still learning after three years how to improve the physical hardware, don't get me started on learning how to edit & compile my own firmware... Never try to cram study editing Marlin for the first time in one night. Still rocking the Ender 3 v2 after light modification & made my own custom Frankenstein printer after ordering the frame for Ender Extender 400 XL then deciding to just build a second printer entirely rather than rip the little v2 to pieces. But it's been a fun if stressful time that's given me a several year hobby more focused on perfecting the machine itself.

I went for the S1 Pro a year ago because I didn't want 3D printing in itself to be my hobby. Whilst I do like the S1 Pro... There is just a little too much to do before the printer is useful. Firmware update, learn about how auto levelling is nothing of the sort. Expend lots of time manually tramming, then modify the start up g-code, then even more time with test prints to get the z-offset correct, because there is not good reason for it to be -2.78mm. All in all, I've got some good results... But I'd wish I'd gone for a Bambu labs printer.

Just a meta commentary on some of the comments here: I think it's absurd this idea people have that pain is some necessary part of 3d printing or that this guy is unreasonable for thinking a printer should be a decent experience that doesn't require you to learn useless non transferable printer specific "skills". Having a bad printer does not teach you how a printer works. It teaches you pain and forces you to solve the very specific problems of that one model. The reality is that if you want to learn how 3d printing works as a concept it takes 10 minutes on KZbin, and if you want to actually have a tool, you are simply wasting your time if you pick an option that forces you to research and fix it from the factory. Basically, I think a lot of people see 3d printing as a hobby and almost feel offended when other people don't have to nor want to go through the same pains they did. They see this useless waste of time as a right of passage and its just sadistic selfish nonsense in my opinion. People who like building Vezbots and vorons? cool. People who keep telling beginners to hurt themselves buying bad printers? Not cool at all. Luckily with the kick in the pants Bambulab has given to the industry I think we're going to start seeing these opinions disappear by force as printers simply do become easy enough to use that no poor newbies will be tricked into buying some horrible low value time sync on the lie that cheap = value. Anyways, rant done, I think this channel will love the heck out of the A1, and I look forward to more and more printer focusing on what Bambulab really innovated on: Not speed, but user experience. Sure there are things that use privacy people are annoyed about, and yes it's closed, but people need to realize most simply don't care. They want a tool that just works, and they finally started putting real effort into what Prusa seemed to have fallen asleep doing until they started. Anyways, to the recommendations, I think honestly, and 8t sounds biased, Bambulab A1 and P1S are just very obviously what I think this channel should recommend. Maybe the Mk4 for privacy minded folks. I honestly think we've seen a new baseline and should accept nothing less. No one should ever have to think about bed levelling again short of literally recieivng a malfunctioning unit. It should just work. No one should have to tune any of the typical filaments. They should just work. No one should have to deal with unnecessary build processes out of some silly idea that it builds knowledge or character, it should just work. Printers should just work. Reprap Machines, outside of building should just work. Everything should just work, and then anything else can be trimmings. The base printer should be taken out of the box, you let it calibrate itself, you put in filament and then it just works. Manual anything. Nothing else. Also, as a side note, I will admit I don't get the flash forge love though, because they are often very slow to integrate new ux features like auto z offset, ABL, etc.

I've owned an Ender 3 Pro (that's the upgraded original version of the Ender 3) for almost 2 years now. It's my third 3D printer, my first two were RepRaps that I built myself. So I think I know quite a bit about how these things work, and I've gotten VERY good prints out of the Ender 3, probably better than the two printers I built myself. At the moment, I'm converting a 'basket case' Ender 3 pro that I bought off of ebay as a box of parts into a Voron Switchwire. I enjoy working on these things as much as I like using them. But, I can see how the Ender 3 could really drive a tryo mad. BTW, I'm a retired software engineer.

A few days before my purchase I decided downloading Cura to see what was that about and potentially avoid a buying something I would not understand. The day I got it, I went for extra filament ( as the videos indicated in does not come with much ) and that same day i had both the rabbit and the cat models printed 98% perfect (with a few blobs) . After that i tried sliced models with no problems That is my experience as a complete beginner in 3D printing and it's delightful.

As a Brazilian, I grew up with no documentation on anything, except for a few local kitchen appliances, everything else just came with waste paper, since most of them were in english and less than 2% of the population speaks english, some had european translations such as italian or spanish, never portuguese though, I guess Portugal just wasn't big enough. We were taught at a young age, that the way to learn how things work is to ask others and later on the internet when that came about.

There was a funny message that temperature had gone out of range, nozzle overheated etc. LCD screen became blank apart from seven small spots on the screen. It was not possible to restart printer. Been trying to get help from Creality Support but so far no luck. Got onto someone on the chat site and explained symptoms,, they said maybe a firmware update required but it seems more like a mechanical problem to me.

My biggest complaint is getting it to print multi-color prints by tricking into changing filament using the M600 command.

The machines firmware does not actually support M600 command filament changes automatically - using PrusaSlicer at least.

The only solution is to put marlin or klipper on it. For one, the inevitable x gantry twist throws off bed leveling, and while x-twist isn't as bad as on dual rail designs like my SV06, I still had 68 microns deviation on my S1 Pro, which is 34% of a 0.2mm layer height. There was no way the bed mesh would give satisfactory results without x-twist compensation. The official firmware is also dogshit slow to get the mesh. Now with klipper the same mesh runs five times faster and I also get adaptive mesh before each print. And every other part of klipper is so much more convenient and is as fast and responsive as I configure it. The good answer to save money is to put a little more money into a Raspberry Pi and turn a cheap printer into a rockstar.

Everyone always talks as if the Ender 3 and ender 5 are interchangeable. THEY ARE NOT. Its like trying to pretend the Ender 2 and the CR-10 are the same. Beyond a couple of commonly used parts, they are not. 0:30 He says M28 and M29 here but means G28 and G29. Still infinitely more helpful than the idiots who will sperg about the satan of the 3D printing world " THE ALMIGHTY NOZZLE CLOG" being the source of all problems in this life and the next. When my problem was the extruder block outright giving up on pushing filament through unless I ran the thing in reverse or manually fed it after installing a CR Touch and Creality's last update for the 4.2.7 board back in NOV 2022. My nozzle was immaculate because the filament never got there even with brand fucking new cuts of PTFE Capricorn tubing. I just gave up and installed a direct drive setup over that ptfe setup. 6:10 "THIS. IS CHINESE TOILET PAPER" Creality customer support is nonexistent. If in the rare case you get anyone to respond from Creality customer support, they will insist you buy a new printer with no name or ID about who you are speaking to if they don't outright ignore you and have several different official websites so GLHF getting a hold of them in the first place, let alone updating the firmware.

On the plus side, there's a lot of groups on social media who have printers like this that should be able to help you. Heck, if you jump on my discord, the #troubleshooting folks are great. Not sure what "Auto back is stuck" means, but if you jump on discord and show them some pictures, I'm sure they can help.

It's difficult isn't it. I've been looking into which printer to buy for my entry into 3D printing and it seems like all the 300€ models are... difficult. Ender seems to be resting on their laurels and all the models are slightly different iterations on an old platform. The neptune 4 seems to have serious software issues people are struggling with and uses different parts where it's difficult to get replacements or different nozzles. The Sovol also seems to have a bunch of issues which you yourself probably know best. You get what you pay for I suppose but the P1P is literally twice the price, of course you get much better things for literally twice the price. Maybe it's worth that investment but how am I to judge this? It's quite a bit of money isn't it? If you do happen to see this I am open for recommendations. Edit: To add onto this it seems there is a bit of a lack of options somewhere above 300 but still under 500 dollars. Like around 400 or 450 with some niceties and actual qualities but not immediately 600+

Lots of bullshit to this guy didn't even do his homework on how to use the printer. It's better not to listen to him because he doesn't really have anything concrete to say

Awesome video. I sent mine back due to being defective. Would not hold a level bed even with the changing the g code. Creality told me to go buy a glass bed lol. Ended up getting a return label and they got the printer and kept my money. Horrible company to due business with directly.

quick question. i just got my Ender 3 s1 pro the other day and set it up last night and had it auto-level itself. today I attempted to print out the default rabbit that comes with the printer. the filament would not stick to the plate and kept poping off, so i manually leveled it and that fixed the sticking issues. however now when i attempt to print out the rabbit, the printer will automatically shutoff when previously it was working fine (aside from the sticking issues). any clue as to what could be going on

Thr GCode is missing the line that I point out at the start of this video that you need to add to your prints to get them to stick. Which is really, really bad if you think about it and the reason I put this machine on blast like I did.

@@jeffwagner1978 oh definitely not gonna print those technical filaments without an enclosure, for your health. But this is like I said "standard on a budget", and you arnt printing those "on a budget", since you need an enclosure.

I wish I had seen this video before I bought my E3 S1 Pro. My friend recommended it to me and it's been nothing but a headache. I hate this thing. I feel like it was recommended to me as a cruel joke to see how much psychic torture one could be put through before they snap. "You should be able to level your printer and never touch it again!" I, meanwhile, cannot get my Ender to stay level. I cannot get my prints to stick. Stable surface? Nope. Glue? Nope. Slapping some G code into the slicer? Nope. Leveling with the paper trick? Nah. Leveling with a feeler gauge? Nope. Doesn't stay level. My prints fail several hours in. I get why I see so many pictures of people abandoning these cursed things by dumpsters. I'm about to abandon mine and I've had mine for not even 2 months. No words can describe how much I hate this thing. How many chances I've given it. The guides I've read. The amount of troubleshooting I've done. I don't want to think about this awful thing anymore. I want to smash it with a sledgehammer to feel any sort of relief from the pain I've felt dealing with this awful thing. I'm done. I hate Ender. I'll never buy an Ender again. I've watched other friends buy Bambus and they just work. When they do have issues it's a problem they can fix in 5 minutes. Sorry for the rant but there is no amount of words to describe how much I hate Ender and how much I hate my E3 S1 Pro. To resell this thing would make me feel immeasurable guilt because I feel as if I'd be pawning off a torture device onto someone else. I'm not alone with my feelings. I wish I read *ACTUAL* reviews that people wrote because all of these videos gushing about the E3 S1 Pro I'm convinced are paid actors. There's no way such a horrible thing can be so beloved when I can't get mine to print a single thing.

Salut. Je viens d’en acheter une (d’occasion) que je reçois bientôt ... J’ai vu toutes ces vidéos où l’ont dit qu’elle est géniale ... Et puis, tout à coup, j’arrive ici, je lis tous les commentaires dont le tien ... Et soudainement j’ai peur. Très peur car en plus je suis un débutant ...
