Ender 3 Pro is both Professional with a few upgrades and Beginner as is NICE
Top reviews from the United States

- Reviewed in the United States on September 1, 2021I was really surprised at what this printer can do. I have 5 of them now and use them for production parts in my valve and machine. I even print sprockets using a chain drive and PC carbon fiber PETG carbon fiber.
I have upgraded all of them a bit. All have direct drive extruder and the all metal hot ends, as I print at 248C and the Teflon tube cannot take that temperature very long and will cause a blockage in the hot end.
The hottest I have had to print so far is 255 and it works great. You can buy a cheap “heat break” that makes the Creality hot end “all metal”.
Three have the dual Z axis kit on them, and the other two still single and print fine. But the single Z's need leveling more often. I put all aluminum extruders on and have no issues with feed. I have never had to adjust the E steps, nor have I upgraded the firmware, as they all work and print parts within .02 mm. The only issue I had was three of them had .4 mm nozzles were not .4 mm, from the factory, and that caused some funny prints with the walls separating. I used a digital caliper and measure the filament coming out of the nozzles at under .3 mm. Now with every nozzle install I run some filament out and see if it, shows 0.4 exactly on all the replacements. All the walls print strong now. I think that Creality got some .3 mm nozzles with .4 marking.
To get perfect prints requires some testing and working on the printers. I print almost exclusively PETG and many different brands depending on he price. I noticed that some I bought direct from China were “wet” and so I bought dryers. All the PETG I dry before using and get no “blistering” where the moisture expands under heat. I just don't have time to keep reprinting because of moisture.
I also print some TPU and at on time printed over 500 of these “rubber” grommets that our supplier stopped making during the COVID shortages.
The main thing is to assemble it correctly so that the X bar is level and the wheels (with the pom tires) can actually spin with some friction. You can measure with a metric tape or rule and get it within .5 mm. I actually drilled a 5 mm hole in the vertical to be able to get the X axis perfect. The hole allows the Allen wrench to loosen the X cross member so you can level it without having to keep removing and adjusting the whole X axis bar.
The verticals need to be square to the base and they are very close. On two I put the triangle rods to get it perfect. I used a machinist square to get it perfect. Smooth is the keyword. You don't want any "jump" from the Z axis (rising axis). Parallel and 90 deg to the bottom frames. After about 6 months I installed the dual Z axis and that was simple enough. This one change made it so I can print the same part over and over up to 100 times without having to tram the bed. Also called leveling. `After some time I learned that he Z limit switch will get out of calibration and that spraying it with canned air removes the dirt or whatever is changing the stop point. I think an LED version would be better.
On the beds, every one of them has had loose axles on the wheels. The 5 mm screws with 8 mm nuts needed to be tightened. To do this you need to loosen the offset wheels so you can get them vertically stable. There should be absolutely NO wobble in the bed. If you feel any, stop and tighten the rollers. I have had to replace three rollers where the bearings were bad and the wheels wiggled on the shafts. Always adjust the cam 10mm so the wheels can move with slight friction. Over tight causes problems and too loose is also bad. Just so they spin with friction. No wobble side to side or when you lift the corners of the bed.
Every screw on the printer needs to be checked for tightness. EVERY screw. Loose screws are a nightmare. Even on my $1000 big printers, all of them needed to have the screws tightened, even the screws under the bed. No wobble and you will have “happy printing”.
I have not put the auto bed leveling on as it actually takes longer to print with it (on my other printers). I use only glass on the beds (I scrapped off the magnetic sheet and cleaned with alcohol) and still use the doubled standard printer paper to set the level. I just got “good” at it. Then when the print starts sometimes, but rarely, I will tweak the adjustments. I usually print a skirt with three lines so I can “feel” the thickness of the first layer.
I did put the stronger bed springs on also, this gives more stability.
I use the Ultimaker Cura (updated)and it has more adjustments than most beginners can use. But as you learn you can make slight adjustments and try them out and see things improve. One of the good things is this printer is so popular you can find lots of YouTube videos to help you. And parts can be found on Aliexpress for the same parts way less. The all come from China, anyway.
I have five of these Ender 3 Pro's now, bought two from Comgrow Amazon, came with the glass bed plates. I print almost exclusively PETG at 248c Nozzle and 85C bed temp, (this makes for very good layer welding) and bought the Creality glass plates and the Bed Weld, water based adhesive so the PETG will let go. The higher temp is to insure both a good layer weld and that the cooling will cause the parts to just come of very easy. Once printed they just come off very easy. If I dry the filament I get almost NO stringing. I can't stress how important dry filament is for nice prints.
The metal flex plates and the ones that come with the printers magnetic plastic do not work with PETG at all. They are ruined after two prints. Glass is the best with the Layerneer Bed Weld and I have no problems with adhesion and removal. Just have to wait for cooling. The prints come off as if nothing was holding them when it cools.
The parts in the photo are actually functional parts that we can't get from a supplier.. So, naturally I made a CAD drawing and made them. The trick with functional parts is to make the plastic about 1/3 thicker than on injection molded, because of the tiny gaps caused by the space between the "lines" of print. It is not 100% solid even if it looks like it is. And most of my prints use 100% infill because hey are parts getting some heavy use.
Overall, it is a good choice and a workhorse printer. For the money it still can't be beaten, That is why the 5 stars. But for those who are “technically challenged”, you may get frustrated with the learning curve. After a few hundred prints you will be a pro. Watch the videos as there are tons of them. There may be equally good or better printers for the price, but the availability of parts, upgrade parts and help resources for these printers is amazing.

- Reviewed in the United States on November 21, 2023Model: CR-10 SEVerified PurchaseThe media could not be loaded.
The CR10 SE is a super ender and is outfitted with upgrades that matter. The linear rails are a huge plus as they are more accurate and will last years with zero maintenance. The pom wheel style x and y axis drive works fine but if you leave your printer untouched for more than a week it is highly likely you get flat spots. Pom wheels also wear out easily over time. Not having linear rails on the z axis is actually preferred. Save the cost where it's not needed.
The rest of the printer is fitted with the best options like 2209 steppers, sensor less x and y homing, led light, upgraded y axis motor (this is really special for this printer), dual z motors also belt synced, and all running on beautiful klipper firmware. You would think they called me on the phone and asked what would I like with my printer lol.
The upgraded y axis motor is a big deal. The way regular enders are set up sadly it is not possible to upgrade that motor as it will not fit the frame. They finally worked one in on the cr10 and I can happily report that it makes this bed fly.
Of course if you want a really fast creality printer you could go for a K1 but there are benefits to the Cr10 style. Honestly I bought a K1 and returned due to bent frame from the factory which was a total fail. I feel it is more of an experimental printer for creality and they have a way to go before they sort out that mess. Fortunately they have redeemed themselves with what they do best, bed slingers. This printer will last you years and is far more easy to repair than any corexy like the k1 or bambu. Every part is easily accessible and replaceable. There are parts on the K1 that if go bad you are out of luck.
Oh yeah and you better believe this thing prints flawlessly. Also the fist layers can't get any better than what this machine can do with 2 types of z homing systems.
So as you can see I have a lot to say and more. This is an underrated monster of a printer and I am surprised not more people are talking about it. This is a Pru$a mk4 destroyer. I will be getting more. Thanks Creality! not sponsored*
5.0 out of 5 starsI have been printing since 2018. I actually have a small farm of enders and each one is upgraded with linear rails, direct drive, skr boards with 2209 steppers and klipper. The day has finally come when creality has answered all my desires in what I would want in an Ender out of the box. The price is right as it would take me roughly an extra $150 and several hours of building and tuning a stock ender 3. Let's not kid ourselves as this really is an ender but on roids. 30 minutes I was up running.Underrated Beast Bed Slinger

The CR10 SE is a super ender and is outfitted with upgrades that matter. The linear rails are a huge plus as they are more accurate and will last years with zero maintenance. The pom wheel style x and y axis drive works fine but if you leave your printer untouched for more than a week it is highly likely you get flat spots. Pom wheels also wear out easily over time. Not having linear rails on the z axis is actually preferred. Save the cost where it's not needed.
The rest of the printer is fitted with the best options like 2209 steppers, sensor less x and y homing, led light, upgraded y axis motor (this is really special for this printer), dual z motors also belt synced, and all running on beautiful klipper firmware. You would think they called me on the phone and asked what would I like with my printer lol.
The upgraded y axis motor is a big deal. The way regular enders are set up sadly it is not possible to upgrade that motor as it will not fit the frame. They finally worked one in on the cr10 and I can happily report that it makes this bed fly.
Of course if you want a really fast creality printer you could go for a K1 but there are benefits to the Cr10 style. Honestly I bought a K1 and returned due to bent frame from the factory which was a total fail. I feel it is more of an experimental printer for creality and they have a way to go before they sort out that mess. Fortunately they have redeemed themselves with what they do best, bed slingers. This printer will last you years and is far more easy to repair than any corexy like the k1 or bambu. Every part is easily accessible and replaceable. There are parts on the K1 that if go bad you are out of luck.
Oh yeah and you better believe this thing prints flawlessly. Also the fist layers can't get any better than what this machine can do with 2 types of z homing systems.
So as you can see I have a lot to say and more. This is an underrated monster of a printer and I am surprised not more people are talking about it. This is a Pru$a mk4 destroyer. I will be getting more. Thanks Creality! not sponsored*

1.0 out of 5 stars Rápida pero no respeta los parámetros
Model: CR-10 SEVerified PurchaseLas primeras capas las imprime casi perfectas, pero de pronto extruye más filamento del necesario, no es posible realizar ajustes de ningún tipo mientras está imprimiendo, lo único qué se puede hacer es cancelar la impresión. Al imprimir directamente con el archivo en la impresora, no respeta las temperaturas. Un dolor de cabeza esta impresora 3d, CR-10 SE

5.0 out of 5 stars Perfecta para iniciarse
Es la primera que tengo y no puedo comparar con otras. Pero es fácil de montar y enseguida estas imprimiendo. Imprime pla perfectamente y tpu con apenas un par de mods que te imprimes tu mismo al igual que otras mejoras.

5.0 out of 5 stars Bester seiner Klasse
Der Drucker funktioniert einwandfrei. Beim Zusammenbau sollte man unbedingt Videos auf YouTube anschauen über Unboxing und Zusammenbau, da man dort wichtige Tipps zur Kalibrierung bekommt.
Es gibt eine rege Community um dieses Gerät. Man findet sehr viele Dinge im Netz, um die Maschine noch komfortabler zu machen. Außerdem findet man unglaublich viele Dinge, die man mit so einem Gerät erzeugen kann. Durch die Größe des Druckraumes und die hohe Verbreitung des Druckers findet man praktisch kaum Dinge, die damit nicht machbar sind. Ach ja. Es geht auch mal was schief, das liegt meistens daran, dass man als unerfahrener Benutzer irgendetwas falsch gemacht hat, z.B. falsche Orientierung des Objektes auf dem Druckbett oder vergessen das Druckbett mit Alkohol zu entfetten.
Ich bin sehr zufrieden mit dem Gerät. Daher: das Preis- Leistungsverhältnis ist absolut in Ordnung.
