Pros & Cons
Pros
Ease of use, top-notch quality, and dependable performance make it my preferred option for all my printing needs. Perfect for individuals starting out with zero prior knowledge or experience in 3d printing. We are beginners at 3d printing but the ease... Read More
The stamped and bent aluminum pieces are still creality's standard fare. Newer clones or copycats, like the aquila, have a redesigned aluminum. Constructed with high-quality materials and precision manufacturing, it ensures long-term stability and per... Read More
Injection-molded plastic drawer for the supplied tools, screws, etc. Favorite part is the top mount spool holder. Temperature parameters sometimes need to be tweaked.
Both use silent stepper drivers. Vax over at the youtube. Com. A screw in thermistor is on the way and upgraded cooling fans are next.
I have plenty of them, so for me, it was a no-brainer. Works fine. It shipped to me pretty fast. They are kind and responsive to your questions.
Cons
Ender 3 pro is a decent beginner's printer but unfortunately, the customer support from creality is subpar. Not terrible, but not great. Obviously my printer is a cr-10 se!
The printer is currently an oversized paperweight after less than a month. This recycled piece of plastic that is being passed off as a printer is getting boxed back up and returned. It is not worth the effort or expense to fix a 200.
Gantry is of a poor design, three sided extrusions. Extrusion has issues pushing globs or too little at random times. The extruder stepper motor that came with my machine is not the same as advertised on all their machines.
Highlights
Quality
It utilizes stable and reliable printing technology, capable of achieving high precision and consistency throughout printing tasks.
With good materials this this has done multi-hour and even multi-day jobs in fire-and-forget mode just fine.
Easy assembly, had it up and printing in less than an hour.
3d printing doesn't get any easier (if yours is shutting off, check the voltage dip switch (europe screwed up frequency but nailed voltage.
Price
For $10 you get a filament runout sensor for it, and until the point you need a bigger better animal with colors etc - this thi... Read More
I was recommended to get a printer by my professor but didn't want to drop $600 on one.
The value is off the charts with this printer
Overall, it's an outstanding unit, especially considering the price.
Shipping
The first machine had to be shipped back.
Delivery was very fast but was totally blown away with not only the price but how big the unit was.
Packaging/appearance
The packaging was solid, and the instructions, along with helpful videos, ensure a smooth setup process.
I did print the test cat with the out of the box filament and it came out perfect.
We unpacked this one and it works!
Competitiveness
I gave the what i considered the better one, the elegoo and kept the creality.
Seriously, you cannot find a better starter printer for 2x this price.
The creality is a nice unit, in my opinion, i just think the elegoo engineers just did a little better engineering job.
I used the creality slicing software for the first month and eventually switched to cura.

Creality print software does not work on their own printer… let alone finding out it is using an old header name thus making it outdated even with updating the latest firmware from their own web page

However given how much i had to learn and all the issues from the software i would not recommend a new user

However in combination with having some experience in the field and using the nebula pad i feel like i was harsh on my first review but still think creality can do better

Again the printer works great but the software needs to be worked on for the creality ecosystem to thrive

The only problem i had with this printer was getting the creality slicer for the se
