Hey 3dprinting! I want to buy a 3d printer for my little sister for Christmas. She’s big into cosplay and engineering. I expect her to make props/and little container for things. Nothing crazy. I was looking at the ender 3 models but was unsure if that was the right pick. Just wanted to know if you had any advice. Budget is 2-300.
Does she like to tinker and engineer for hours? Then an ender like printer is golden and cheap. Does she just like to print by pressing 3 buttons and not work with the printer but the prints then there are out of the box printers for that as well. Really depends. Does she want insane speed? Corexy also exists. Theres a printer for every use.
Ender 3 V3 KE. Skip SE version.
Sovol SV06 or the bigger Sovol SV06 Plus Well, within the budget
I’ve heard nothing but good things about these, if I didn’t have a Bambu I’d definitely look into getting one
ender 3s are projects, the require constat tuning and adjustments to make sure their print quality is good
like half the time I use mine I have to adjust bed spring and the z axis v-rollers because they get stuck and make the x axis not parallel to the bed
