Ender 3 S1 X 3D Printer with Direct Drive Extruder, CR Touch Auto Bed Leveling, Dual Z-Axis for Smooth Printing, Silent Motherboard, 220×220×270mm Build Volume – Great for Beginners

Although I have other older Enders I love this one so easy to level have tried difficult prints but failed probably my fault but all an all excellent printer

This was my first 3d printer that I decided to go with due to reviews and successful builds. I was excited to give it a try since I have been using laser and cnc machines for years, it seemed like the obvious next step. While many seem to have luck and positive things to say about this printer, I do not. I settled on this printer due to a bunch of research and forum surfing, to make sure I wasn’t going to buy some piece of garbage. While reviews are helpful, some don’t do things justice. Upon opening the printer and working through the parts, it seemed very straight forward and everything seemed to be of good quality. I had watched and read numerous sources for the assembly so it went quickly and was only a few steps. After getting everything set up, according to multiple sources and Creality, I was excited to get my first print going so I leveled the bed meticulously, got my settings all together, and went to test print a factory provided print. Nothing. Reset settings, trouble shooting from Creality, forum checking. Nothing. I spent two weeks trying to get this printer to work. Not one print the whole time. The printer would not recognize the z axis and would fail to print, even after bed leveling, pre heating and using factory prints. I even disassembled the unit and went through each step again to make sure I didn’t miss anything. Bubkis. I eventually gave up on it and returned it. I bought my runner up on my list of printers, the Flashforge 5m and had it assembled and printing in half an hour with no problems. 20+ prints later and still going. Don’t waste your time with this printer. Go with another brand and save yourself the headache. There are so many out there, I’m sure you will have better luck with a different system.

Not completely entry level but a good start for some one who wants to get in to 3d printing

Had this printer for 3 months now. For the most it is a great printer. Have a glitch right out of the box. BL Touch was bad. I replaced it, and it has been printing flawlessly ever since. The only reason I did not give them five stars is that Creality's customer service is pretty much nonexistent. I purchased a new one on Amazon to get it up and running. 3 months later, I'm still waiting for Ceality to get me a replacement. I would recommend the S1. It is a little workhorse But keep after you get it, you're pretty much on your own.

If I could give it less then this I would I have went through an entire spool of filament and it still won't print right spent hours adjusting every possible setting and it just won't print right ive tried 10 different prints and the default prints it came with and nothing im very disappointed in the brand considering this was the brad I was suggested to everyone said it was easy setup and print that is not the case im packing it up and returning it cause it must have something wrong with the program and try with a different printer

Excelente

Quieter than I was expecting which is a good thing. Bought this for my mom and wanted to get her a 3d printer that just works without hassle or tinkering and the auto level is a must. No complaints

This does not! Don’t waste your money!
