I just upgraded my 3D printer with an Ender 3 S1 Pro. All I can say is WOW! It was unboxed, set up and printing in 30 minutes.
I'm actually excited about 3D printing again! My old printer was such a pain, which made me reluctant to use it.

I had an old CR-10 first gen and the improvements here are drastic. Definitely worthwhile for me to buy this versus trying to upgrade the old one. More time for videos!

I'm the same way. I have 2 printers collecting dust. Main pain for me is leveling them all the time.

Yeah this one has the auto levelling which is what I had been waiting for! Totally love it.

I plan on buying a 3D printer in the next 6 months. It will be my first foray into 3D printing. Would you recommend this model or something else?

I watched a review of it before I bought, and was instantly sold. It's an awesome printer and I'm sure happy with it. The printer is like their lower models with all the cool upgrades and mods already done.

I'd love to hear your experience with it. I've got a couple printrbots and they are as much art as science to use effectively.

This was just kind of plug and play. Set the z-offset. Then auto level. Fred in my old PLA and hit print. It just worked so far for me. Will finally upgrade to PETG filament :-)

It was a first gen Creality CR-10. It never broke down but was always just a pain to get it levelled and getting prints to stick. Plus a Bowden extruder sucks.

I've seen so many problems with enders that they scare me. My prusa works pretty well.

That reminds me, I still need to print replacement clips for my Power Macintosh. Broke all of them taking off the cover

I'm totally amazed by it. Especially as the motor control results in basically silent operation. I just hear the extruder fan from across the room.

The Ender 3 is a good work horse of a printer. I have a basic one that has hundreds of hours of print time on it. It keeps on tickin.

Now all you need is a little 3d scanner and you can make all sorts of missing panels & knobs.

Great printer dude, I have an E3 Pro from 2018 that is so modded it's unrecognizable. Dual z steppers, direct drive all metal, glass bed, silent steppers, Octoprint on a Pi3b+...
