SainSmart x Creality Ender-3 3D Printer
Cost Effective
By eliminating the high retail markup, SainSmart is able to offer a sensible package with unrivaled quality in the entry-level space. The compact design allows Ender-3 to fit in the trunk of your car or even back seat, while still providing 6x more build volume than other entry-level printers.
High Precision & Noiseless
The CNC-machined Y-axis mounting slot ensures highly precise positioning of the printer head. V-slot POM (polyoxymethylene) wheels allow the nozzle to glide smoothly and silently.
No Clogging or Warping
Our patented extruder design greatly reduces the risk of a clogged nozzle. There’s no need for printing tape or glue due to the incorporation of a new viscous platform sticker.
Fast Heating & Resume Print Feature
The heated bed can reach its operating temperature in just five minutes. The printer is shielded by its power supply from voltage spikes and power outages. If electrical power is lost, prints can be resumed from the last layer, saving time and reducing waste.
Semi-Assembled
This easy-to-setup kit comes partially assembled, allowing you to learn about the basic construction of 3D printers as you finish putting it together. A fun STEM educational experience in mechanical engineering and electronics.

Characteristics

Resume Print
If electrical power is lost, prints can be resumed from the last layer when powered back on, saving time and reducing wasted filament!

Without Clogging
Our patented MK-10 extruder design greatly reduces the risk of a clogged nozzle.

Fast Heating
A high-watt density hotbed provides rapid heating, reaching its operating temperature in 5 minutes or less!

Large Build Volume
The 8.7 x 8.7 x 9.8" (220x220x250mm) build area allows you to create large and complex models.

Tips about Levelling
If you happened to receive a severely bowed bed plate after unboxing, please contact us immediately for a replacement. If it is a slight curve (±0.2mm), you could manage to fix it through the following steps.
- Adjust the bed step-by-step according to the User Manual (see page 20). If the central part is uneven while the corners are flat, please try to level the bed on each of the four corners meticulously.
- After finishing the steps on the manual, if it is still uneven, please try to print by adding raft in CURA.

The printer works as advertised. I printed out some upgrades. And ordered a few better parts. But for the price I paid it’s ok to have to get some extra stuff.

I had a great experience ordering through Sain Smart. This is my second Ender 3. It came in perfect condition and the shipping was very quick. When I first received it, I immediately did quick power up test with the control panel connected. The power supply, main board, control panel and factory connected peripherals all powered up and operated as intended. After ordering I emailed about some questions I had and customer support responded with in 24 hours. This whole process happened a week before christmas. I look forward to ordering through Sain Smart in the future. I would love to see more all metal hot end and extruder upgrade parts in their product list, but I understand that there are contractual boundaries to business relationships.

excellent product will buy again

Awesome experience. Product packaged very good.

This is now my 4th Ender 3 and my 3rd SainSmart machine. I have had very positive results from the machines and will continue supporting them.

First Ender 3, started with and Ender 3 Pro, then a CR10s Pro. Modified and upgraded the original printers. This will be modified with the spare Swiss Micro hot end, and drive system from 3 Pro for TPU material straight way. Ender 3 Pro getting a Swiss Micro direct drive with pancake extruder motor, so it can move full height and not crash the hot end drive. Love the modifiability of these printers. Great starter and learning machine, the basic are all there and the You Tube support is extensive. Great first timer machine.

Very easy to assemble but if you go to the Creality web site you will find a better set of instructions, which I downloaded and printed out.it is 14 pages long but is you can use two sided printing it is down to just 7 pages. The test print that came on the SD card took 5 hrs and 33 minutes to print but the detail was amazing. Just go through the steps for leveling the bed and yuou will not have any problems.

I fought for hours against the unhelpful and ambiguous pictures, together with the totally missing text instructions, to try to assemble the machine before I finally realized that I needed to search YouTube for help, where I found mention of more complete instructions on the included SD card. There was no mention of this in the included, printed, "Quick Start" manual -- that would have been nice to know before I reached the point where I was ready to pitch everything out the window.

Great for the beginner to learn to 3D print. Good quality machine that will do many projects for the experienced as well.

I own 4 of these printers. They are work great once you figure out each of their little quirks. I use each of them on a constant basis for building props and other little doodads for around the house. They are the work horses of my shop and I couldn't be happier. The build plate size is pretty on par with other printers. The full size of the printer is nice and fits nicely on a sturdy shelf or desktop. As for the position of the spool holder, I have mine coming off of the size and I have found that to be less stressful on the filament. There are tons of upgrades and things you can print out to make your printer unique. If you are looking for a sturdy and well built printer, this is what you need.
