3IDEA CR-M4 Largest FDM 3D Printer 2024 25-Point CR-Touch Auto-Leveling Flexible & Fast-Heating Plate Ind Grade Dual Y-axis Linear Rails 450 * 450 * 470mm

The media could not be loaded. Perfect DIY printer for the enthusiast/amateur. I've been watching how-to videos for assembling most of these creality printers, and this wasn't any different. Took some 90 minutes to assemble the whole and got it working in minutes.The first print came out really good, except that the print came off the bed, turning everything into a mess 😢. So, I have increased the rafting and increased the bed temperature to 70 for the first few layers. I've also used some adhesives(glue stick) to enable the print to stick better on to the bed. This resolved the issue of print not sticking to the bed during printing. Whatever glue or adhesivebyou might want to use is fine, because the carborundum glass bed is easy to clean.The Creality Ender 3 v2 is an awesome printer to start on your 3d printing journey. The meanwell power supply(24v) let's the printer work smoothly and keeps it running with enough juice for the steppers and the heaters.The carborundum glass bed is just awesome! Might not be a good holder for the print, but a little adhesives and the right temperatures during initial raft layers will resolve the non-sticking bed issue.Creality Ender 3 v2 is much silent than its elder brothers(Ender 3 and Ender 3 pro). The belt tensioners, extra tool tray, are all great additions for the Creality Ender 3 v2 alone. Print quality is super awesome, and there wasn't any threading even on my first print.I love this printer, it's a real value-add into my DIY tools and have not added any upgrades so far.Much recommended for an amateur if the price is between ₹23k and ₹25k. I've first thought of buying the CR-6 SE, which also has trinomic power supply and dual Z-axis lead screw traction, but other than these 2 additions, the CR-6 SE is same as the Creality Ender 3 v2.The test print 3D Benchie came out perfect without any bridging issues, and I've also printed a robot end effector(servo driven) out of the 300gms white filament supplied with the printer. The printer can print from PLA, PETG and TPU(slow) without much upgrades.

The product comes in a kit form and you'll have to assemble yourself so it isn't for the faint of heart. Since I'd already read couple of reviews, I was mentally prepared for it and Ender 3 being a popular 3D printer, there are lots of assembly videos out there on YouTube. Still it took me around 2 hours to fully assemble it and start leveling.You'll not need need any additional tools. All the necessary tools are already provided in the kit including some test filament as well and extra screws. Better order an additional filament spool as you would not want to wait for it to arrive once everything is ready.The print quality is acceptable on standard quality and I haven't tried highest quality yet because it will take ages and I lack patience for it. The motherboard and motors are absolutely silent. My inkjet makes more noise than that. The glass surface is great as the print adheres to it properly but it takes some effort to remove the print from it.The only problem I encountered was with the Z axis end stop (picture attached). Normally you attach it by aligning the notch with base but it didn't work for me because the printing surface would then hit the Y-axis motor in the back. Probably manufacturing defect or some tolerance issue. I resolved it by attaching the stop little bit higher so that the printing surface would leave some space with Y axis motor. That said and with some experimenting on leveling, the printer is good to go.One final thing, in my experience, the print quality at 100% speed is just too bad. Reducing the speed to 50% (hence doubling print time) gives you the best results.Some gotchas: Since this model does not have automatic bed levelling, you'll have to manually level the surface each time before the print. I do recommend getting a 3d touch/CR touch automatic automatic bed levelling sensor to avoid this hassle.All in all it's a great entry level, beginner friendly 3d printer which is absolutely silent and works as expected.

After using it for one month here are some key points:Pros:1. I would say print quality is superb (if I compare other printers in this price range)2. It works great with ABS, PETG and ABS. Not great but decent print quality for material like TPU( adjust your slicer settings for better print quality)3. Very silent printer.4. User friendly display.5. Sturdy frame. Though my Z axis has little movement (very small) when I apply pressure intensionally. This is because this printer has only one lead screw on Z axis.6. Loading/unloading of filament is simple.Cons:1. I found default bed doesn't provide good adhesion. So I flipped it and it has smooth glass texture at the back. Prints stick perfect on this surface (recommend). Also clean the bed surface area with alcohol every time.2. Bed leveling springs are of poor quality. You can replace them with good one otherwise check your bed leveling once in a while.3. If your Power goes off in the middle of the printing, you can use Resume Print feature. But the problem is it repeats the last layer from start and continue further.Also sometimes nozzle sticks to your print due to clogging and displaces prints from the bed resulting is failed print. So I suggest run this printer over Inverter or use UPS.Overall this is very good printer and I am happy with my purchase.

Disgusting experience. A defective old scratched torn piece was send with defective motors. It was an intentional thing.Thanks to Amazon, they have processed me the refund.

It's been 1:5 yrs since I bought . It is wonderfully working . But one has to have good knowledge of the printer so that any issues he shd b able to solve . My son printer is continuously working for last 1:5 yrs . It has given him tremendous knowledge,things happiness and enjoyment. It's like a machine and he manufacture the product s.
