Creality Ender 2 Easy Assemble 3D Printer kit

Product Information

I still have hope that Creality will start packing their machines with stronger bed springs and a glass or PEI bed instead of the sub-par magnetic ones. For my first print, I loaded the provided sample PLA and selected the pre-sliced rabbit from the microSD card.

I was curious just how big this printer could go and stretched Bugman140’s Crystal Vase to fill the Ender 2 Pro’s bed, then printed it in MatterHacker’s White Green Quantum using vase mode.

One model is a rabbit (tuzi) while the others are alternate handles (bashou) and a spaceship to mount on the top of the Ender 2 Pro.

Please check whether the temperature display on the display is normal room temperature without giving the heating command.

You can also see the same inconsistency on some layers where a higher amount of retractions were needed. Creality are not honoring the spirit or the law with the open source Marlin firmware that they supply with the printer, they should make their customizations open. Plastic extruders are known to wear down significantly after a few months of printing, and this can cause issues to arise around the printer’s extrusion.It's the same old Ender-3 3D Printer experience, improved with current hardware that includes a 32-bit mainboard, silent stepper motor drivers, a much cleaner appearance and design, plus plenty of other, smaller, touches.

In this article, we’ll go over ten of the best upgrades you can make to the Ender 2 Pro, including adding automatic bed leveling, switching out the build plate, and more! All these measurements were taken with a Blitzwolf smart power socket which indicates the power draw, and it can also be used for remotely powering on and off the printer. Then you can upgrade this printer with the latest version of Marlin firmware, which includes input shaping - a feature that smooths out unwanted vibrations that can cause unsightly ringing and other imperfections in your print, thereby limiting your print speed.Heat the hotbed to 60~70 degrees Celsius, and then shovel a little bit from the edge with a spatula. These modifications can improve the printing performance, usability, and other aspects of the machine.

Let’s see if the Creality Ender 2 Pro lives up to the expectations and if it manages to dethrone any of the previously mentioned 3D printers. It features a built-in over-current protection, short-circuit protection, and over-temperature protection to ensure that your printer is operating safely and efficiently.

With the Ender 2 Pro, we get a 12864 monochrome screen similar to what we used to get on the older Ender 3.

A huge positive is that it took all of a few minutes to set up from packed in the box to out and printing. I had to add a thin layer of printing adhesive over the print surface to ensure a good adhesion during printing.
