    I wanted to buy a 3D printer from long time but not getting enough motivation as I am not sure what will I print with it.
    Can you guys please share, what fun things you print with it.

      I got one a couple of weeks ago. It’s been fun to learn but has a learning curve.

      Things I’ve printed so far
      Mask clips (to strap behind your head and take pressure off the ears)
      Wii pro controller stands
      Eufy camera mounts
      Speaker brackets

      I got an Ender 3 just over a week ago - I've found joy in printing attachments for it so far!

      I've printed a miniature model for dnd that came out really well given the machine is stock.

      I need to make a replacement back brace for a piece of ikea furniture so I'm going to make a drill jig so I can align the holes I need and drill straight

      I've enjoyed building and learning how it all works enough that i feel I've already got $200 of entertainment out of it

      I like to look at /r/functionalprint, plenty of great ideas there.

    • Failbike on 19/07/2021 - 19:07

      I have a 101hero that's a few years old, it's pretty trash and I can't print anything that isnt solid or that needs details. I don't have the patience to sit there for 30mins after each print to re-align each pylon to keep it level for slightly better results.

      Some prints that worked:
      - McDonalds nugget sauce holder for car AC vent
      - Filament guide for the printer
      - Glass plate holder *3 (one flexes slightly so it can be removed) for the printing bed thing to keep it in place
      - Cable guide for the printer
      - Plant ladders for seedlings

      I've tried to print other things but it just never comes out right.
      OctoPrint is very neat for printing to it.

      AFAIK these ender printers either come with or can be modified to have an auto-leveler.

    • coffeeinmyveins on 19/07/2021 - 22:13
      +4

      TBH depends what camp you fit into.

      You'll either be a maker or a creator. If you're a creator, you'll create 3d models and print them. They could be functional for your house, or just ornamental. If you're a maker, you'll probably just browse thingiverse and print things there. Sounds like you'd be a maker since you're asking this question.

      So am I, and I have this printer. Some things I've printed:

      • a 40cm long container ship for my nephew with about 50 containers (weighs 1.2kg)
      • a magnetic plane puzzle
      • Roses for my gf
      • headphone holder in the shape of daffy duck that I painted

      etc

      • ameyas7 on 20/07/2021 - 09:56

        Or you can always start as a maker and then push your creative side when you get the hang of it. Your last point does indicate mix of both. However small it may be to start with :-)

      I haven't really printed a bunch of "fun things" with mine, but I use it fairly frequently for more practical applications. That includes fixing a lot of little broken things around the house like curtain hangers, plastc handles on a bag, mounting brackets etc. When my parents Koi pond filter had a major failure and stopped functioning, I 3d printed a number of components in an hour that kept it running for a month while they sourced a new unit. I've also built 3 - 4 different "structures" for different electronics projects I've been working on.

      I find it an invaluable tool around the house and wouldn't be without one.

      Honestly, this is such a great printer for the price. I bought one when they just came out for $500 and its fantastic.

      I would say I have maybe 1 in 20 prints fails if they are complex designs, other than that I haven't had a failed print since December.

    • Ironh59 on 19/07/2021 - 19:39

      This printer is a good start. There is a learning curve but the print quality is really good. Take your time assembling it and follow YouTube videos, instead of useless manual it comes with. I had a few failed prints with V1 in the beginning, but mostly user errors. There are few things I wish I was told before getting into it:

      1. How to properly level the bed, and change to better quality springs

      2. I used the print bed that came with it, and the print won’t come off without breaking. I started using glass bed and coated it with 10% PVA glue solution. Never had any issues again.

      3. Octoprint through Raspberry Pi. Makes it so much easier

      4. How to use supports

      5. Where to buy filament from: I buy eSun from Cubictech. I have had only one bad filament from them so far, their silk yellow range. Everything else works well

      I am using it more than I thought I would. And our friends and family love the things we print for them. Thingiverse is a good source for printable STLs before you start designing your own stuff.

    • SnertBuzz on 20/07/2021 - 10:36

      Was in the same boat a few months back, ended up with the 5 pro.
      Main thing that won me over was the bed on 5 pro only move down in Z axis while printing, so if you print a tall object it won't wobble too much.
      In terms of build volume, you have an extra 50mm height on 5 pro, again handy if you're printing tall objects.
      5 pro comes with metal extruder vs plastic on 3 V2, and also capricorn tube vs standard PTFE tube.
      Both of them are less than $20 each to upgrade, so no biggie.
      260c nozzle temp compared to 200c on 3 V2, helps with experimenting with different filaments.
      You also got higher bed temp, but for the types of filament you can print with the standard hot end, the 100c on 3 V2 is enough anyway.

      Overall, happy with my 5 pro so far.

      Absolutely. I've got 5 printers now, Ender 3, Ender 3 Pro (both modified to have the silent stepper drivers that are included in the Ender 3 v2) and 3 other more junk ones…
      The Ender 3 series are the best one to start on, lots of room for modifications but will also print really well out of the box :)

      • lachhelix on 19/07/2021 - 19:32

      I'm happy with mine, can get good quality prints especially for the price.

      I am yet to fit a BLTouch and hookup to a octoprint server on a RPi4 (next weekend's project).

      The immediate upgrades are Bowden tube and bed springs which is about $30 on Amazon for it all.

      If you're interested I did a vid on my first couple weeks with the Ender 3 V2 and cover all the initial things I had to do to get up and running and basic slicer settings :)

      • jelicano on 19/07/2021 - 19:22

        awesome , will check it out. With everything you've spent for the upgrades would you still do it again or jump on a different model? if so which one?

        • camshandez on 19/07/2021 - 19:33
          +1

          Im happy with it, the non-level glass plate I got may be a Unlucky chance but I was happy enough to sort it out with foil (covered the issue in the vid).

          But yeah for my first personal printer I'm very pleased, and the level of support online and cheap parts makes it a great buy but Maybe someone else can chime in that maybe has owned a few other models :)

      This is an excellent first printer. Highly recommended. As someone who owns far, far, far too many….
      A rare gem that is good — and good out of the box.
      You may need to align the eccentric pulley's on the running wheels on the x and y axis, but that's about it.

    • Reviveme on 19/07/2021 - 20:24

      Ye this is one of the best entry level printers. I personally would get the Voxelab aquila which was recommended on another ozbargain post, it's the exact clone of the e3v2 for ~$80-100 less. I use the $100 and bought filaments and some upgrades.
      But you won't go wrong with this deal either. The e3v2 have a big community so if anything goes wrong a youtube video or somebody probably can help you.

  • slowmo on 19/07/2021 - 19:22

    as someone new to 3d printing, which is the best no dramas printer? this series or prusa ?

    • cristtos on 19/07/2021 - 19:43
      +1

      Prusa is a different class. If you have money for the Lexus - get a Prusa, else if you have only for Toyota - get an Ender3V2.
      Note that Prusa needs FULL assembly (good learning though) while E3V2 comes partly assembled.
      Anyway - it is great fun, particularly once you start getting a handle on designing stuff in a 3D program like openSCAD (or Blender, or many others available)
      A "sample" of available stuff to download models and print is https://www.thingiverse.com/
      There are FB groups of 3D printing for OZ or for your local area, many helpful people ready to assist.

      Get into it and enjoy!

    • Ausdave on 19/07/2021 - 21:17

      My suggestion is to invest only a little money in 3D printing, and upgrade to a better printer (eg. Prusa) if you continue.

      I own 2 ender 3 pros and 2 ender 3 v2, which equates to one prusa printer price.

    • Corapmafya on 19/07/2021 - 22:14
      +1

      Start cheap to learn and if you find you're still interested in 6 months splash out for the Prusa.

    • deadpoet on 19/07/2021 - 22:44

      Prusa is on another level altogether, but also costs around 5x more (~AUD $1500+). Having owned a Creality CR-10S and then a Prusa MK3 for 3 years, there's no comparison, the Prusa is far easier and less hassle to run. You can get cheaper printers to run just as well, but you'll spend far more time tweaking and maintaining them.

      Doesn't mean you won't have any dramas with a Prusa, it is still an FDM 3D printer after all, but it's definitely one of the more robust designs.

      Price-wise, it's impossible to beat the Ender series for sheer value.

    • Praeto on 20/07/2021 - 08:33

      I have both and use the Prusa 90% of the time, but it's not really a fair comparison given the price difference. This unit is very good for the price.

      It is roughly average price. Not terrible, not great. Lots of the ones at $275 etc are multi listings which have both Ender 3s or Ender 3 Pros and v2s.

The one piece of advice I have is to buy a Creality magnetic print bed mat thingy - completely eliminates any bed adhesion issues, which are definitely a problem with the glass bed. Also makes removing finished prints a breeze as it’s flexible. This is the one I bought:

      Orrr you could of bought the Aquila for $200~ and flashed Alexes Merlin fork for a better built and cheaper E3v2. The current V1 are pretty much the same as the v2 only difference being the handle, vertical screen and filament runout. The N32 V1 has the upgrades fans, PCB and possible plastic update on the feeder so with thr saving could of bought 3 rolls of decent filament
