3d printing is not like a regular printer though, be prepared for a lot of figuring out and tinkering to get it working well.
100% this.
Dialling and getting up and printing is totally worth it though.
Between Thingiverse and all3dp aswell making your own bits and designs in blender, aswell as my kid using our printer for portions of his LC art projects it is a very handy and versatile piece of kit.
But...
They take a lot of work, a lot of fiddling and if you change filament type be prepared to start fiddling and refining all over again

got my ender 3 Pro around 2 months ago. Lots of tinkering, but I love it. Have spent a few euros on upgrades like silent board, glass bed, silent fans, etc... Great hobby
So, in a nutshell, how long will it take before someone can understand this enough to 'print' something actually worthwhile - is this something that requires a lot of patience and learning or reasonably easy?
Does one of those £7.95 filaments make something bigger than a biro?

I picked mine up about a month or so ago (thanks OP
) and got up and running pretty quick. I spent the few days waiting for delivery by watching Youtube videos which really helped knowing what to expect with bed levelling and basic troubleshooting. 1kg of filament lasts for a good while.
Since getting it I've picked up a glass bed and replaced one of the hotend connectors (my fault for being rough). Overall if you have the money to spare, it's a great hobby. I've even managed to print some practical stuff such as a new leg for a couch and replacement clips for the retractable washing line.0 -
+1 on learning the basics mainly bed levelling. Once you've got your bed levelled it's pretty easy to get up and running.podgeandrodge wrote: »So, in a nutshell, how long will it take before someone can understand this enough to 'print' something actually worthwhile - is this something that requires a lot of patience and learning or reasonably easy?

The unit comes flat packed so there is some assembly required at first but again YouTube is your friend here. I had it assembled and printing within an hour.
€7.95 filament might cause issues with your print.0 -

Point #2 at the top says says "as it is coming from Germany".
Though then again, point #1 includes "during the item return to China". And also refers to it as a phone.
Regardless, if you click the link there's an option on the store page to choose which warehouse you want it from.
Somebody please talk me out of buying this on impulse.0 -

Going to talk you into buying it
On the official Creality store, the price of the Ender 3 Pro is 176 Eur and if you select to ship from Czech, there should be nothing additional to pay VAT wise.
They have a promotion at the moment, if you buy 2 items (Basically any two item, the printer count as one item). You get another 5% off. (You will see that they have $5-$15 off on sign up at the top of the page, youo can pretty much ignore that. They cannot be stacked and it has minimum buy limit [i.e. 5 off for order over 100, 10 off for order over 300 and 15 off for order over 600]. So you're better off taking the 5% off when you buy two items)
In my opinion, if you are buying Ender 3 Pro, probably worth looking at Ender 3 V2 which is only 227 Eur. As with everything, do your own research first.
Personally I pulled the trigger on Ender 5 Pro this week with a PEI built plate (because I heard the stock plate is hit and miss).
Well, I hope you are convinced or at least find this useful.
********
Caveat 1: Make sure it is the CREALITY OFFICIAL - because there is an '.eu' web address version which is a reseller (??) disguising as Creality from what I can see on Reddit which was confusing when I was looking initially (Looks very similar - But you can tell because the contact page uses a Gmail address which give you all the hint).
Caveat 2: The Creality official store will show the price in Eur but when you check out it will only allow you to pay in USD. So take that into account and do your own check after conversion from your card you use.West Dublin, ☀️ 7.83kWp ⚡5.66 kWp South West, ⚡2.18 kWp North East

This is kind of a how long is a piece of string question. But I think you could make a table you could sit on from 3d printing.
As another poster mentioned, infill does have a roll to play in strength, but a more important factor is the design of the print and the orientation you print it
If you took a shelf bracket and printed it with the L of the bracket on the plate it would insanely stronger than the same bracket printed standing up. The weakest parts of the 3d prints are where the layers meet, so when designing or printing a piece, you should aim to not have the layers where it will experience the force.
For the shelf bracket example, the force will all be experienced at the corner and it will be all vertical forces, so if you printed the piece standing up on the print bed, where the layers meet would experience this force and it break much easier than the other way around.
Now, a better question might be why would you want to build a table out of 3d printing
I love it for designing bespoke solutions to problems, but I find it too slow to print things that there are other solutions to. I would never print shelf brackets for example, they are 50c in Ikea and they would take me 6-8 hours to print a pair of them.0 -

Thanks OP. I always love it when people post bargains for essential everyday products. I don't know how I survived this long without my 3D printed This Is Fine meme dog, which is fresh off the printer after 44 hours from start to finish.
