    This is from the site:

    1. The shipping fee for sending the phone back to us will be paid by customers except for DOA (damaged on arrival) situations. 2. During the return shipping, the customer is responsible for any and all customs charges, excise duties or tariffs during the item return to China. In these cases we will deduct the customs fees from your authorised refund amount.So as it is coming from Germany, there will be no customs charges, and if you buy it using PayPal, you can get up to £15 off the return delivery fee paid for.

    I have an ender 3 pro and I love it. It works great.

    3d printing is not like a regular printer though, be prepared for a lot of figuring out and tinkering to get it working well. There are loads of model for prints available on thingiverse, but creating your own designs are really where 3d printing shines.

    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 ;)

    For anyone on the fence.

    I bought an Ender 3 at the start of lockdown and it was some of the best money I've ever spent. Incredible value.

    Kept me sane locked up at home.

    As others have said, its not "set and forget". There is tweaking. But that's part of the fun.

    Just bought this, thanks OP. Actually not sure why I bought it

    This was posted on HUKD and did not get much heat ? Am i missing anything ?


  • Registered Users Posts: 3,097 ✭✭✭el Fenomeno


    Question about ThingVerse. When you find something you want to print, can you resize it?

    ie. If something on ThingVerse measured 10 x 20, would it be easy to resize it so it's half the size, 5 x 10?


  • Registered Users Posts: 2,115 ✭✭✭lau1247


    This was posted on HUKD and did not get much heat ? Am i missing anything ?

    Looking at some youtube videos regarding review, some prices mentioned appeared to be around 200-250 dollars (I didn't pay too much attention to the exact figures). Maybe that could be it, that it wasn't that big of a reduction..


    I'm tempted myself to try it.. ahh decisions decisions

    Yeah most slicers will allow you scale your print down, you can even scale down one axis at a time

    Anyone pull the trigger on this? DHL shipped to An Post and currently sitting in Parcel Hub for the last 5 days so wondering if anyone else was the same.

    so has anyone actually done anything personally useful with their 3D printer?

    many people seem to print 3 or 4 mono-colour star wars figurines and then it's rarely/ never used again

    I can see some hobbies (e.g. models etc) really benefiting but not too sure about the case for most.


  • Registered Users Posts: 2,694 ✭✭✭Dingatron


    For me it's really a new hobby as the winter months come in. I expect I'll probably get the most out of it from the initial build and setup, adding a few upgrades and Octoprint via Rasperry Pi for remote printing etc. I've a list of stuff I want to print and some family requests also. Lastly I want to learn how to design my own prints through Tinkercad or Fusion so it'll keep me busy for a while anyway.

    Spice rack, under cabinet echo show holder, pot, battery holder, various upgrades for the printer itself, plant clips, brio train track connectors, lego, duplo parts, etc

    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


  • Registered Users Posts: 228 ✭✭mickotoole


    I pulled the trigger on this deal. I got my printer about 2 weeks ago and for me it's probably one of the best buys I've made through BA. There are so many options available to print. I've printed some upgrades for the printer itself, I've printed some key chains for the kids with their names, I've printed a MacBook holder, I've printed accessories for the office. If you're into diy or gadgets (or both) this is the right job.

    Thanks op for sharing this BA

    What filament do people recommend for this and where is best to get it? I just pulled the trigger at €164.

    I'm actually printing the same print right now using a different filament than the first and I can tell you that this filament is excellent, better than the other. The one I'm using now is PLA filament from a crowd called Geeetech. I can't find it on any of the slicing software but it's performing very well. The other filament I purchased was eSun PLA+ and it's been doing ok but I have been getting stringing issues etc. I purchased both spools on Amazon. Good luck and happy printing

    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 :D ) 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.

    +1 on learning the basics mainly bed levelling. Once you've got your bed levelled it's pretty easy to get up and running.

    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.

    I just finished printing the Sliding Legolini cross bow, building it as we speak. Took about half a roll of filament I'd guess and it's a pretty big print.
    Crossbows are illegal in this country, in case you didn't know.

    Not your ornery onager

    I did not, probably should have checked that first. Thanks for the heads up.


  • Registered Users Posts: 5,741 ✭✭✭podgeandrodge


    How strong is the stuff these print? Is it like hard plastic or wood strength? Could you sit on a table made with it? Thanks for previous answers.

    Worried about the price of filament, how many rolls like that would it take to make the flower pot in your picture?
