Creality 3D Ender-2 Pro 3D printer Fused Deposition Modeling (FDM)

Product Information

I say this because after printing for a while with it, I found some models which did not fit on the build plate without resizing them while with the Prusa Mini or KP3S, I did not encounter this issue. Aluminum heated bed with removable magnetic print surface With the Ender 2 Pro, however, you have fewer options for upgrades. The situation is different with the Ender 3 V2. Due to the huge community, there are numerous upgrades, both purchasable and printable.

Only the print bed adhesion could be better in some cases. If you have problems with the print bed adhesion, you should increase the print bed temperature a bit, reduce the distance between the nozzle and print bed a bit or use a tool like Magigoo or Blue Tape. Slicer PRINTING: Both 3D printers are very suitable for beginners. The first print is not long in coming and frustration is rare. Due to the very good standard profiles in the slicers, you only have to calibrate very little and can usually start right away.To level (or tram) the print surface, first home the printer, then select “disable steppers” from the Motion Menu. Slide a piece of ordinary paper between the nozzle and the bed. Push the hotend to each corner and adjust the knobs until the paper just catches on the nozzle. Apart from their size, the two print beds of the 3D printers differ greatly. The Ender 3 V2 has the proven textured and removable glass print bed. It is perfectly flat and provides good print bed adhesion for most materials. For some filament types, you may need to use Blue Tape or Magigoo. The Ender 2 Pro isn’t meant to be a powerhouse of a 3D printer, but you still may want to try printing some high-temperature materials such as ABS or ASA. For these materials, though, you’ll need an enclosure to get the best print quality, as these materials like to be surrounded by heat and away from air drafts. Although the Ender 2 Pro doesn’t have a built-in enclosure, there are many options for buying or building one for your printer. The Creality Ender 3 is the clear winner for build volume: it has a substantial volume of 220 x 220 x 250 mm. This is a bit larger than the standard 200mm cube of many 3D printers on the market, but is still small enough that the printer can easily fit on a desk. The extended Z height is convenient to allow for taller parts without increasing the amount of required desk space. The Ender 2 Pro has a smaller build volume of 165 x 165 x 180 mm, which is large enough for general use, but can definitely be a limiting factor especially for functional parts. Assembly Complexity

But this is not a big deal, because you can easily print one yourself. I printed the extruder wheel myself as one of the first objects. OPERATION: The Ender 3 V2 has the edge in terms of operation. The color display is larger and the menu is clearer. You can also reach all important settings in no time with the Ender 2 Pro, but the menu of the Ender 3 V2 is arranged more sensibly and is nicer to look at. The Creality Ender 2 Pro is suitable for all creative minds and those who want to become one. Due to its low price and ease of use, it is particularly recommended for beginners who want to make their first experience with a 3D printer. It has extensive functions and a handcrafted appearance that inspires you to turn your ideas into reality. The Creality Ender 2 Pro has an option to adjust the Z height while printing, called Babystep Z. This is located under Tune in the main menu and is only visible while the printer is printing. Negative numbers lower the nozzle, while positive numbers move it up.

Affordable, portable and easy to use.

But the K1 is not just about speed, it is also a real revolution in terms of functionality and versatility. Its spacious build space of 220x220x250 gives you plenty of room to create, allowing you to bring your boldest ideas to life. Whether it's a sophisticated architectural model or a functional prototype, the K1 handles complexity with ease and delivers exceptional precision with every print. Light and Portable, you can carry Ender-2 Pro 3d printer everywhere: As light as 4.65kg, with a size comparable to a desktop fan. Equipped with an easy-to-carry handle, its lightweight design makes it super easy to move. Older user interface - Both the Ender 3 and Ender 2 Pro have the same interface, utilizing a knob-controlled single-color LCD. More premium 3D printers tend to use larger multi color LCDs which use touch screens. Idle power draw is around 10W. When the hotend and heatbed are heating up, the Creality Ender 2 Pro draws around 160W. After it starts printing, the power draw stabilizes to around 70W. Oproti jiným výrobkům s odkrytým zdrojem napájení nabízí integrovaná modulární konstrukce vestavěný zdroj napájení, který zvyšuje bezpečnost a snižuje problémy s instalací.

At around 45 decibels, it is slightly louder than the Ender 3 V2. The difference is not great, but it is noticeable. The Ender 3 V2 has TMC2208 stepper motor drivers which are a sought-after upgrade for many low-budget 3D printers. This makes the stepper motors much quieter. In addition, the Ender 3 V2 can still be upgraded with quiet fans, which could make it even quieter. Print Speed Chcete-li tiskárnu přizpůsobit svým osobním potřebám a preferencím, můžete si snadno sami vylepšit rukojeť 3D tiskárny a popustit uzdu své kreativitě při výběru tvaru a barev. Samonosná konstrukce, vyztužená pevným blokem osy Z, zajišťuje lehký design a stabilitu během celého procesu tisku. The Resume Print feature has become a standard. This feature ensures that a power failure cannot completely ruin your print. The Resume Print feature allows the 3D printer to resume printing exactly where it was interrupted by the power outage. The stepper motors move the individual axes via the toothed belts. The toothed belts must be correctly tensioned so that they cannot slip or tear. With many low-budget 3D printers, the adjustment of the toothed belt tension is often very laborious and only possible with tools.

Reviews

If you don’t mind the slightly higher price of the Ender 3 V2 and the size difference, the Ender 3 V2 is slightly ahead of the Ender 2 Pro. That’s simply because it has a larger print volume, more upgrades, and a larger community. At only 4.65 kg, the Ender 2 Pro is significantly lighter than its bigger brothers. A handle makes it easy to transport the device. Despite these upgrades, compared to the original Ender 2, the 2 Pro still isn’t perfect with its fair share of flaws. Both printers use a Bowden style extruder, where the extruder mechanism is separate from the hot end, and connected with a length of PTFE tube. Bowden style extruders work well for standard materials and allow for a lighter hot end, however they struggle to print flexible materials like TPU. It is possible to print these materials, but the extruder can jam often and requires very slow print speeds. If you want to print with flexible materials like TPU, you should set the speed to 30 mm/s maximum. Higher speeds could cause filament jams or poor print quality with flexible materials. Handling
