Creality Ender 3 MAX Setup and First Impressions... Maximum Value Or Maximum Disappointment?
In this video I will walk you through the set up of the Creality Ender 3 Max and show you what to look for during the assembly of this printer. We will investigate the common errors of 3D printer assembly and some simple considerations for the construction of this machine and 3D printers in general. I hope to provide you with insight into what is involved with putting this printer together if you are considering purchasing this machine. If you have already purchased this printer, I hope this video provides you with the details required to achieve beautiful prints in a short period of time. Looking for Ender 3 Max Upgrades you won't find anywhere else? Then check out my offerings: ► https://embracemaking.com/collections/creality-ender-3-max/Ender-3-Max If you are looking to print the "smooth spool holder" modification shown in the video, see the link below. All I ask in return is that you engage with my content; comment or please like this video and/or the spool holder on my Printables page. ► https://www.printables.com/model/177345-creality-smooth-spool-holder-upgrade If you cannot print in TPU and would like to support my work, you can also purchase the spool holder here: ► https://embracemaking.com/products/creality-smooth-spool-holder Overall I was very pleased with this machine in the short period of time I was able to spend with it. I thought it provided great value relative to the cost of the machine and can be a fun platform for future upgrades. Even without any upgrades, the print quality was excellent considering the lack of dual z lead screws and the generic bowden tube extruder setup. The dual 4010 part cooling fans performed very well and steep overhangs and unsupported bridges printed without issue. I would absolutely recommend this printer to anyone looking for a budget large format printer for general use. You can be up and running in next to no time, especially with so many available slicer profiles for the Ender 3 series of printers.
