CREALITY ENDER 3V2!!! the 3D printer you need for 2021
Which filament for Ender 3?
The advantage of the Ender 3 and Creality machines is that they are open. We call "open" printers that are compatible with all brands of filament and where it is not necessary to use exclusively filament from the printer's brand. The latter therefore makes it possible to print a very wide range of materials and brands.
PLA filament
PLA filament is the easiest to print, beyond the fact that it is a bioplastic, it melts at temperatures that all printers on the market can easily reach and does not undergo any deformation when printing. If this is your first print with your Ender 3, we advise you to use PLA filament: you will get a satisfactory result in any case. The other advantage comes from the diversity present with this PLA material, you will find a lot of colors, and effects (matte, shiny, …), as well as PLA Tough which have the particularity of being stronger than classic PLA . Because, indeed, the big lack of this material is its low resistance to heat and mechanical resistance.
Other materials
Materials such as flexible or PETG require adapting the material profile of your Slicer in order to adapt temperatures, ventilation, retraction and printing speed. This will allow you to obtain standard results with other types of filament than PLA filament. Once this first test is done, you can then adjust the parameters of your Slicer so that it best suits your needs and the results you are looking for. On this subject, our materials expert Charly can support you and train you in these needs.
A box for better printing
A great promise and yet it is nothing new in 3D printing. You may have noticed that many other 3D printers are "housing" and not the Ender 3.
These "casings" or 3D printer boxes allow you to regulate the temperature of the printing chamber, which changes a lot of things when you want to go further with your 3D printer.
For PLA, printed with a box (door closed), will bring an increase in the interlayer bond, which will considerably improve the hold and the solidity of the part. Conversely, printing without a box or with the door open will allow you to obtain parts with a prettier but less resistant exterior appearance.
For printing ABS filament, we recommend using the Ender 3 closed box, otherwise you risk encountering a "Warping" effect when printing your parts. As with PLA filament, this will affect the final resistance of the part, which would be a shame because ABS is generally chosen for its ability to be resistant.
