Hi folks,
I’ve been watching too many video reviews and just want a little bit of advice before I make my purchase. I’m wanting to get into 3d printing with the most satisfying results possible for around $600 CAD .
I’m looking at the Ender 5 S1 , currently for $599 CAD on Amazon. It does what I want , I think, it gets nice and hot (300C) , can use lots of different materials, auto levels, uses.usb and wifi, is quick and has a cube frame.
I suspect I would be quite happy with it. But before I go and pull the trigger, is there anything else around this price range , say plus or minus $100 , that would be better? If so what advice can you give? What models should I investigate.
I wound up going with the Sovol SV06 Plus over the Ender 5 S1. Have you looked into that one yet? Biggest difference is it’s not a cube frame (which is one of the reasons I went with the SV06 instead).
I haven’t but I’m definately interested in it being half the price. From reviews it looks like I should do some reading on it first, did you have issues with the auto level or anything else getting it going?
No, it printed almost perfectly for me out of the box. The issues I’ve encountered are just the nature of 3D printing and not specific to the machine itself. Having it auto-level makes me almost cry with joy after 5 years of manually leveling with thumbwheels!
