About this deal

I had to add a thin layer of printing adhesive over the print surface to ensure a good adhesion during printing.

I have an Aquila C2, so understanding the basics was easier to put together and do a basic level z Axis etc.It is great option as a budget first 3D printer, or as an additional cheap 3D printer if you have an existing larger machine, for example a Tevo Tarantula 3D Printer .

One model is a rabbit (tuzi) while the others are alternate handles (bashou) and a spaceship to mount on the top of the Ender 2 Pro. Below we see a model sliced with Creality Slicer on the left and PrusaSlicer on the right, both printed in Matterhacker’s Build Series Blue PLA.

If you want the most hassle-free option, the Creality Ender 3 enclosure or the Wham Bam HotBox V2 are two great options that have very minimal assembly and hold in heat very well. That’s because the magnetic PEI options that come with the Ender 2 Pro can lose their magnetism (attachment to the printer) at high temperatures. Unfortunately, the white PETG I used was not that fresh, and it might have contributed to the higher amount of stringing present on the model. But the bottom surface of prints will reflect the smoothness of the build plate, which, for glass, is very smooth.

And what's more, we need to press the extrusion clamp to feed in, sometimes, the extrusion clamp is easy to be broken, so the rotary knob is a very friendly design.

To level (or tram) the print surface, first home the printer, then select “disable steppers” from the Motion Menu.

Unfortunately, this hotend performed quite bad during my testing and I blame it on the bad thermal performance of the heat break. The printer uses a X-Y-Z rectilinear design to move a heated hot end that extrudes the plastic filament onto the heated build plate.The Creality Ender 2 is a fantastic desktop 3D printer and cannot be bettered for the low purchase cost. I tested the temperature uniformity for the Creality Ender 2 Pro bed with the FLIR Camera installed on the CAT S62 Pro. But if you look at the Z seam in the back of the model, you can see the inconsistency I was mentioning. A heated build plate is essential when printing ABS and also reduces print warping when printing with PLA.
