Jenny: Ich bin bis jetzt sehr zufrieden.

Nekochan: This is an excellent printer for people on a budget,

Pros:
The print quality is excellent and at the finest setting the print lines are barely visible and easily remedied with a small amount of post processing .

This printer is easily upgradable and many kits exist to make it better.

Cons:
This printer is a little hard to assemble and people who buy it would be well advised to set aside an afternoon to assemble it, and watch a video or two on YouTube first.

Jon Coleman: The Creality Ender 3 v2 3d printer arrived and was packaged extremely well, some assembly required about 1-1.5 hours. You will need some mechanical and technical skills, ALSO--- you will need to watch a video that someone created to assemble it correctly because the included instructions are very lacking.
The included memory card didn't include files or instructions for printing test prints, I had to go to Creality's website to locate and download these files, then decompress them for use (and had to find software that would decompress RAR files (why not zip?). Most non-IT/Mechanical skilled users would have immediately sent the printer back at this point.

This printer has to be manually leveled before use almost every other print.
The printer comes with basic tools and a very small amount of PLA material, just enough to do about 5 small projects and it didn't come on a spool (I know that's for cost savings but even lightweight paper spool would've been better than nothing) which caused my loose spool to knot up at some point on a test print, forcing me to cut the PLA strand, unspool it and re-roll.
Also... the path that the pla has to be fed through the tractor...

Christian Johnsson: Added a few upgrades for better printing

YannickYannick: The media could not be loaded.  Franchement je ne regrette vraiment pas ! Le montage est un peu long mais étant très pointilleux c'est surtout moi qui suis lent. Regarder un tuto pour l'assembler et ça ira tout seul. Tout est très bien emballé. Une vis supplémentaires de chaque taille est fourni plutôt pratique. La quantité de filaments fourni est généreuse. Tout ce qu'il faut en accesoires. C'est m'a première véritable imprimante et franchement après plus d'une dizaine d'impression je suis vraiment étonné de la précision des impression! C'est nickel même les plus complexes comme le lézards. Niveau bruit on entend juste les ventilateur. Ils y en à plusieurs. Un pour l'alimentation et ceux sur la buse un qui refroidi la buse et un autre flux d'air qui refroidi la pièce que l'on imprime au fur et à mesure. Et gros gros avantage sur cette machine on peut tout changer et améliorer facilement. Même les capteur de fin de course. Deux vis et hop prêt à être changer si besoin ou pour le nettoyage. Et en plus tout les éléments de la machine sont disponibles sur Amazon c'est très pratique. Petite note remplacer les ressort sous le plateau il sont trop...

Simon: The plan is to update this review over time as required.
POV is from an older (mid 50s) ex-tech - no stranger to being up to my elbows in PCs and servers.

The printer was well packaged and shipped quickly.

Assembly was frustrating because of the poor instruction manual and video. All it would take is a couple of labels with Front, Up, Left and Right to reduce the amount of deconstruction during construction.
Youtube content creators were more helpful with better hints and tips for success.

I decided to upgrade to a CR Touch auto leveling kit, even before my first print, to find that the plug on the now obsolete Z limit switch cable was hot glued in to the socket (JST XH-2A ?) on the board, which made it difficult and potentially dangerous to remove the cable from the unit.

More frustration followed when I attempted to install the firmware for the CR Touch. I follow instructions but nothing happened. I then looked for help by searching the interwebs; It turns out I should've taken note of the board version...and then the cpu...and I may even have to remove a heat sink to read one other chip (not gonna happen), during the now many times I've had the...

Chewy: For being a novice 3D printer person, this device can do a lot of things. A friend of mine has this same printer and with his help and previous knowledge from using the same printer, I have really learned a lot and his expertise has helped me with a lot of questions that I would have had to ask others about. I ordered this 3D printer on 28 Jan 2021 and it was delivered on 04 Feb 2021. Creality really does a great job packing all of the parts and pieces. It took a little bit of setting up, but watching several YouTube videoes on how to unbox and setup this printer really was a big help. The most critical thing with this printer, is making sure that the bed is level. If your bed is not level, then the filament will not stick to the surface of the bed. It will take 30-45 minutes to level your bed. There are several videos on YouTube on "How to level your Ender 3 v2 printer". Also, depending on what type of filament you are going to use, you need to know what is the best nozzle temperature to set. I found that the GEEETECH, MILKA and HATCHBOX PLA filaments are the best, but that is my own opinion. I found that 185 Celsius for the nozzle temp and the bed temp of 50 degree Celsius was...
