Ender 3D Pro

One of the things in tech that I have always been intrigued by are 3D printers. I am fascinated by how they can take in a 3D model and automatically print a 3D object.

I knew I wanted to get one to be able to print cases for my other tech projects. I could use it for an updated smart glasses or as a chassis for another object detection car.

I decided to get the ender 3D pro and wanted to share my thoughts on it.

It is a great printer, but I would not recommend it for very precise work. Some of my prints that I make a certain size on my computer do not print the same size on the printer. I would rate the quality of the prints at an 8/10 because they are very good prints, but they lack fine precision. Another qualm I have about it is that you have to level the bed yourself, which may take a lot of trial and error and if not done properly, can lower the print quality. I did enjoy that you had to put it together yourself, though. It was a fun process to build it. I also like how you can easily change the color filament for different prints.

Something I recently used this printer for was to encase an updated version of my object detection robot car. You can see the black chassis which holds all the tech below:

I would recommend this printer to young hobbyists who want to use it for simple projects or figurines.
