Are you looking to try out 3d printing? Maybe you're a new retiree looking for a hobby, or a mom or dad looking for something to engage your kids with that doesn't involve video games.
For the DrVax YouTube channel, I have reviewed seven printers so far this year. The Ultimate 2 at $549 fits right in the middle of the price range for these printers between my Monoprice Select Mini V2 on the low end and my Prusa i3 Mk3 on the high end.
In this video, My grandson Zach and I will unbox the Ender 3 Pro 3d printer with a goal of demonstrating that a new eighth-grade graduate can assemble a 3d printer. It's easy. It's fun. Building with a child creates memories that last forever.
3d printing is unique in its ability to print seemingly impossible objects. Objects that when viewed, look like they were created as separate pieces and then glued together.
In this video, my granddaughter Shira and I will make a 3d printed coin with her name on designed in Tinkercad. Then we will print it on a $180 Monoprice Select Mini printer (MP Select Mini).
This video is an updated comparison, and the original comparison, of the $750 Original Prusa i3 MK3 kit and the $330 Creality Ender 5 kit. While these are both excellent printers they fill different needs.
