The Creality Ender series is a family of FDM (Fused Deposition Modeling) 3D printers designed for hobbyists, makers, educators, and even small-scale prototyping. It uses plastic filament (typically PLA, ABS, PETG) melted and extruded layer by layer to create 3D objects.
Ender-3 – The original and most widely known; affordable and reliable.
Open-source firmware – Highly customizable.
Heated bed – Allows for better adhesion of prints and use of different filaments.
Build volume – Typically 220 x 220 x 250 mm (Ender-3 standard).
Affordable price – Often under $200–$300, making it beginner-friendly.
Upgradable – Many users add BLTouch for auto bed leveling, all-metal hotends, dual Z-axis kits, etc.
