MicroCenter just updated their long running $100 off an Ender 3 3D printer for new customers deal to be the Ender 3 V2 rather than the Ender 3 Pro. It seems to have a few worthwhile upgrades relative to the previous deal printer (e.g. glass bed, "silent" main board, etc.).
As usual for the Micro Center new customer promotions, it requires a unique cell phone number (VOIP like Google Voice do not work) and email address.
I used a Mint Mobile "free" trial ($2 SIM from Target or free eSIM) and the gmail period trick (adding periods anywhere in the username portion of your gmail email address will all get delivered to the same inbox but are treated as unique by Micro Center).

this is not true regarding tweaks out the box. it prints perfect out the box if you know what you are doing. i sell prints online and have a few e3 pros and other more expensive printers.
this does require more tinkering AFTER you use it a good few hours. but out the box, if you can't get a smooth print, i guarantee its user error or bad copy.. took a normal amount of time to calibrate with paper.
i have the cr touch on the s1 printer and theres no difference...its not auto leveling.
reasons to buy an ender are the endless amount of support, mods, and community.
after 2 years i am getting rid of these because the maintenance time adds up compared to next gen printers like the bambu.
btw this. deal came out over 2 years ago. a better value is the recent s1 deal for $200 that may still be active.
·
for $50 I'd jump into the world of 3D Printing - was there some crazy deal going on at some point?
·
I really hate that the closest microcenter is 300 miles away.

Is this a significant upgrade over the monoprice joule? I think it's essentially a clone of this printer.

Other than a few very minor differences, they are essentially the same.

Big improvement over the pro. I would say more nice things, but looks like they still have the plastic extruded arm that is very prone to failure and needing a replacement. Bed leveling is also a really nice quality of life feature that's missing, but isn't that big of a deal. Cura and Prusa Slicer have good support for these printers.

I have this printer, it's a good basic 3d printer, but expect to have to make a lot of tweaks and adjustments to get it to work smoothly. I had to buy a new build plate right away because the one it with had some warping. Then also bought a CR touch to do auto leveling. Also, small things should be upgraded like the bed springs, and then some fans, I upgraded the power supply fan to a noctua fan and that reduced noise a lot. Bed leveling has gotten much easier if you update to a third party "Professional" firmware. Also you can use klipper, through a raspberry pi or similar device, but on the Ender 3 V2 the display isn't supported, so you'd have to just use the web interface or buy a separate display.

I got this during the last deal offering. Well worth it. I used this thing all the time and developed a love for 3D printing.
If you're already a microcenter member, use a friend's number or a relative. The coupon arrives via text. I had them forward the text to me and used it that way. The cashiers don't check to confirm if you're an existing member or not, they just scan

| \n \n \n Quote\n from Cyiode\n \n \n \n \n :\n \n I have this printer, it's a good basic 3d printer, but expect to have to make a lot of tweaks and adjustments to get it to work smoothly. I had to buy a new build plate right away because the one it with had some warping. Then also bought a CR touch to do auto leveling. Also, small things should be upgraded like the bed springs, and then some fans, I upgraded the power supply fan to a noctua fan and that reduced noise a lot. | \n
\nthis is not true regarding tweaks out the box. it prints perfect out the box if you know what you are doing. i sell prints online and have a few e3 pros and other more expensive printers.
\n
\nthis does require more tinkering AFTER you use it a good few hours. but out the box, if you can't get a smooth print, i guarantee its user error or bad copy.. took a normal amount of time to calibrate with paper.
\n
\ni have the cr touch on the s1 printer and theres no difference...its not auto leveling.
\n
\n
\nreasons to buy an ender are the endless amount of support, mods, and community.
\n
\nafter 2 years i am getting rid of these because the maintenance time adds up compared to next gen printers like the bambu.
\n
\nbtw this. deal came out over 2 years ago. a better value is the recent s1 deal for $200 that may still be active.","hideTimestamp":false,"timestampFormatted":"05-22-2023 at 10:34 PM.","isoDatetime":"2023-05-22T22:34:43-07:00","permalink":"/f/16663928-creality-ender-3-v2-3d-printer-at-micro-center-for-new-customers-100?p=163640765#post163640765","postId":163640765},"commentSectionCommentFooter":{"editedText":"Last edited by Lolbadcat May 23, 2023 at 03:19 AM."},"commentIsHelpful":null,"commentGiveRepPopover":{"username":"Lolbadcat","userAvatar":"/images/avatar-150.png","headline":"Say Thanks & Give Rep!","subtext":"","authorText":"Lolbadcat posted this comment.
