Since the release of the first Ender 3 in 2017, a lot has changed in the world of 3D printing (and Creality has released a LOT of Ender 3 variants...!)

The V3 SE combines the affordability of the original with quality of life features such as mesh bed levelling, full size SD slot and direct drive extruder.

It's no speed demon and has no wireless functionality, but it's a great budget offering for those wanting to get into 3D printing at the ground level.

The latest evolution of Sovol's popular i3, with a solid design and fast 3D printing capability running Klipper firmware.

Klipper is an advanced 3D printing firmware which allows advanced control over the 3D printer via a web interface or colour touch screen.

The planetary geared, direct drive extruder is powerful and effective at extruding PLA to 95A TPU.

A worthy successor to the original SV06 and completely open source!

Sovol SV06 ACE Review

The indisputable king of speed and print quality, the X1C is my go-to 3D printer for the rapid production of prototypes and functional prints in a wide range of materials.

If time is money, you can't go wrong with this machine, and spare parts are surprisingly affordable for a closed-source 3D printer.

The optional AMS system adds multi-colour capability if that's important to you, but I find it more useful for swapping filaments as they run out.
