These include integrated belt tensioners on the X- and Y-axes, a decently high-temperature hot end (up to 260 °C), and a magnetic and flexible build plate. And its tiny footprint is excellent for makers who need a decent second printer, but lack tons of space.

In other places, there is inconsistent extrusion and I blame this on the high pressure which builds up in the hotend.Unfortunately, this hotend performed quite bad during my testing and I blame it on the bad thermal performance of the heat break. The Ender 2 Pro isn’t meant to be a powerhouse of a 3D printer, but you still may want to try printing some high-temperature materials such as ABS or ASA. For my first print, I loaded the provided sample PLA and selected the pre-sliced rabbit from the microSD card. This is a complex, flexible print with dozens of contact points – good adhesion is an absolute must. Robot Operating System (ROS) is a collection of software frameworks for robot software development, providing operating system-like functionality on a heterogeneous computer cluster.

This is nice because it allows to tuck it away when the printer is not in use, saving a bit of room. Next, it’s always a good idea to keep your print space properly illuminated as light makes starting prints, fixing your machine, and everything else so much easier.I did have a failed print where the layers were not bonding, this was due to a partial blockage in the nozzle.

PrusaSlicer has a profile for the Ender 2 Pro and it honestly works better than Creality’s or Cura’s programs for this machine. A glass bed won’t do this, so you can use filament materials that require higher bed temperatures (e.

Alternatively, you can make your own enclosure for your Ender 2 Pro using materials such as acrylic panels, wood, or PVC pipes. The handle on the top makes it convenient to travel with, especially if you intend to bring it to conventions or on a road trip. after the bed is "leveled" add some tight silicone tubing (R/C fuel tubing) under the adjusting wheels to keep them tight.
