More expensive machines such as the Creality Ender 3 Max or the CR-10S Pro are shipped in only 2-3 pieces, and can be assembled in only 15 minutes. The Creality Ender 3 and Ender 3 V2 are in the middle of the road some components come preassembled, and assembly takes about an hour to complete. On the extreme end, machine such as the Prusa i3 require you to assemble almost everything yourself and can take 5 or more hours to assemble. The difficulty of assembly can vary quite a bit depending on which 3D printer you purchase. For more information, please see our affiliate link policy.

We’ll then look at what you’ll need to do to start using the machine to make 3D printed parts. We’ll start with a general overview of what to expect when assembling a 3D printer. In this article, we will go through the process of setting up and using a 3D printer to give you a better idea of the level of complexity so you can make an informed decision on whether a 3D printer is a good fit for you. Creality’s 3D printers are designed to work well out of the box with minimal calibration or tuning, and most of the software you’ll use has preconfigured settings for Creality printers since they are so ubiquitous among hobbyists. Is a 3D printer a good gift for a child or will it just lead to frustration? Do you have to be an engineer to get good prints? Fortunately, getting good results out of an entry level 3D printer like the Creality Ender 3 is likely not as difficult as you think. If you are considering purchasing a new 3D printer, you may be wondering how hard it is to get it set up and ready to print quality parts.
