I don't have that one sorry... ah, just realised, the 02 suffix means it's already discounted, I had it reversed, so try it on the non-02 SKU.

Someone is really excited! 😉👍

Are these Creality 3D printers worth getting as a first printer? I see they have both the Ender-3 V2 and the Ender-3 PRO at bargain prices.

No auto bed levelling and peoples inability to follow instructions and trying to print in mid air or else grinding the nozzle into the platform is why most people have problems and give up.

2 of my printers came from people who couldnt get it to work and all I had to do was level the bed correctly, load up some filament and it was fine. Looking at all the failed prints in the box that came with one of them it was clear they were trying to print about half a mm off the base and it was not sticking.

Thanks for the info. Since I posted earlier, I did some more research which lines up with what you've said too. I have now ordered the Ender 3 V2.

Thanks for the heads up.

Also ordered the Ender-3 V2.

Probably start by trying to make some woodworking jigs with it, especially adaptors from power tools to my vacuum/dust collector.

I'm 66, so something else to play with when I finally decide to retire. Learning the design side will help to keep the brain cells active.

Yes, my order shows the higher price of $405.46 plus GST, total price $466.28.

I have emailed them to ask why this is.

Perhaps they are out of stock in AU and sourcing at higher price from UK, but not showing that when you order, only when you look at the history.
I just had a chat with a live agent and they advised to send an email which I will.

In some cases they are sourcing stuff from the UK, I got a shipment in a Farnell (UK) shipping box repackaged (well, matryoshka'd) into an element14 (AU) shipping box

How long does shipping usually take?

I've got family visiting in a few weeks so if I can get this to NZ in time I'll buy a 3D printer. For once NZ is getting a great deal, it's GBP140 for me to get the same printer delivered here in the UAE from the UK

Usually 1-2 days. From the UK, maybe 3-4 days.
