The most common thing you should know firstly is what is a 3d printer?
As the name suggests, 3D printers help you to process your ideas and make them 3 dimensional solid objects from a digital film. The object is created by laying down successive layers of material until the object is created.
Comgrow Creality Ender 3 Pro is the best 3d printer for Miniatures and D&D Terrain.

How does Comgrow Creality Ender 3 Pro work?
Well, the Comgrow Creality Ender 3 pro works easily, you have to create your design on your computer, and your printer will do the rest for you.
The designs that you want to create will be created with a filament placed in the printer. Creality Ender 3 filaments are available in different colors according to your needs actual objects are created out of this filament by the 3D printer.
The question is what is filament?
The most important component of any 3d printer is the Filament. A 3D filament is a 3D printer plastic which is the only thing that can be utilized to create three-dimensional designs on your printer i.e. 3D printer.
Creality Ender 3 filament has a variety of colors available depending on the output you want that is used to make three-dimensional printing. In 3D printing, the most popular filaments are ABS (Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene) and PLA (Polylactic Acid)
After all this intro information that is necessary for everyone, it is time now to discuss the Comgrow Creality Ender 3 pro setup and (what is in the box) specifications.
First thing first, you need to know what is inside the box when you purchase a Comgrow Creality Ender 3 pro:
- 1x Creality Ender-3 PRO 3D Printer
- 1x Toolbox (testing filament included)
- 1x Screw Accessories Box
- 2x MK8 Black Silicone Case
- 4x 0.4mm MK8 Nozzle
This is what comes in a box, but there is more to add to it, this is not easy to set up, trust me it takes time to set up the 3d printer and if you do not the steps then you are in a difficult situation, do you need to worry? NO, because we are here to help you.
Here are the Steps of Comgrow Creality Ender Pro 3 Setup
- The base of Creality Ender Pro 3 comes with assembles, in the first step you just have to attach the two vertical beams (20 x 40 aluminum extrusion) to the base with just two screws.
- Setting up your LCD screen can be a bit tricky. LCD is to be placed on the base of the machine, with the diagonal screw holes at the base.
- The Power Supply is attached to the right vertical beam using Align the holes in the power supply with the holes in the extrusion, then insert and tighten the screws.
- The two most important things to set up now are the Z-limit switch and Z-Motor. The Z-Limit Switch will mount to the side of the left vertical beam, while the Z Motor is attached using a bracket on the back of the vertical frame.
- Now assemble the X-Axis of the Creality Ender 3 Pro. The X-Axis is the thin 20×20 extrusion that runs horizontally across the frame. The x-axis of the printer is to be mounted carefully to the beams as it moves up, down, left, and right during the printing process, so it needs to be very stable. Tighten the screws double to the vertical beam.
- The last step of the machine assembling is the X-axis belt installation. The X-axis belt is placed under the wheel present at the base with the belt ridged side towards the outer portion of the vertical beams
Once it is done, it is not that difficult when you un-box the Creality Ender 3 Pro, but I would suggest following the above steps and it will be easy but still, you can also get more assistance from videos on different platforms.

Creality Ender 3 Pro Software
Every 3d printer uses software that enables it to run or execute the designs.
The most commonly used software is Cura.
Cura is open-source software that makes it compatible with every 3D printer. Besides the fact that Cura is open-source, it’s free software. Everyone can use Cura as the software is pretty basic and easy to use.
The most basic information that people ask me about the Creality Ender 3 Pro is what size of an object can we print on this printer? To answer this question, you should know about the Creality Ender 3 Pro’s bed size and you will automatically get your answer.
Creality Ender 3 Pro Bed Size
By bed size, it means the area that the machine provides for printing your object. Creality Ender 3 pro dimensions are 220 x 220 mm or 20.9 x 15 x 7.9 inches. So you can create any object under this measurement of the bed size through the heated nozzle.
Creality Ender 3 Pro Nozzle Size
The nozzle is the part of the 3D printer that is responsible for extracting the filament to create your object. The Comgrow Creality Ender 3 pro uses a 0.4 mm brass nozzle which is fitted in the heat block.
There are two types of nozzles used, large and small nozzle, adding more,
1) Larger Nozzles ( > 0.4 mm):
- High strength
- Reduced print time
- Fewer nozzle-related print errors
2) Smaller Nozzles ( < 0.4 mm):
- Higher precision
- Clogs often
- Higher quality overhangs
- supports are easier to remove
It is understood that every product comes with some advantages and disadvantages. The same goes with Comgrow Creality Ender 3 Pro, here are the pros and cons.
- Easy to assemble
- High quality of printing
- Larger printing space
- Easily Affordable
- Easy to use by all
- Required regular maintenance
- Leveling the bed before each print is required
