My Product Recommendations

The Bambu Printers have been shown to be quite easy to use and quite reliable for me. This A1 mini is just one of the many offerings of Bambu Lab Printers

The Ender 3 S1 Plus is a larger version of the Ender 3 S1 Pro with a nice upgrade in build plate size

I have found the Micro Swiss .6mm nozzles to be the most durable and also the best size for the Creality Ender 3 Printer Variants

https://amzn.to/3wV2cSw

While it is a bit more expensive, this filament does the job right. 

https://amzn.to/3x2TnpN

This is a mid-tier filament providing a decent price point and good, reliable, printing.

 Bonus if you catch it when it is on sale!

This filament is a good lower-cost option. If you have any issues the company is good about resolving them. 

https://amzn.to/4czlEF0

This is probably the cheapest option I have found. With plenty of colors to choose from, it gets the job done!

Springs for the Enders are a must! The factory springs are weak and don't hold the bed in place properly.

The same goes for the Ender 3 S1 Plus, a bed spring upgrade is a must.

This direct extrusion kit was an easy swap and helps you print those difficult filaments that have trouble traversing the Bowden tubes. 

https://amzn.to/490YYu7

Others have noted that it doesn't quite lock into place. This is true, however, once you print the holder you shouldn't need to worry about it locking in place, the holder will keep it from getting unplugged.

 Creality Ender 3 PRO Compact SD Card Adapter Housing by BoothyBoothy - Thingiverse 

The factory build plate works quite well for a time, but when that time is up, it is time for an upgrade to a PEI sheet.

This filament can be a bit finicky but once you pin down your settings this creates a beautiful product.

Use these purple glue sticks if you have trouble with bed adhesion. Spread evenly on your build plate and preheat bed till you can't see the glue anymore. Just remember to wash your prints off once you are done! 

https://amzn.to/3JLE0W5

The new S1 printers may already come with this, but for those with an original Ender 3 Pro, this is a nice upgrade.

This food dehydrator has been perfect at drying out wet filament. 

Did you get a new roll that is printing poorly with lots of stringing or brittleness? 

DRY IT OUT!!

 You do have to modify and cut the plastic trays to fit the filament inside the dehydrator, but it has been an invaluable asset to restore seemingly unusable rolls of filament, new or old.

 I normally dry my PLA at 115F for 8-12 hours to get great results.

This has been great at keeping that filament dry during a long print. You must find a stable place for this to feed the filament as it can fall over and damage the print or printer without good positioning. 

https://amzn.to/3ITRNsY

This has been great at drying filament that has been left out or prepping for a big print with multiple colors. It's my most used dryer
