The Creality Ender 3 is the most popular 3D printer in the industry, mainly because it was created at a really competitive price and is a staple 3D printer that beginners can get started with. Many people wonder where they can buy the Ender 3 and other machines in the series.

Here are the best places you can buy an Ender 3 3D printer from:
Amazon
Creality3DOfficial
Official Creality Store
Top3DShop
The benefits and hassles of buying from each store are explained below.
Amazon
Amazon is one of the best places you can get the Ender 3 from. The best thing about Amazon is just how quickly you can get it delivered to you.
With Amazon Prime, you can get it delivered in the same day in some cases, or the next day, which is much faster than ordering it from other places.
They have a great return policy as well, with good buyer protections. There are many sellers of the Ender 3 on the Amazon store.
Most people recommend buying the Ender 3 from Comgrow as a seller, since they have a best reputation and history of selling 3D printing products, especially Creality 3D printers.
As a seller on Amazon, they have 100% positive feedback in the last 12 months from over 900 ratings at time of writing. The Ender 3 itself has a great rating of 4.4/5.0, with 71% being 5 star rated at time of writing.
They are great at customer service and will answer questions that you have about your purchase, as well as being generous with sending out parts that are needed.
Most people have no complaints, but on the other side, one user had issues with their Ender 3 after some prints.
They couldn’t get their 3D printer nozzle and bed to heat up past a certain temperature without getting an error code. Support wanted him to do some checks but he didn’t feel up to it so just sent it back instead for a replacement.
In a poll about where people bought their 3D printers, Amazon came first with 36.5% of the total vote. Most users noted the convenience and ease of buying from there.
Creality3DOfficial
Another great place to get an Ender 3 from is Creality3DOfficial. They are not the official Creality company, but an official reseller who sometimes have better prices.
Their reputation is quite mixed when you look around online. Many people have great experiences, while some experience delays and generic replies when trying to get details. A lot of the negative experiences were years ago, and they seem to be doing better now.
The customer service email is based in China so the communication won’t be the fastest. Deliveries with this website can take a longer time than other places to buy an Ender 3.
They sell plenty of 3D printers on their website and have been active for years. They even sometimes have clearance sales like a warehouse clear out they are currently having at time of writing of up to 60% off.
For the Ender 3, they ship from many locations such as:
United States
Czech Republic
China

This means that you can get some pretty good shipping times all around the world. Their website also shows you how much stock they have available and shows you expected shipping times, as well as cost to ship.
There’s a section with a description of the 3D printer, specifications, and related files that you may find useful.
The Ender 3 has around 30 reviews on the website, 79% of which are 5 stars. Delivery time of the printer depends on the location of the buyer. It costs more for fast delivery.
Official Creality Store
This is the official Creality store where you can buy an Ender 3Â from. They ship the 3D printer within two business days and have sales from time to time, with a flash sale happening at time of writing.
They also sell a lot of other Creality 3D printers.

Top3DShop is another place you can buy an Ender 3 from, but their prices are slightly higher and shipping times longer. The current price difference is around $20 more and their lead time is 5-10 business days.

The pricing is competitive and delivery times are usually the best out of all online sellers. Most people who bought the Ender 3 V2 on Amazon had great things to say about it.
You do get some cases where people have issues like with parts being damaged, but once you reach out the seller, they can usually send replacements or guide you through fixing the issues. One user had to change many parts to get things printing well.
I’d always recommend buying from a reputable seller like Comgrow when it comes to Amazon.

Comgrow Amazon online store is a good store, recommended by many people to buy from. They have a customer review rating of 4.5 stars out of a total of 5 stars. Many people are satisfied with the Ender 3 S1 they bought from here and with their customer service.
Many users highly recommend this 3D printer since it works great out the box and has a lot of useful features. One user did mention it was hard for them to assemble as a beginner due to the instruction manual not being the best.
I always recommend users to follow along with a video tutorial so you can visually see what you need to do.
Another user said that this was his first 3D printer and was able to print his first part within an hour of the printer arriving. He recommended to skip the manual and look at it on the SD card instead. He said most of his questions were answered on YouTube.
One user did experience an issue with an order of two Ender 3 S1 machines from Comgrow unfortunately, due to some kind of firmware issue with the bed heating up. He ended up returning the 3D printers and getting them from somewhere else.
