What's new in the Pro model?

1. Improved Mechanical Properties

The Ender 3 Pro has been redesigned with a more sturdy, 40×40 aluminum extrusion for the Y-axis base. This should improve the overall stability of the printing surface.

Also, better bearing wheels deliver more stiffness, reduce friction, give better dimensional stability – and also help to reduce the overall noise level.

2. Improved Extruder

According to their press release, Creality also exchanged their extruder to an “MK-10” version. The company boasts it should “greatly reduce the risk of clogging and uneven extrusion”.

3. New Magnetic Printing Surface

Last, but not least, the Ender 3 Pro now comes equipped with a “C-MAG” magnetic printing bed. The sheet is removable and flexible, so the prints can be plucked off the build plate more easily. According to Creality, their textured surface adheres to all types of filament better than traditional methods such as tape, glue, or hairspray.

4. Improved Power Supply

Power supply was replaced with better Meanwell power supply

5. Vent changes

The Vent on the controller move to the bottom of the enclosure to prevent dust and other particles from falling in

Machine advantages

1.Split type design: the electronic control host and the mechanical structure are separated, open your mind, help create a variety of print-outs at will.
2. Shipment of the kit: Solving the problem of large-kit transportation, installation takes only 5 minutes.
3. Industrial grade circuit board: The technology is quite mature and stable, it can work continuously for 200 hours without pressure.
4. Linear pulley system: Patented technology, V-profile+precision pulley, runs more smoothly, more wear-resistant. Effectively reduces noise.
5.MK10 Extrusion Mechanism:A brand-new patented infrastructure that effectively reduces the risk of plugging and poor spillage and can print almost all filaments on the market.

The third in the series is here! The CamJam EduKit #3 is focused on robotics and contains (almost) everything you need to create your very own Raspberry Pi-powered robot.

All you need to do is to add your own chassis, Raspberry Pi (any model) & batteries! Then, follow the worksheets to make your own motorized buggy. Add the included sensors and you will soon be detecting objects in front of your robot and following line courses. Included in the kit are the following components:

• A custom-designed, pre-soldered motor controller board (with screw terminals)
• Two DC motors (with wires pre-soldered)
• Two custom red wheels (which go extra fast… because they’re red!)
• A ball castor (used as the ‘third wheel’ to your robot)
• A small breadboard (to create your circuits)
• Two pieces of strong 3M padded double-sided tape
• A battery box for 4 AA batteries (batteries not included)
• An ultrasonic distance sensor (for detecting objects in front of your robot)
• A line follower sensor (for detecting and following black lines)
• Resistors and jumper cables with which to complete your circuits
• A strong cardboard box to keep it all in… or to cut into to make your chassis!

Got a 3D printer? Daniel Bull has very kindly designed an awesome chassis, available from Thingiverse ..
