Creality\u2019s Ender 3 series of 3D printers has been a popular choice for people who want to start 3D printing at home.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Their beginner-friendly printer is ready to make great prints right out of the box – but did you know it’s also easy to upgrade to a laser engraver<\/strong>?<\/p>\n\n\n\n For most people, Creality\u2019s official laser upgrade<\/a> is the best choice. It’s the easiest to install and most reliable – perfect for beginners.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n If you’ve got a bit more modding experience (and are looking to save some money), you can consider 3rd party options by Endurance Laser and other companies<\/strong> – which often deliver more power than Creality’s laser.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Over the past 2 – 3 years I’ve tried a handful of the best Ender 3 laser upgrades<\/strong>, and in this post, I’ll share the best choice for each type of maker. This includes not just the standard Ender 3, but also when I tested out my Ender 3 V2 Neo<\/a>, and Ender 3 S1 Pro<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Yes, the Ender 3, and all of its upgraded variations, can laser engrave, if you upgrade it to have a laser engraving module. It has no built-in laser engraving or cutting capability, but Creality sells several laser modules you can install to turn your Ender 3 into a laser engraver or cutter.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Depending on how powerful you want, expect to pay at least $70 for the lowest-power lasers, with 10W or 20W options costing several hundred dollars.<\/p>\n\n\n\n You have two main options for turning your Ender 3 into a laser engraver:<\/p>\n\n\n\n No matter which company you purchase from, you\u2019ll have multiple options for different wattage and models.<\/p>\n\n\n\n For example, Creality has 3 main laser modules, while Endurance has tens of modules ranging from professional-grade to simple 3.5W lasers. Choosing the right one will depend on your needs, your equipment, and your price range.<\/p>\n\n\nCan the Ender 3 Laser Engrave?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
