So with Covid-19 it hasn’t been easy to get motivated to do anything 3D printing related and with having a part-time job in the retail industry it has been very stressful, I know I’m not the only one who has struggled through this pandemic. Everything is getting easier now, and I have gotten the energy again to do what I Love. So I have got the boring bit out of the way. Let’s get into the exciting part…

3D Printable Test STL Files
Honestly, I rarely use the sample filament provided by the company unless it is a relatively small filament spool weighing 250 grams. This is mainly because it tangles up almost every single minute, I could not get it to print at the beginning because of this problem. Despite sitting for as much as two hours waiting for the squirrel STL file to complete, the Eryone ER 20 realized it was done.
The 3D model had not yet been completed only around 80% when the printing head moved back out of the way and the “100%” was displayed on the screen. I was fuming, so I proceeded and switched to the Noulie Silk Green filament, which seemed to work. I was able to print the 3D model perfectly. There were no more displacing layers caused by the filament snagging.
Furthermore, I will no longer use sample packs for 3D printers in the future – I will instead use these for my 3D pen, the Anet. In general, the filament itself is exceptional and produces high-quality results. The test STL files I got were the XYZ Calibration Cube, Standard Vase and a Squirrel. Despite printing from a box straight out of the box, and needing to switch the filament halfway through the printing process, these came out OK.
Printing PLA Matte 3D Models
All 3D printers should be capable of printing in PLA filament because it is without a doubt the easiest filament to work with for 3D printers. These are a rough estimate of how long it will take to 3D print these models. I actually forgot to take note of the time because I was so focused on what I was doing.

ER 20 3D Printer Pros And Cons
Below I have a summary of what the pros and cons are for the Eryone ER 20 3D printer.
3D Printer Pros
- Assembly
Very easy to assemble and has decent quality prints right out of the box.
- Auto Leveling
The Auto Leveling sensor is great to have, although it’s needed with the included glass bed, which is a probe type sensor. That will come in handy if you switch to a different type of build plate. Auto-bed leveling sensor gives you the perfect first layer no need to manually level the bed anymore, it is the quickest way to get up and running.
- Build Plate
The glass build plate is very thick and has a coating on one side to help with adhesion. The other side is plain glass.
- TMC2209 silent stepper drivers
Very quiet when printing with the help of the 2209 silent stepper drivers. TMC2209 offers quiet and more accurate 3D printing without the need for mechanical limit switch (sensor less homing)
- Dual Z- Axis
This will help keep the X gantry level more stable and in return, allowing you to put more weight onto the gantry. For example, adding more fans, direct extruder or upgrade your own 3D printer into a food printer and finish up your meals at home like never before using Cakewalk3D.
- Enclosed Body
It will keep dirt and filament out of the electronics and make it look very stylish. ER 20 sleek & streamlined round corners comply with the ergonomic design.
- Reliable
ER 20 supplies resume printing, sparing you the unexpected head-scratching outage. Fully upgraded aluminum profile frame provides durability. The extruder is mounted with an Eryone sensor for hassle-free printing.
3D Printer Cons
- Price
Compared to other 3D printers in the same class, it is pricey without a coupon or discount.
- Power Supply
It has a 24v, but it takes a long time to get the print bed up to the temperature. Compared to other 24v printers in the same category, it takes about twice the time. Now this may be because of the thickness of the glass. Eryone recommends heating bed time (25~60℃) 3 minutes: for me it was 3.17 minutes, this was starting from 27℃. And for the nozzle heating time (20~180℃) 1 minute, mines took 1.10 minutes started at 22℃. Remember, it all depends on your ambient temperature.
- Print Bed Size
Odd dimensions for the print bed. 220×200 is an odd size and will be difficult to find a flexible build plate if I decide to go that way.
Eryone ER-20 3D Printer Conclusion
This article is not about comparing the B1 to the ER 20, because I know they are different printers, but the reason I purchased the ER 20 was to see if it can replace the BIQU B1. The main points I disliked about the ER 20 are the following. The spool holder doesn’t cater for bigger spools, and when you are loading the filament, it tells you on the LCD screen press to continue to load and it does not work! Also, the print quality started off fine, but then started to miss layers. A blockage did not cause this, and the extruder gear was on tight enough to pull the filament through.
The only way I got it to print better was to slow it down and to turn the temperature of the hotend up. And then it still wasn’t working perfect, normally I would use my standard S3D profile on all of my 3D printers with slight adjustments and the printer would be ready to go. But the ER, 20 it was more of a challenge to get it to print OK!
In the end i tested out some Eryone PLA filaments and as you see from the results, they all came out pretty nice especially the dark wood filament absolutely incredible details.
For the price point of £299.99 when i first purchased the ER 20 a while back I felt it was pricey for what you got. This price was based on Amazon UK store, I would have payed £250 max but WOW the printer has now dropped down in price to £159. Highly recommend getting the ER 20 3D Printer for that price and even better, you get with every 3D printer purchased 3X rolls of PLA filaments. The link is at the start of the article for this DEAL!
