Great review! Love that you didn't give up on the printer. I really dig the style and features! I doubt the average Joe\Jane will take these steps and try to dial in this printer. Most likely they will either think this is the way prints are suppose to look, or return the printer.

I know that companies like to include their own slicer so they can "pre-configure" the printer to work out of the box, but they should not make it so difficult to use your own choice in slicers. Great video brother!

Thanks man, 100% agree, this isn't 2012 in a Makerbot world anymore. Time to start running the same direction the rest of us are.

The Flashforge firmware is based off of Sailfish, (and therefore Makerbot's original firmware) which had their origin at the center. As for Cura, we also use it in the Polar Cloud to slice for all Flashforge machines.

Nice! Thanks Bill, I learn something everyday.

that was very detailed review chirs...loved all the aspects When you are selling proprietary printer and keeping everything not open to public.... The customer would expect plug and play for 499$...... after having 2 ender3 and i decided to go for prusa and i am not using ender for atleast a year now.. both my enders are eating dirt.... reason is not i am a prusa fan ... i never really had to level my printer.. once load your file to printer there is nothing much that can go wrong with prusa... its really fast... can get awesome texture at the bottom... etc.. all these Chinese companies has a very complicated bed leveling..i would go for Prusa mini any time.... powerful slicers features coming in next update.. awesome bed leveling and great customer support.....

Thanks for watching, I totally agree with you. The easy of use on a Prusa just can't be beat.

Something else to consider: if you have pets and want to have your 3D printer in the house, a hard enclosure is VERY helpful. Now if I could only prevent them from jumping on top of the case to get warm while the unit is printing - that still causes the occasional print issue.

When printing the octopus how did you build successfully? I cannot get the base layer to stick on smaller parts on this machine. We’re you using the raft like they recommend?

Well I don't 100% remember. The leveling was a little hard to get right. I hear the newer version of firmware has multi point leveling. I didn't use a raft, but probably slowed the first layer down a bit.

Ant chance you tried APX and/or ASA filaments on this printer??

@ChrisRiley

3 жыл бұрын

Not sure on APX, you can probably do ASA if you keep the nozzle on the low end, under 250c.

Why does it put out confetti and a red ball rather than pulling out the filament like it is supposed to and just print? It quit being strong pla filament coming out rather stringy and is extremely thin instead or just not coming out.

@ChrisRiley

It's either a nozzle clog or something up with the extruder gear.

I was wondering about PETG on this printer. Using Cura on this is a great tip. I have the Lite version of this printer. The only difference is no built-in camera. This is a good starter printer but if your embracing the thinker mindset of 3D Printing this printer isn't for you. I graduated to an Ender 5 Pro. This is the Easy-Bake Oven of 3D printing.

Before I was considering buying this or anycubic 4max pro for my first 3d printer, but after seeing much reviews, finally decided to get myself a prusa mk3s. Price point is more expensive but I believe prusa will give more consistent results. But I just need to wait 4 weeks to get it. 🤣🤣🤣🤣
