Nice video! Just one note: You say you should heat for PLA (Nozzle 220 and Bed 60) when auto leveling. However, since the ABL probe is attached, the nozzle will burn into the ABL probe. Just heat the bed to 60, but leave the nozzle be.

@TheTechnologyMan

Thanks. Yes I have been watching out for that but it's far enough away to not cause any issues - and I've done it many times in testing. But to be safe you should probably just heat the bed, and then heat the nozzle for the Z offset.

Can you print stuff like masks with this size machine? I’ve been looking to get this or get the Creality CR-10S Pro V2 but I’m having trouble deciding. This looks like better quality but the other one seems like bigger stuff. That’s why I ask if it can still print masks. For instance an iron man mask or black panther one?

@TheTechnologyMan

2 жыл бұрын

I've not printed masks but your best bet is to find the sort of model you want to print and see what the biggest part is to see if it'll fit on the Flsun. You can even download Cura and load the machines you're interested and then open the 3D files. The CR-10S does have a larger build volume but with Cura also check the speeds. That may tempt you to put up with a smaller volume! If you're not in a rush a bigger build volume is always going to be handy for that sort of thing.

Very thoughtful video, thank you for sharing. Have you tried printing anything with ABS filament on the Flsun SR? Any advices? Upvote for follow up video with upgrades and such!

I've upgraded the extruder (Recommend you stick with an Bondtech BMG style extruder/I'm using Trianglelab DDB version off Aliexpress), bowden tube/couples, Energetic Textured/Smooth PEI sheet (Bed seems to have adhesion issues without glue after 500hrs), spool attachment upgrade I made on thiniverse "Flsun SR Spool Glider", Narrow Fan Ducts S on thingiverse (saw instant improvements even with stock fan on 3d Benchy). Still going strong, it's built quite well. Just with a pei bed and a quality extruder upgrade is all you really need on this unless dealing with specific filaments

Hi thanks for this. I own two of these and the auto bed level is off. More so on one than the other. I don't understand what it's doing wrong. But there is always a spot higher or lower on the bed. I'd love to see a follow up to this with any upgrades you have done. As I'm considering changing the part cooling fan myself.

I use the SR more than any other printer at the moment because it's so fast. And I have upgraded it which I'll cover in a video soon so it's not far off the S1 Pro.

Nice video, good review. But i need to say, nearly none of the the shown prints looked really good. Even for the speeds you show, the quality is poor in my opinion. I also got an FLsun SR and i like the printer. The hotend, and the Extruder are the weak points of the printer in my pov. Recommendation for update: Make this Printer work with Klipper! I think it will be a huge improvement! I didnt manage to get it to work with klipper at the moment....

I find the quality pretty good - not much different to more expensive printers I have that print a lot slower. But if you need better qulaity you can slow down the printing and the results will look better. Most noticeable ringing as I mention in my review.
