Nils! I bought two K1 printers a few months ago. They both lasted a week. The Y axis stepper motor bushing wore out from the belt tension. Can you test longevity? I found the K1 prints good enough for the price. If you read this, look where the Y axis belt meets the Y axis pulley wheel... You'll notice the shaft and wheel are slightly leaning towards the front of the machine. FYI, a replacement motor is hard to find online and if I recall correctly it cost $28 and ships from China. If you have to buy a $28 motor every week it defeats the purpose of buying a cheap printer.

@@Xbox-3b0 Christmas is gone.. I just saw your comments today. I would highly suggest you to invest a little more and get an Ender 3 or similar. You will get wayyyy more quality for your buck and it's ready to print high quality (and the bed is a descent size too).

I still have and occasionally use X1. It was my introduction into 3d printing. Mine is still alive, well and kicking after more than 2 years. I don't get any layer shift issues. Only time I had layer shift problems were when I tried to use it with raspberry pi print server and direct control over COM, but that happened most likely due to some communication issue. When printing directly, I never had any layer shift. Prints are pretty OK with 25-28 print speed (though, much less for the walls). Quality PLA with 220 temp and down to 0.06 layer height can make some pretty good prints with its limitations in mind. It also came from factory with the part cooling installed, which looks like it was actually the factory QA print for mine that they just installed. I don't have a hot bed, but the magnetic plate is quite adhesive, though I use stick glue and narrow brim for adhesion, which was so far my goto on it. I think quite high of X1. Nice to see a review.

Dude! We are impressed with your delivery and apparent fairness and hope you are an instructor somewhere as you are so good. Best of luck!

Nice, thanks, I had been curious about the clones.. Layer shift on x1 seems to be from tension on the head.. the double gantry on K1 seems to make a difference

Bought 2 printers from Goodwill for $40 each, they thought they were rotisserie ovens lol. Both work great, one needed an extruder but was cheap to replace. Eventually will buy one with a large print bed or the creality model with the rolling bed for larger prints but getting started with these was a bonus.

My first printer is a cheap little Weedo, around $100 that I am actually pretty impressed with. I use it fairly frequently, never had a clog, it has a screen, it can self level, and the prints are pretty decent and have had success with even some more detailed and articulated prints. Anyone know if that file for the self watering pot is somewhere online?

Thanks for taking your time to review these budget "alternatives" Nils, hopefully you'll save some folks their pennies 🤝

If your tronxy is has a build volume of 330 x 330 x 400, it's ~3.5 times larger than than the build volume of 100 x 100 x 100. It's not 43 times larger. When talking about how much larger something is, this is called the scale factor. Scale factor (sf) is always based on the dimensions that make up what you're scaling. If you want to scale the area or volume, the scale is squared for area and cubed for volume (area = original area x sf^2. Volume = original volume x sf^3). In short, this is why a scale rc car is considered 10th scale, when it's volume is actually 1/1000th of a full size car.

When I chose a printer I needed a sturdy Z axis and large print area, that’s why I chose the Creality Ender 5 Plus. It’s the only printer I’ve seen other than the Cr-10 and that tronxy with 4 steel rods for smooth layer lines. The Ender 3 horizontal gantry often gets misaligned, and never prints correctly. I’m not sure how often the 2 sides of the Ender 3 need to be calibrated, but I often see the horizontal axis fail because there’s just too much weight on one side at a time. Dual Z-axis motors and no horizontal z axis is the key to smooth layers

@Rainmotorsports

2 жыл бұрын

Dual Z Axis motors misalign as well. Stepper motors aren't going to stay in sync with each other just because you drive them with the same signal. No solution is perfect. You tram the bed on the Ender 3 to match that misalignment of the X Gantry. So long as the misalignment between the left and right extrusion stays consistent and the bed is properly trammed its going to print just fine. Now if the misalignment shifts thats a huge issue. However often you find yourself tramming the Bed on the ender 3 is how often it needs to be calibrated. Take a look at the Ultimakers that use a single Z screw and rods to support a cantilever bed. Those rods flex, no matter what. Rail's can provide better results and when you are paying $2000-$6000 for a printer you would think they could afford something better. But they also work. Every part of a 3D printer isn't as precise as it should be. Go order extrusions, the cut length accuracy for every vendor I have looked at is interesting. Plus add up the twist and surface inconsistencies (Which is what really hurts the wheels on an Ender 3). The worst thing is Tooling plate aluminum for beds. I looked at one vendor so far and their flatness spec is between .127 and .384. That's entire layer line differences from one side to another somewhere in the plate on a bad day. I hope to find something better than that lol

@johnbernardlambe8582

That's always a risk with unknown brands, but some might actually be good, and just not have been around long enough to earn a reputation. And when they give the reviewer the device, knowing that it's for a review, they might give him/her one that's more likely to be one of the good ones. (They might have tested it first, while the average one wouldn't have had similar tests before going to a retailer.) When one fails in these circumstances, it's a strong indication of poor quality. I'd look for user reviews. If they're very new, there might not be enough user reviews to know the quality.

My anycubic mega zero 2.0 (basically ender 3 clone, exact same specs) was 115€, so about 130$ or so. Heated bed, marlin fw, screen, 220x220x250 volume etc, great printer. Many parts come out similar to my heavily modified Ender 3 V2, just not at the same 100mm/s.

For many people it is still their first contact with a 3D Printer. So I bought almost all possible small 3D printers starting with a makerbot CNC cupcake, a MakerBot Mini, a CR-100 from Creality and a Minnie easythreed, that was for 2 years my favorite, so small and light and yet capable of doing all the small prints that I showed off... great video. Thanks for making it and please, keep a log about the longevit os this models.

Great video with lots of helpful information, thanks!

Control the K1 with octoprint and its a very capable

I have bought one too and if you use their slicer instead of cura the prints are much better. You should try it

I wonder if you would get better printing results using Simplify 3D as a slicer instead of Cura. It was more options for DIY printer settings.

A comparison review between the K1 and the K1 Plus (which has better steppers and a heated bed) would make an interesting video, I think. Very little content about the EasyThreed "plus" models out there.

I just went to a daily deals and found that Anbull 3D printer brand new with no defects for $8 but can’t find enough on it. Thank you for this video man! 🙏🏽

Well, to be fair, you have to spend some time with each printer, add a part cooler, try different settings. Like you would do with a "serious" or expensive printer. I got an X1 last May to see if 3d printing was right for what I needed and I have to say that I would still be using it as my only printer if it had a slightly larger build surface. I did use it a lot though, at 30-40 mm/s2, even in making all the printed parts of a clone CR 10 300x300x400. It did that job very very well. It takes a bit longer than an Ender 3 style machine would, but the pieces come out beautiful looking and very stronk.

I have the k-3 with a heated bed, it dose pretty good for what it is on simple prints. It's a bit bigger than the k-1. Nice little printer I think for a kid.

The ended 3 seems like a good printer and everything but mine had issues right out of the box. The filament feeder just doesn’t work. It does not want to feed itself the filament.

well, i had the Easythreed X1 as my "first" printer - ans i even printes the XYZ-Calibration cube, but with the filament what was given with that printer - and the quality was pretty good. i don't know if you had a problematic printer, but mine had worked nice and smooth; the only thing what made problems were "taller" prints - like a benchy (what was sliced with the software what was delivered with; and there's "raft" as bed-adhesion as standard set), who needed to "tape down" several times during the printing process. just to be fair - i wanted to try it on that printer as first, that i know not to dump to much money if 3d-printing wasn't my thing or i won't get that... you might gess on that text, that i had a bigger printer now - a artillery genius, what works for the most prints for me (and i selled the X1 later). for round about 65€ the quality wasn't that bad, and the accuracy (i even had that cube - i collect every cube that i print with one of the printers i've had) was even not that bad. the only problematic thing was that it had a "elephant foot", but that is - in the look of that print quality of that "toy printer" exaptable. but, there's even critic from my side - and you didn't say that (even i can say it just for the X1, but i guess that's for all 3 a thing): these had a holder for spools, but just for the smallest spools you can find - with 250g (that's just 1/4th of a norma-sized printing spool). and that from the X1 tends even to break easily - especially when you try to dismount the printer, 'cause the plastic for those holder is really cheep plastic. but, there's even upgrades out there for the x1 printer on thingiverse (like a active cooling for the nozzle, 'cause that isn't build in etc).

Thanks for the great video. I'm really surprised those printers even printed at all. lol The Anycubic Kobra is also about $150 and I think that stock it's a little better than the Ender 3 just because it has abl and a direct drive extruder. I still love me Ender 3 though. I considered ordering one of these though just to have a portable printer, and as you said they are just so cute. lol

I got K7 and just finished a spool of 250g pla. I still can't figure cura to slice well enough for this printer so I use the slicer that came with instead and the results are acceptable. better than I expected sometimes. the things that annoy me so much are it prints cylindrical shapes poorly. mostly look like a box with round corners. and not for really small objects. I've tried several times on keycaps and it failed miserably on printing the cherry mx style stems.

So on mine I literally just used the default "custom" profile for adding new printers and the only things I changed were to set the bed size (100x100x100), unchecked the "Heated Bed" box and set the filament size to 1.75mm on the second screen. Other than that, it was all about slicer settings - principally speed.

But can they run octoprint? There's a creative way to get around the lack of a display

i have the x1 printer and to answers ur question about identical stuff its because they are from the same company. i saw all the printers you bought on the website

Ender 3 and all its variants moment. I got a 3 v2 for $100 at a micro center. My “closest” one is pretty far but it was worth the drive.

The minnie is definitely an m3d clones. As someone who had an m3d, its not really shocking that it failed. The printer is designed well aesthetically but thats about it. Undersized motors, slow firmware, unreliable connectors, motor overheating issues, ability to dive into its own bed, and many more issues. The only difference I see with the mini is that it has an oled display while the m3d micro+ has no display.

I have x1 whatever it is and it did NOT have the rocket in the card, it just had an empty file and I use the cord that came with it anyway
