I picked up a V2 version of this printer on a $150 shipped Cyber Monday deal with the hopes of being able to print with materials my main printer can not handle. I have been really impressed at how well this printer does, right out of the box, without a single adjustment. The only real drawback is the small 120x120x120 print area.
The printer comes with a 256MB SD card (really? who makes them this small these days?) with a
demo cat.gcode file, and enough PLA filament to print the demo. After pulling the printer out of the box and doing the recommended paper height test, I loaded up the filament and started the test.
Afterwards, I printed up a
small filament guide which fills in a small gap between the extruder assembly and the boden tube. This keeps soft filaments like TPU from bulging out and missfeeding at the gap. After which, I successfully printed some vibration dampers with Inland TPU. SWEET! My main reason for getting the printer is a success!
Decided to revisit a XYZ Cartridge of Clear Red PLA that I bought for my XYZ printer which failed miserably due to feed issues on that printer. Went around and round with XYZ on that issue and it was never resolved. Loaded it up in this printer and clicked off the Cat.gcode test. SUCCESS!
So obviously the extruder on this printer is much better.
Next, Let's try that spool of Inland PETG that my other printer wouldn't print. My buddy had busted his GoPro protector, so printed one up for him. SUCCESS
Right now I have the
All In One 3D Printer Test running with Inland PETG, 30% infill, 20mm/sec, and .1mm layer height. Again... PASSING WITH FLYING COLORS!
From the pictures JimCR posted, I thought this was a really small test, but this picture shows A) how small the print bed is and B) how big the print test is. There is some stringing, but for just guessing at the settings, and being able to clean the strings up afterwards, this is a compete success.
In summary, VERY happy with this purchase.
Cheers!
