Just bought one of these, because i could not spend much money and also living on only 7m² - so space is precious. It might not print perfect, but i hope to use it for small things like clamps, roof cable feed-through, gears etc.
Would this be good enough to print a solid trigger guard/grip for my slingshot rifle? I understand I might have to glue together multiple pieces due to the size constraints. Or is there a better option for a little more money?
@@JohnSmith-tz4on i am honestly do not know how strong it needs to be for this. But the strength is a question of temperature and material. So other printers might bring similar results.
nice video, very helpful. I can't get any other .gcodes to print other than the two that came with the printer that were loaded on the micro sd card. Is there anything I need to do to the files to get them to print?
I watched your video before I made the purchase... I'm not great at doing mixed mechanical/ tech stuff but my son (8) wanted to print 3D so we made the big purchase. We just finished putting it together exactly how you did it. Your advice to spray hairspray saved both of us from having a melting down lol. I don't know if your read your comments or not, I'm new to your channel, but I just want you to know how much I appreciate the great step by step video. Thanks!
Thank you so much and I'm glad my video helped! I love that you are getting your son interested in things like 3D printers at such a young age. Thank you as well for the tip, it's not necessary but very appreciated!
im 13 years old, before to buy the printer (that i wanted for my robotic projects that i make because i dont like kits for some reason) i watched your video, as my money wasnt enough for a full size 3d printer, after seeing it i buyed it, now its 1 day later and i know the basics to 3d design, Good video c: (sorry for my spelling mistakes, im spanish)
Thank you. Honestly there are plenty of cheap options out there if you are looking for something decent. I would really categorize this as more of a toy then a useful tool. If you just want it to play with it's fine but otherwise I would see what you can get for a little bit more with way more features.
Wow, this video explains the process of getting melted plastic to make a form that even I can understand.........maybe I will get back to my Ender 3 printer I bought a year ago that I haven't used yet and see if I can fathom out how to make it work.

Guys I’m dumb I have no idea how to do the code part I’m new to everything and I’m trying to print something but it’s now no longer working it printed the rocket perfectly but nothing else
Absolutely perfect, a friend had this thing forgotten somewhere in his basement and gave it to me, the band was broken and had some Messing things but I put it back together just couldn't figure out how to make it work properly XD
I bought replacement filament and now it wont print, just barely does a drop. the filament is 190-220c Nosel and 25-60c bed, this is the first video I watched before buying, did I mess up somewhere?
Im really noob at 3d print just want ask and hope u answer Are this printer suitable for smaller fun project like make controller hanger etc ? Its just that for $23 dolar on temu and for learning 3d print its temp me
If you can get it for cheap then it's worth playing with but keep in mind this is more of a toy then a useful printer. Also the $23 on Temu is probably for a roll of filament and not the printer itself. They like to suck people in that way.
Good review! I would like to emphasize one major feature: The size. I am tempted to get one just to carry with me. However, as you noted, a construction like this will not be a top performer. Did you notice that small round shapes (like the chimney on Benchy) were not round? The X1 has that problem and this is very similar (really a variation of the same design).
I would say with the backlash and the bending of the X axis back and forth it’s hard to get accurate circles. It’s really just a teaching tool and not intended for any serious use. I bought a Monoprice mini delta for about $179 and while it is more expensive and larger it has automatic leveling, touch screen, heater bed, and real stepper motors but portable enough that I used it while traveling.
Yeah the stepper gearbox cause about .4 of backlash. It is possible to use Antibacklash.exe but it make the print slower. I tried Marlin 2 anti backlash but it sometime cause layer shift. Though I suspect it is a bug in the firmware as some of the layer shift made no logical sense. The real solution is to replace the x and y axis motor with Nema stepper. I tired that on a X3 and it work great. As for the frame rigidity I am not so sure what is going on. I done the same test as 7:41 on the X3. There is no movement. I even tried with 4000acc 400mm/sec and it is still fine. So maybe there is something wrong with the printer or maybe it a flaw that only affect the K7. I am curious if true the K1 X1 would be better option.

Bought a Ender last year, suppose to be Mac compatible. Nope! Tried it with my 2010 & my 2018 Mac mini, even Cura wasn't comparable, what a waste, took it back & got my money back. Bought a Rugar sr22 instead W/ three mags.
I bet with a little bit of dialing in, it could be an "ok"ish printer...but like you said...more in line with a kid just seeing something they can hold that wasn't there before. Our public library here does 3D printing on crazy expensive printers...this would be great to have there to show people how inexpensive they are now...especially anycubic or ender brands
There definitely are better options out there. For instance I built my first 3D printer years ago when all you could get was a kit you 100% had to put together yourself and cost about $170. I just recently checked it and it has printed 3,696 hours worth on models on it and it's still going strong. I doubt I could ever had said the same thing about this machine but just goes to show you don't have to spend all that much more to get a great machine.
@@BusterBeagle3D that’s my plan for my actual second printer. This little thing is a piece of junk haha I just want one because it’s silly. My wife got me a Kobra 2 neo for Father’s Day last month and I’ve got hundreds of hours on it. I wish we had known about the bambu before she bought that one haha
Thinking of getting this one, im thinking of getting into 3d printing and i will be 3d printing small models if cars and bits and bobs for diy eg battery holders, motor holders, gears ect. Would this be a nice first 3d printer? If not, anyhting else out there for under £100?
I just got this and set this up myself. I didn't know you had to go through as many steps as you did before use or at least I didn't. I just assembled it plugged it in and turned it on and printed the test model Rocket. Despite not doing it the extra steps you did before printing my test rocket printed just fine. No issues at all for the first test run. But I am glad I watched this video because you've taught me a few things that I didn't know that were hard to read in the instruction manual
It was one of the issues I had with the machine. Since the extruder is one part it would be difficult to fix it without replacing it. I guess it would really depend on what was wrong with it in the first place though.
I bought mine on Temu for 60$ 13$ sounds like a wheel of filament. Lots of items are featured at a price of one of its accessories on Temu. Just because you saw the pic of this printer doesn't mean that's what the price was indicating.
While this is the only one I have any experience with I can’t say fit sure but looking at the specs of others…. Some have different build sizes. Some come with heated beds while others don’t. Some have screens. Some are $92 while the more advanced are $250. It really depends on what you are trying to achieve, toy or tool. If you are willing to spend a little more I would honestly go with something like a Monoprice Mini Delta ($179)which gives you way more features but still compact and at a still very reasonable price.

In the beginning you said .1 to .4 microns but I think what you actually meant was .1 to .4 millimeters, which is 1000 times larger/longer 🤔
What's the type of distortion/compression used for thr audio of tjis video? Ive heard it so much, i think its bitcrushing?
Cura is unreliable AT BEST via usb. But handy for moving the axis and preheating.
Would it be good for Model railways?
no...
it can print 1/24, but suck texture 😢
For 1kg in weight I purchased one as I'm moving to a country where getting a 3d printer would not be easy.
If a multimedia print runs out of filament, can another be added without losing the print?
Great video of a cheap, low quality, toy-like 3d printer.
I use pronterface, or cura to jog x and y axis for bed leveling
Thank you for the support. I appreciate it.
I put in the g code but now it won’t create what I want it to what do I do
How do I get the cura too work with this printer. I can’t seem to get the printer too print from cura
I can't find easythreed anywhere, how did you do that?
Hi this may be a dumb question, but does my pc need Bluetooth to actually use the printer?
No. If you are using your computer it should hook up via a USB cable

I guess you meant to say resolution .1 to .4 mm instead of microns?
actually it can go down to .01 mm in ultra fine mode but it massively adds build time to your print. Like we are talking potentially days.
