As usual, great review. I really like the format you use for your reviews...it gives the highlights, important features, and seemingly unbiased impression without getting deep into the nerdy details. Nerdy details are fine, but many times I just want an overview. Anyway, keep up the good work!
Hey Bryan, thanks for the great video. Super concise and easy to follow. After watching many UA-cam reviews of different printers, your video has me sold on this delta. Will be my first printer so it feels odd to buck the trend of going with a traditional printer but like you said delta's are fun to watch and I'm really sold on the nearly-turn-key features of newer printers these days.
You strike me as a fellow metal head sir. A lover of metropolis II: scenes from a memory. Like me you cannot believe that album is almost 25 and still consider it new like me until I remember haha
I have one and USE IT. Will I ever purchase a corexy? Hard pressed to do so for what I need a printer to do. Just 'LUV. the fact the part DOES NOT MOVE. Yes I still have my tricked out Neptune 4 BUT there are parts that would not survive the 'Y' axis stroke. Next. MMU for the V400!!! Cheers.
I like the idea of being able to print up to a height of 410mm but the biggest square you can print is only 210x210 before running off of the base plate and that is this type of printers biggest drawback.
Nice vid. It's just so TALL. Putting it on a standard height counter top means a step stool and at least 8 foot ceilings are mandatory. The spool holder could definitely be improved but that's a little nit-picky. Overall it's pretty impressive.....
Hi Richard! Yeah, the spool holder feels like the same one that was on the SR and the little Q5. I'm debating getting a sit/stand desk to use as the workbench in place of the one I've got now, for those times that I have a tall (or even medium-height) printer.
Hi, apparently you can hook the v400 PAD to 3 printers at the same time. Think you could check that out? I have an anycubic predator I would love to try and put Klipper on by using something like that. Great video, thx for the work.
Seems like a really good machine! A delta with 300 diameter, 410 tall and that speed makes it really desirable. I wasn’t overly impressed by the print quality though. Would have been nice to see some slower prints too see maximum speed to still get quality prints. really good video though! Thanks!
Hello, I was wondering if anyone knows if you are able to mount the printer to your table? It's seems to jolt a fair bit when going fast and 840 dollars in pieces on the floor wouldn't be good. Could it also improve quality just that little bit? Thanks in advance!🙂
Printing at a higher temperature can also help. Usually the inconsistent sheen means your temperature is borderline for the material & speed. 260-280 is probably the working range for printing PETG at these kind of speeds.
So I ordered mine on September 9th and still haven’t gotten any shipping info. So for anyone who is curious it’s taking a while lol. I will be more than happy to reply once I receive it so people can have an accurate estimate as when to expect it if they order it too.
Funny enough I have an Ender 2 from back in the day. I'd have to buy an Ender 2 Pro, though. That said, they're nice looking little printers, and they're not pricey.
Also, do you know of a good Cura tutorial I could use to learn how to use it properly with the V400? I'm a raw beginner, and although the prints I'm getting now are OK, I'd like to learn more about the way to make things better. Thank you.
Question: my completed pieces all have a large "splash" layer at the bottom on all of them that I have to trim off. Is there a Cura (Cura 5.3 for me) setting to stop or reduce this? Thanks very much.
RE: the Bunny test print. I was thinking that we were looking at a Variable Layer Height print (probably optimized for speed). I've seen my own PrusaSlicer prints look banded like that when I set the variable max thickness in the layer height setting a bit too high compared to the thinnest. The transition between the thick to thin layer regions can leave "bands" like that. Solution was just reslice n print with a decreased max layer thickness value. Also, at least on PrusaSlicer you can "Smooth" the transition between the Max and Min layer thicknesses, which can also reduce obvious "bands". Haha, this is starting to become a run on sentence. So... My point: I bet if you resliced that bunny, with better settings in the variable layer heights, it would look a lot better, though no doubt slower. I prefer the Quality choice myself. I like this machine, and from what I can tell, its not thrashing the guts out of itself at high speed, like some more recent Cartesian high speed designs. That's gotta translate to better Durability somehow.
@@t1mblumer I don't think that will work. I think the actuator will have to stick out between two of the side-pillars to get the nozzle to the boundary of the build-plate, so if you would have a straight enclosure or wrapping there, it would block that movement. And even if it would work, you then have a very high enclosed volume and hot air rises while the part that needs to be kept warm is at the bottom of that volume. It just seems like a core-xy which moves its bed all the way up is much better suited for an enclosure than a delta.
@@BV3Di've just ordered the enclosure via the South African representative from Flsun for approx $180. It should arrive in 2 months... 😢 but it looks awe.
The discount code works, thanks, but that doesn't take the sting out of the $270 shipping cost. When the shipping cost exceeds 30% of the purchase price, I nope right out of there.
Hey All, Bryan, So, I've kinda lost my warm fuzzy feeling. have these units been shipping? I don't do SM, but I have sent 3 unanswered emails. Paid 7 Sept. Aside from the presale influencer ads ^ , all I've noted on youtube are a couple short user vids showing some play in the rod joints. Would love to get a look at one, specially mine.
Hi Mike, I've just sent an email to my contact at FLSun to see if they can help. If you don't mind, send me an email at bv3dchannel@gmail.com so we can keep in touch. UA-cam's comment system can be a nightmare to navigate sometimes.
Hi there, There is someone who print with the V400 the HexScraper ? I download the files from the wensite but I can't use them on Cura. I'm new in 3D printing ... Can someone help?
Hi Bryan. I am fairly new to 3d printing, could you give me a bit of advice please . in your opinion which slicer is best Cura or prusa I have a ender S1 pro when I have been using prusa I have put your start G codes and end G codes , they work great prefer those than the standard ones, doesn't seem to let me copy and paste yours into Cura I just can not make my mind up which is best prusa seems easy for me, and your videos are great watch them as soon as I get them. can I thank you Stuart
Man. Printing isn't so much hard as it is familiarizing yourself with everything then realizing very little matters and that you shouldn't listen to the big names on here who have film crews and talk to Joseph prusa on Twitter. Channels like this are the best for reviews but Bryan gets so many messages. Nathan builds robots is good. As soon as this 3d content creation becomes a job because they charge for the review but Bryan tells the truth. The voron crowd are toxic and prusa owners are like apple obsessed Maoists. Prusa like apple makes a polished product but like apple he pays his employees nothing, people blindly defend him for no reason but I'll make the distinction that you don't see apple's ceo make fun of people on Twitter instead of setting an example and deweaponizing his followers. Also every German 3d channel is ran by an engineer, many are gifted but overall most have a superiority complex that should've been stomped out of themin the 40s. Realize by that statement I'm not calling them what they were as it's not the same. Only Tom sandladerer is privileged enough to have a monetized prusa link. I like Tom and Steffan as well as properly printing who is so smart he not going to realize until it's too late that he graduated electrical engineering 20 years ago and content creator won't land him a job in his field that he's way too good at to be wasting it on here. As someone who squandered his own engineering degree it pains me to see people with raw talent do the same yet it looks good on some people in general. Another thing I don't get is why the hell isn't the proven existence of alien bodies and craft found on earth not stopping all the political bickering in it's tracks. Jesus. Regan ended the cold war with a joke about aliens yet this stupid proxy war the US is prolonging and thr people they killed today by destroying the damn in Russia doesn't even make the news. My point. Everyone looks smart until you seek out info and get a clue that most others lack, even highly educated and powerful ones. Hope I helped haha
Are you able to use the pad to add/control additional different printers? Would I be able to order only the 'padd' and use that as Klipper controller for other printers?
Hi! I just saw a post in their V400 Facebook group that looks like they're going to be selling the "SpeederPad" as a separate product. Based on that, I'd say, "Maybe." I don't know if the software loaded on the standalone SpeederPad will be substantially different from that included with the V400. They've started a Facebook group for the Speeder pad; here's the URL: facebook.com/groups/flsunspeederpad/
It's not the first review of it I watch but emit "wow, it's huge!" every time. Somehow managed to miss the hotend lights, both cool and useful (does Klipper control those, can they be made warm?..).
Surly FL-Sun can afford to spend 5 mins creating a script to copy the files over to Cura, some people might not be as computer savvy as some of us, even better they could provide a compiled version with the files already in there.
Honestly the BEST way forward, in my opinion, is for printer manufacturers to STOP providing branded/skinned versions of Cura where the defining features of that particular version are (a) The printer company's logo, (b) The inclusion of configurations for their own printers, and (c) the removal of all OTHER printer configurations except for the Ultimaker ones. Instead, I feel they should submit printer configurations and printer profiles to Ultimaker (by whatever means that may be) for inclusion in Cura. I may or may not be working on a slightly ranty video about that.
Thats a fair point, but its not that difficult if you follow the .txt instructions on the USB stick. Even me as a 3rd world farmer managed it. However, i would appreciate some advise as to getting the speeder pad to run v1.4v2
Very clear and precise video to the point, at the same time by a real human. I've already decided to get one but I can't stop watching videos while waiting haha.

Yeah, the "square peg in a round hole" situation is a uniquely Delta problem.
Hey! If you’ve got some experience with Prusa Mini, could you compare the miniature printing quality of FLSUN V400 and the Prusa Mini please?

Darn, could have used the code last night when I was placing my order. My fault for missing the video. Looking forward to getting it in about a month.
I personaly love that it does not have power recovery, in some cases it could have hurt yourt prints with those little droplets of filaments
I thought it said it does?
@@cdd7672 it doesn't
hi, at 380cm the print stops and gives me a "move out of range" error, please explain
👍 I like it, that overhang test was impressive...another few inches and that printer would be taller then me 🤣

PETG & Velocity Painting. It's the hardest material I have to get a consistent finish sheen. In fact, I gave up trying.
Would always printing the outer perimeter at a consistently slow speed solve that?
@@BV3D probably. A consistent speed can be tricky sometimes.
Printing at a higher temperature can also help. Usually the inconsistent sheen means your temperature is borderline for the material & speed. 260-280 is probably the working range for printing PETG at these kind of speeds.
What about trying a larger nozzle, 0.6 with slightly higher temp e.g. 240?

Supporting higher temp materials with a suitable hotend sounds great, but how to make use of it when the printer isn't enclosed?
