I can not believe that there is a ok printer for $89, amazing! The technology has really grown since I started!
Honestly don't buy this crap printer. I don't believe it's worth even the 89 bucks. It's a waste of plastic and electronics. They should make quality products for a good price that lasts. This product is just designed to add more electronics waste to the pile. China where are your ethics? Oh lol. I forgot..
lllططططططططططططططططططططجججططططجطططن تم ووىنىاترتاو
if you tune it well and maintain it well, its actually quite amazing what a hundred dollar printer can do
I just saw it for only 50€, its Amazing how cheap it gets after one year... I think its a very Good print for its price.
That pony looks very good for the cost of the printer.
I expect getting the settings right would make it a good choice for someone printing minis for D&D and similar small things.
F Huber I think FDM is the wrong technology for minis. If I wanted to make minis, I’d definitely spend a little more money and invest in an SLA printer.
@John Citizen could still use it for props and tiles
Bugger as if I've not spent enough over Christmas, just ordered one for my boy :) well, it's arrived and printing, the included slicer is perfect for younger users.
hooray for over consumption and over spending....
Thanks for sharing. I too thought of it that way too. It's only $89. You aren't forking out hundreds of dollars at this and your samples are impressive indeed. Love your channel. Can't wait for your next vid.
I heard that they added a part cooling fan in the kit now
Lex4G More money out yo pocket
I didn't have a part cooling fan, but there is a duct on thingiverse and the wiring for it is already in place
yep, I had one in mine
I’ll tell you I’m opening mine tomorrow maybe on stream.
BowieMoonen so I there one?
WOW! I can't believe that works. I have had worse prints on my Ender 3 (before calibration of course) 3D printing tech has really grown and come down in price. Amazing! Thanks for the video.
I'm curious about the other thermal runaway situation (or if it even could happen, based on the construction). That is, if the thermistor is still connected to the board but is removed from the hot end assembly, meaning the printer might keep heating the hot end to reach the target temp.
Neat little device!
Looks like an interesting little printer. Good to see safety features have been put in place
You're the second one to do a review on this. On my Monoprice Mini, it also has no cooling fan so I just use a USB dual fan and that always did the job for me. But at this price, it will be great for any parent who wants to get one for there kid who's been dying for one. I hope that you and your family had a great New Year and can't wait to see what you have for us this year.
Impressive Quality for the money
Thanks for sharing this simple printer :-)
I just set up the X2 version and I am super happy!!
i’m honestly really interested in this printer
7:50 who else noticed loose belt on x axis
Noticed it too. Curious^^ was that segment of video made before he had orinted everything? If not that tels me he was capable of those prints with that loose of a belt! ( probably because there is such low print speed it didnt slip but still ) thats wicked! Such an easy fix and you can probably print faster
@Matthew Findley Jeez someone woke up on the wrong side of the bed. XD
I've run any number of tensions on my belt, it's honestly not a big deal for slow prints. The part that actually pulls the head gets taught when the motor is running.
Thank you for sharing your oppinion. Good result for the price
yea that would be a surprise to me too but from where I was setting the prints looked pretty good great job on the review
im definently buying this. thanks alot for this video
Great video. Aside from the price, its a great little printer to give kids who want to learn more about the nuts and bolts of 3D printing.
This thing is so small and adorable!
i bought an Imakrr Startt two years ago for 99 bucks as my then 12 year olds (and mine) first printer. Basically a rebranded tronxy product. sort of a (130 by 140 mm) mini Anet A8 with a v6 clone and no heated bed. We have since ran 600 hours through that printer. We now have a prusa clone a Sunly S8 and building a large scale core XY machine. All because of that little Startt!
Cool little printer, btw, love your T-shirt!
It goes to show how much margin other brands manufacturers are enjoying
No, it doesn't. There's barely any material in this, and dinky little $1 motors everywhere, no heated bed, tiny little lightweight thing overall so cheaper to ship. I'm not going to claim that there aren't many many companies and products with high margins, but if you think of something like Ender3 and its various siblings (Geeetech A10, Tevo Tarantula, etc which all have their advantages) around $200 mark, there really isn't all that much margin in there, probably not that much difference. Correspondingly for 2-ish times the price you don't get a printer that's merely twice as good, you get one that is really like 10 times as good. Not only 4 times the print area and 8 times the print volume, but also much more stable and capable of higher forces, tougher to print materials, etc.
But i don't mean to bash on this little thing, it's kind of remarkable in the mere fact that it works at all in spite of being made of very low-cost hardware. There is value in getting something made which is the barest and cheapest thing that could possibly work, someone might just need exactly that to get themselves off the ground.
@@SianaGearz Even then to get the features you described, I can just buy from China. It's much cheaper because of your Taxation in the West. The west always lose in terms of price
Not necessarily. The ones that come out first have development costs. The later ones do not have such steep development costs, but have price elasticity from competition.
Very nice and informative presentation. Big thanks!
I’m going to get this printer! I need a small cheap printer for doll customization, and with a bit of sanding and with epoxy should make some pretty good pieces for doll customization! Thanks for the review! ☺️
Awesome little machine for the money. I can't believe how far 3d printing has come and how far the prices have dropped!
wow! impressive for sure. A perfect gift for the kiddos to pop curiosity
For $89 this is good value. You can't complain really. Happy New Year Joe
Excellent review.
printing better than my chiron at present lol. happy new year Joe!!
thank you Joe for the Malta-Red prints :)
This is actually really amazing. It's so cheap for a 3D printer, under 100 dollars and still produces good quality prints! And it has thermal runaway protection! The fact that it even works at all is amazing. It seems stable enough and it has a direct drive extruder. It might even be able to print flexible filament. For 89 dollars, I think it's worth the money. It works well and is easy to use. It could be a good addition to a workspace for printing small and medium sized parts.
I got this 3-D printer and then I watch the review and when I got it it works better than expected I wanted a low budget device that can make 3-D models if your kid wants A 3-D printer this is when to get them it’s super easy to set up in the newer models you can buy on Amazon come with a rocket ship 3-D print sample and within about 25 minutes it should be finished printing I’d like to say I’m happy with this purchase and it’s one of the best budget 3-D printers I’ve ever had I highly recommend it
I work with very expensive industrial printers and I am surprised and excited to see these inexpensive printers starting get better. I hope they use the fan and wifi parts on the board soon.
Thank you for this great video. I've been wanting to get into 3D printing (since I do a lot of DIY synth stuffs and am often in need of small parts), but the price was always an issue. When I saw this cheap thing I doubted it would be any good, but glad to see it holds up!
Going to order soon :D
A much better printer at this price range is the Tronxy X3 (it’s a kit, so you’ll have to put it together, but it sounds like you probably know how to assemble LEGOs so you’ll be fine). It’s way bigger, much much faster printing, and higher quality prints. If you get one you’ll want 2 mods and then it’s golden (and they are printable with like $0.40 in plastic, so no big deal). It’s just a way better machine, but it does take a while to assemble (it’s fun though, it really is just like being a kid again but with “high tech” LEGOs, but pretty much all aluminum extrusions and a few bearings. It’s just a lot of screws, haha!
It’s my second printer (first one I built over 6 years ago and just modified everything on it, a total Frankenstein monster totally tailoring it to my needs and preferences, but I wanted a second one). Sure I wanted to spend $500 on the second printer, but honestly didn’t like most of them, they were all basically Ender 3 level of performance (which isn’t bad for the Ender 3), but I wanted the fun of building another one, and the Ender didn’t have a parts bucket/kit option so I went with this. If you have the budget Ender 3 is better but the Tronxy X3 is remarkably impressive for its under $100 price tag shipped to your door in the US. (PS, I’m a mechanical and aerospace engineer, I love designing and modifying everything, almost as much fun modding printers as using them to make gears and whatever else I need printed for my projects, most of the mainstream printers are very modding/upgrade friendly).
Looks like I'm gonna get this to try out 3d printing for the first time
love me some Vexento, happy music also nice video :D
I just spent $84 to fix my hot end on my printer. This printer looks like it has the potential to be an affordable fun start to get into 3D printing.
Sounds like a bad hottend design and I’d change it personally unless it broke with user error and you just had it smash into an object and destroy itself with some powerful motors and flying across at 200+ mm/s (aka “head crashing”)
Most hotends are like $15 (the extruder is not part of the hottend), so like when I wanted to switch to cheaper 3mm rolls it cost me like $12 for the heatsink/heater block/heater/thermocouple/nozzle/quick connect (I switched mine from 1.75 direct to 3mm Bowden for more speed) and it works well (I have printed above 150mm/s through bigger nozzles and it handles the flow rate just fine), even printing over-extruded for 1.5mm to really dump material in fast because I use it like a rapid prototype machine and I can make multiple per hour of 3 inch diameter by half inch thick double herringbone gears (solid infil) on my machine with smaller 0.5 nozzle.
I’ve seen people on robotics teams get way worse hot ends for like $60 and I look at it and point out a lot of flaws compared to mine in like 10 second glance, you obviously need to know what to look for but I’m shocked the price variation is so much for often inferior products (and yeah that design sucked in every way I thought it would). It’s bad when the purchasing is in charge of someone with the logic of “well it costs more so it must be better” and ignores the overall inferior design.
I could see a nozzle costing $85 though, maybe that’s what cost so much on yours (or it’s some proprietary inferior garbage designed so poorly it breaks partly in the hopes of scamming more customers with replacement parts like those Makerbots with wailing motors and crappy single piece driver board controllers that seem to blow up unlike most DIY parts, inexcusable poor quality for $2k machines losing to $200 DIY machines). You can tell I like proprietary right? Haha!
That's fascinating that a printer that cheap works so easily and prints.
This is great for teaching kids how to use CAD, Blender, Max and then to make their creations 3D
FYI: I bought the same 3D Printer a few days ago and got a X1 with an ET4000 V2 (Atmel Atmega1284) mainboard. So don't expect to always get a 32Bit mainboard.
I'm glad you made this video, I've been looking at this printer and trying to find out the specs and info to compare it to the Prusa Mini, which I have ordered. I will be waiting for the X2 version of this machine as it includes an LCD on the console and more controls like preheat, I also like that the X2 moves the hot end away from the part when paused then returns when you resume the print job.
You've confirmed my thoughts about this machine and I will be ordering when the X2 is released in 1 month. Thanks :D
I bought the Creality Ender 2 for $120 and that is a great printer and produced beautiful prints.
There is now a pre-installed cooling fan on it. Small but its already installed. They also give you like a model to "upgrade" the thing that diverts the air so you can replace the pre-installed one. Might change the fan for a bigger one, like the one he showed on the video.
I was thinking of buying a printer for my 16yo son, but now I've seen this, yes I think it's a great model to start with. Nice-1...!
Awesome little printer, thanks for posting the review. Have been playing with it since Christmas, the key to good quality from it is go slower. 27mm/s seems to be the fastest before quality starts to degrade. Also too 0.1mm seems to be the finest it copes with, without making a mess. Will look at adding the fan, keen to grab the link to the .stl proposed for this. :)
Make a video and let us know if you add the fan!
Thank you. I have found the 3d printer for me.
If you didn’t know, Easythreed came out with an X2 version that includes a part cooling fan.
How would you describe the accuracy?
Dude! For $89? This thing is outstanding! It looks like they built the hotend from some of the OLD Reprap designs. I hope you keep using it and keep us informed. If I don't get one my self, I would love to hear about the kind of mantainance experience you have.
"Joe Cool" T-Shirt. Nice
I just picked one of these up today for $75 canadian. It is used but from what i can tell it was just the free filiment. I know its cheap but im not looking to enter a whole new hoppy I am just adding another tool to the tool box. Everything i can do to make it work better while staying cheap will be done.
Move ahead to Aug 1, 2020: received mine (printer #31) from LightBox in China, fan duct and fan was installed, very nice quality for the price, and way better than all early reviews, Handles TPU.
I like the Product!!!😊😊😊
THIS is what I've been waiting for. A fully functional (and mostly assembled) printer for a reasonable price. That it can be used to make parts for a larger, open source printer cheaply is a bonus. Too bad the "flash sale" is only 1% when I checked it.
Just don't leave it unattended.
@@thilotech yea I dont want this thing catching fire when im not there
You could get a monoprice select min
Please keep us informed if you do design a holder for the coolingfan. I have both X1 and X2 (X2 has a screen and a rotary button).
I bought this same printer 2 years ago because of its price. Mine came with a part cooling fan. Now i have 3 more printers ranging from 170 to 400.
Interesting. Thanks!
Hey do you know how to change the PLA mid print without it starting from the beginning again?
Fantastic! For $89.99, it's great.
Sweet video thanks
At that price point I was impressed....thanks for sharing....Jack
J Olliemark anet A8 costs 75$
This would be so nice for my grandkids. I can't even trying to make one at that price, even using parts I already have and calling those free parts. Thanks for posting the video and not just reformatting your memory card to be forever lost.
Read my post from a little while ago. A Tronxy P802M kit can be bought for the same price or lower, and is a much more capable printer.
What other filaments can this printer use? Is only PLA? Great video by the way...
Worth every cent
I have the K-9 version and I am shocked it works better than my other printers
looks good, my only concern is quality control, you got a good one, but was that just look, or are they all as good?
Slick with the subscribe suggestion, lol.
Thanks for the review. Was intrigued by this one on AliExpress.
Fantastic video 3DMN! I bought this little thing and it just shipped! I'm looking to make a video on it myself when it arrives, and I'll plug your video cus of the inspiration you gave me.
I have one question though: What 12V fan did you use for your ad-hoc cooling? I'm trying to find one with a good length wire so it won't be too tight while printing. Thank you!!
Can i know about the measurement accuracy about this printer?
Inside the extruder, above it inside the orange plastic casing, there is a small fan 5:59 . Could anyone please tell me what the purpose of this fan is? Is it running continiously? Could one let the whole extuder-casing away, and the re-purpose this fan as an print-cooling-fan, instead of adding a 2nd fan, as you did?
Que puedo hacer si se me despega de la cama el filamento al imprimir ?
Can you scan a picture or maybe an object to print im kinda just researching why i want to know.
what slicer are you using with the easy threed x1?
"Thermal Runaway" and magnetic plate, it literally offers more with that as some 300€ bigger ones. The nice point is, it´s IDEAL if you are a tinkerer who can upgrade the frame for instance. Love how this one turned out. Just had a giggle by thinking "Hmmm... let´s test a large print at 60mm/s" Joe leaves for the night, turns back, just finds all parts of the poor lil freak scattered around with the motors still moving... :P
:D 60mm/s, the thing just about hemorrhages... 27mm/s is the max I've got without the quality going south. So yes, slower than the big boys, though it chugs away quite well...
I've had similar so I clean the plate with 'bathroom cleaner' and scrub it and dry it well before each use. It's done the job. No more peeling off half way through a print. Chuffed to bits with mine.
That is awesome, I recently bought a printer for $120 and it wasn’t bad either, I wonder how this compares. Mine has a heated removable bed though
I have a question can a ok lab top be able to run the stuff to use this?
(I am trying to buy one to make some stuff I need for testing)
Thank you for a great review! can you use a 3rd party slicer with this machine, like Cura or Simplify3d?
What Cura settings are you using? I got most of it figured out, now I'm just messing with flowrate multiplier and I didn't know if there was a better way/specific value you recommend.
Can u use these printers to print anything and wat rope thing would u use for this printer pls help me
Great video! The print quality could even be better if the belts were tensioned correctly. (7:50)
I think tom said those motors are really easy to break the tiny gears inside
Maybe it's risky?
Michael WithadoubleB that doesn’t have to do with tensioning the belt. The belt can be tensioned properly with just a zip tie and it’s pretty easy and not risky to do.
@@KrishnaVijayraman how would you use a ziptie to do it?
I would 3d print a belt tensioner, it's 30 minute job and requires a small spring and maybe some screws aside from 3d printable stuff.
@@lazar2175 you can see zip tied belts being tensioned on smaller printers such as this and the tronxy xy-100. A belt tensioner is overkill as you can get good tension by just lining the jaws of the belt with each other and then zip tying it tight to lock the jaws in place. You have to make sure you can pull the belt as tight as possible though before you line up the jaws (without putting too much strain on the belt so that it doesn't break). This should provide good belt tension and you can clip off any excess belt provided you zip tie it near the extruder head (obviously not near the bearings). In fact if you look at the back of the Prusa printers, you can see what I mean by locking the belt with its own jaws.
@@KrishnaVijayraman Thanks a lot, i wouldn't have thought of that in ages lol, this will come in handy because i made my own printer and my belts stretch out so i just 3d printed a small gear tensioned by 2 springs from a ball point pen.
This solution is much more elegant and will increase the reliability of my 3d printer because my belt will sometimes slip out or get loose.
Thank you so much!
As long as it is calibrated, any printer will often do. You dont get super quality for a high price, part cooling fans are not necessary for pla or a heated bed either. Petg prints go fine on mine cheap homebuilt in wood and aluminium tubes. As long as you take time to adjust most printers are equal to a prusa or a mendel
Super impressive.
Was just looking at getting a first 3D printer! Almost impulse bought an Ender but this looks promising, though I do worry that I have no idea how you got those models. Are you solely importing ones other people make onto those SD cards or are you running software capable of creating custom prints?
Hey! great video. I decided to buy it thanks to you. Its gonna be my first 3d printer and i just want it to print small cases and little pieces nothing serious, however i would love if you could detail all the "mods" and tweaks you did to this little machine to make it run better than it was stock. I have 0 experience and it would help me and people like me alot. Thanks again!
Also, i saw that when you pull the piece from the bed it leaves marks and residue, is this a problem in the long term? is there a way to keep it nice and clean?
This printer would be good for schools because you can have so many with a quick set up at a low cost
How long do you recommend to keep the printer on for the same print?
I am afraid of making prints of more than 2 hours
Not sure if anyone already said this but, there is an extra fan socket inside the noozle box. I heard someone mention it on another review and it would be good to know just in case you want to add a cooling fan inside
Just bought one for my little siblings and im testing it now. I had some extra filament from my ender 5
did you make a clip for the cooling fan and what model is that fan?
I have one...prints pretty well...but the only problem is it uses those slow 28BYJ-48 geared steppers...so printing at much over 10mm/s will cause the motors to get quite hot
Definitely a toyish printer..but GREAT if you want to get something for the kiddo's to play around with...but is pretty darn fun!!
which settings did you use? my test print didn't turn out so smooth..
While waiting for a cooler fan, could you just say a small desk fan next to it for the same effect?
wat software do u use for this that is free and how would u get a file a put it into the 3dprinter
Do you think this is good enough to print off 28mm Warhammer-stye models?
I've been wanting a 3d printer for what feels like ever now especially since I'm a graphics student who makes 3d models, but then again I'm student on a fixed income atm, would you recommend this printer or something else?
I might have to try man again the heating nozzle that came with mine is a little bit different it does not have Teflon tape around it and has a rubber grommet on the end of it it looks a little bit different so I could be a different upgraded model
I bought one and I can't get that quality. Could you please share your settings and the slicer that you are using? Thanks a lot
And another thing when it comes to how his printer came out in mine I was actually just printing directly off and pulling it directly out of a box as is no modifications at all in the current state besides having the build plate itself get to a point where I can't even do please print so therefore I had to use the 3M blue painter's tape method
Where did you get the cooling fan
Prints better than my out of box tronxy.
how do you change the sd card
