I've had this printer for a few years now and over all i love it, it works very well and has a pretty decent print quality the issues i have are that you can only use the Filament sold by XYZ so its annoying, expensive, and limits filament options i also have issues with prints sticking to the bed but that's a given because of the glass bed i just use some painters tape and that works most of the time its a great printer for starting but i would not recommend it for more advanced people
Just a little hack for you, in school we have this printer (and I was thinking of getting one of these at home) is to put masking tape squares onto the bed. That should help with the sticking!
Just as a bit of help make sure you tune the Z axis when you get it and you will get much better perfect prints. Once you have done the latest updates then you will have acess to more filament types and even the high resolution head.
I could never complete a 3D-printout with this machine. The filament stucks in the dispenser, the feeder cuts the filament, the printer stops dispensing and turns empty figures in the air. It's not usable and impossible to complete something.
I did a lot of work on my printer now. I lowered the pressure on the feeder mechanism by reducing the tension of the spring. It had a force of about 3 kg. I lowered it to 300g, by the use of a screw driver to increase the spacing of the springs windings. I also lowered the pressure of the springs in the filament detectors, to allow a smoother guiding trough. I had to fix the entry for the filament on the extruder with a nylon washer, mounted under the fixation. The cone inside the extruder had some sharp edges, where the filament was jammed often. I had to sand it a bit. Now it prints perfectly.
Reminds me of cheap, Hong Kong made, poor quality plastic crap toys that we got in lucky bags back in the 1950's. Who the fuck would want one of these needs their head testing.
Unfortunately I do not get paid for any reviews - at the time of producing the video I had no issues and all test units printed fine. Have since replaced the unit so haven't had any long term experience however. Whether I would still recommend is another question given the date of the review and the number of models that now supersede it....
Just picked up this model from a goodwill, they thought it was a rotisserie oven so got it for $15 lol.
Nice! I just picked up 2 for $20 myself lmao

Are you able to use other programs beside XYZ’s sortware?

Strange - the only issue I had were getting prints to stick to the bed. Otherwise it was perfect for me.....

Its not junior at all its crap!
You do make it look very easy.
Thanks for a great video.
Can u up grand the nozzle on this machine to be able to use bigger filament like 2.85
Hey the guide tube just won’t stay put how do I stop that from happening
I emediateley disconected the back fan because it is not needed the small print head fan does the job fine on its own with out issuse.
i got two spools of pla jr tangerine pla from an amazon Reseller store. I was wondering what system it was made for.
I just love your voice & accent.
LOL, thanks!
What size of filament can I use for this printer?
How do up write the object to the card. I sent one to the printer from my laptop but it wouldn’t print
Do I need the files on the sd card and also where is the usb
can you print without a spool?
Loved the video! Thanks!
I stopped caring right when I am not allowed to use third party fillaments.
What if the company fails? I cant even use the dang thing? Worthless.
Hi original spoil is empty and I buy new one without chip and printer think spoil is empty hou to reset chip ?
You can use other spools, just youtube it.
its very stupid not to include heating bad. Its a junk....LOL
Make your own like I did. And turned the fan around because mine was sucking air instead of blowing. Works well
@@jayof1975 Can you please share a video of how you did it?

Sure can tell you was paid for this review. This printer is CRAP

I can't even print a single thing with it, its just a toy to play with its crap!
most rubbish printers i ever used
Yes, by todays standards it is, I agree!
