Looks like a great invention, I don’t need one but I enjoy watching your wood turning/lathe work 😊
Thank you Lisa
Bought this a few weeks ago, since then it has been printing almost 24/7. The print quality as stock is excellent, can't wait until I get some upgrades on it.
It works very well for sure.
I just got the X4 Pro and love it so far.
I love this printer. I wonder how much better the x4 Pro is?
Well that looks like fun 😮😊
Pretty fun
Coo, someday I might get offered one ! LOL
I can send your info to them.
Looks pretty good. The large size does give more flexibility for printing bigger things, so that's kind of a plus. Looking on the web site, it is capable of printing more than PLA, so that's another plus. Biggest negative I see for this and the other very inexpensive 3D printers is not having an enclosure. That works OK for PLA, but if doing ABS or some of the other materials, not having a more controlled temperature environment leads to a lot of warping of the pieces and also layer adhesion issues in some cases.
Great information Mark, Thanks
Cool new toy 😎
Thanks
What's the learning curve like for an FDM 3d printer compared to a resin one? I've found my cheap resin one really easy to use, but filament looks like a minefield with all the nozzle options, leveling, temperature control and stuff.
It's very easy to use. I put it together, downloaded Ultimaker and downloaded a few files from thingiverse and I was off to the races.
I've had mine for over a year now. I paid $460 when it first came out. I can understand that the plastic crossbar can make people itch, but it's there for a reason. It acts as a resonant vibration damper. Similar to the dual Z axis POM carriers for the Z nuts. If you look closely, you can see that the bronze Z nuts are floating in the carriers and the system works very well. I run mine from the USB port on the right-hand side via a Raspberry Pi running Octoprint. The biggest benefit to me of this printer and the reason I bought it was how quiet this machine is. We live in an apartment and it has to live with us in the living room. It uses a 32 bit controller and silent drivers for the steppers. It's still not silent but it's orders of magnitude quieter than my old Ender 3. I effectively wore out the coating on the fixed glass bed and I now use a 300x300 Garolite/G10 2mm sheet and the aforementioned glue sticks. It's a lot easier playing around with glue sticks if the bed's removable and you can run it under the faucet. I modded my machine to get the spool off the top and that reduces the apparent size of the machine. A spare entire print head assembly can be bought off Amazon for around $55 and I upgraded it to metal for high temp operation but I've found that the only filaments I run are PLA, TPU and PETG because they don't stink and they give me all the mechanical profiles I need (why would anyone run ABS when you have PETG). I have a suspicion that this will be my last 3D printer. I use mine for making the things we need, not for the fun of 3D printing.
Great information Paul. Thanks.
Looks like technology is increasing and prices are going down. thanks for your review
This is a good machine especially for $300
Aren't linear rails belt driven as well or am I missing something?
Well yes, I was wasn't clear what I was talking about. Sorry. I was actually talking about he wheels being driven by the belt.
Maybe you should make your glow in the dark hands for your clock on the new printer…you would have it done quicker than Amazon.
That is a really good idea. Thanks.
Ok, I can see where this gadget could be fun, even just whipping up little toys for the grandkids (are this strands nontoxic?)… but what’s intriguing me - what is that white light, stage right, that lights up periodically? I was going nuts trying to figure out what was triggering it to flash on and off? Oh, look, something shiny! (It’s a movie reference, guys)…
Haha, that's one of my 20 security cameras. It lights up when there is movement. The PLA is food grade.
No magnetic build plate still...
No sir, I thought that was an issue, but then it stuck and then popped off after it cooled down.
What do you do with the 3D poop? Idea... cast it in resin and turn it.
Haha, not sure resin would stick to it well.
❤🙂
Thank you
25th view for your 25th favorite subscriber 😅😂😂😂
Haha
$199 now, just got mine.
I still use mine. No real issues yet.
@@MoonpieCreations Prusa or Cura slicer?
I use Acura.
It's a hard sell today, maybe for $179, it needs to be upgraded for at least $150.
I'm not sure you will find anything that is high quality at $150. But that is just my opinion.
@@MoonpieCreations No of course, that's why I wrote that you need to upgrade Artillery x2 for $150 so Arti x2 can compete.
it's $199 now. Free shipping
@@BariumCobaltNitrog3n where at?
@@WhiteWolfos At Artillery. There was a $100 off code from $299 on the site
Lol. Bro. That print isn’t perfect.
Bro for a first print out of the box I would disagree.
@@MoonpieCreations fair enough, I missed that part. Anyways. Great review. Forgot to mention that.
@@JohnJerde no issues brother. I have started to tune this thing to get those small little whips and other issues out. Pretty solid machine for $300 though.
