VERY GOOD PRINTER, NEED 3D EXPERIENCE FOR BEST OPERATION.
Too many 3D printed parts for this price point, a poorly designed Bowden retention system, Plate glass bed vs borosilicate and a warranty that so far has proven to be a joke.
Printed parts seem to work just fine so no disappointment there. However, I strongly agree the Bowden tube retention system is Micky Mouse, but after 3 failed tries at fixing it (service did send me new ones but they always came loose at the extruder), I kludged it together by expanding the tube in the retention nut by forcing the tube wall into the nut threads by forcing an awl into the tube lumen past where the screw was positioned, and I then trued up the tube inner diameter where the nut is with a perfectly sized drill in a pair of Vise-grips. Very frustrating to start with this printer due to the Bowden tube problems and many attempts to “fix” it, but since then it has not come loose. If that had not happened, I would give it 5 stars.
Now that the Bowden tube retention has been fixed on my printer, I absolutely love the printer, my favorite out of about 18. Printing big or little parts, with PLA or PCTPE (my two favorites) it is very precise, produces beautiful prints, and I can print faster on it than my other printers. However, from a user interface perspective, they should sort the files on the SD card so that the newest date is at the top, not the bottom as it is. It’s a pain that way, and they should tell you the active print file during and after on every screen.
As I said, it is my favorite printer and I just ordered another one.
