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.
This machine is a horribly overpriced, poor quality POS. The design on this printer may have been done by a 5 year old. Cheap components. Prints just freeze in the middle of the process. Motors break. String breaks. Feeder breaks. Print head nozzle clogs. Customer service is accusative and responses are slow or nonexistent. DO NOT BUY THIS MACHINE. YOU WILL REGRET IT!
Wow – this is the 3rd different website that “Eddie Mac” has posted the same review. Seems sketchy that he’s posting the same comments everywhere.
I’ve been using Fusion3’s printers for 5 years at my University Makerspace – first the F400 and now the F410. Both have been rock solid, blazingly fast, and way more versatile (materials, settings, print heads) than others we’ve had in our space (Ultimakers, Raise3D). Their tech support when I’ve needed it, has been responsive and super-helpful.
Purchased this printer in December 2019, within four weeks the plate glass which this printer uses vs industry standard borosilicate glass cracked as I was removing a print. Be aware, this is considered a disposable item and you have to buy more. The printer enclosure is nice but most of the parts inside are 3D printed. It is now April and filament has worn a groove in the 3D printed extruder housing. Will be contacting Fusion3 for a replacement but it is only putting a bandaid on an existing issue. I too as others have mentioned had to modify the Bowden tube retention system to add pneumatic fittings to keep the tube from popping free at either end. Otherwise prints fast, prints well. Good enough that we have ordered a second unit for the shop
Amazing 3D Printer! Great workhorse that is dependable and reliable. The 2 year warranty gives the peace of mind my business needs to run more high end materials for our clients! Support staff is friendly and helpful and replacement parts are shipped quickly. Even the hotend is under warranty! Enclosed build volume is a huge plus, this thing loves ABS!
