Fusion3 F410

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.

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.

Like so many of us engineers I got my feet wet on 3D printing with hobby / imported machines. It’s a good way to learn, no doubt about it. Once you have an idea what your doing it’s time to move up the ladder to a commercial machine. My company purchased the F410 and we are more than happy we did. Printing ABS and PC without any problems was amazing. Our print times were reduced significantly. For example a 12 hour print on our Ender 5 Plus, was reduced to 4 hours with much more precision and reliability. We use Simplify 3D for slicing, and taking advantage of their “Multi-Layer” function, it can reduces finishing time. We found using “made in USA” filaments a big help as well, no tangles, no weak spots. At the end of the day, with your F410, you load an STL file and get a quality part. As a small design firm, this is a positive sales point to our customers. We have actually had customers video their parts being made!

Very accurate. Best printer ! Easy to use.

Really loving my F410. Just as advertised, fast, prints ABS and other higher temp materials really well. Not sure what “Eddie Mac” is going on about. Yes, some of the parts are 3D printed, but my F410 ( bought in March 2020) is as SOLID AS A ROCK!

I must say Fusion3 – 3D Printers customer support is top notch! They called me early this morning found the problem quickly and have resolved the issue I could not be happier! They have weekly training for us on many topics in the industry and just went above and beyond for us today! A++
