Let me know how easy it is to upgrade using the Kit and if you experience any issues.

Excellent. I’m not experiencing any imperfections with my Bambu Lab printers, but the quality using default settings on the Prusa is definitely slightly better. The noise level is a HUGE plus for Prusa and that is one aspect I love about the printer!

Yea. The quality of prints is exceptional and I’m amazed how it can handle overhangs without supports.

I'm really tempted to upgrade to the Core One model. By the way, what do you think about it? I’d love to have it, even though I don’t print with complex materials. That print speed is just on another level

+1 to the discussion. I also have an MK4 and I'm still amazed by it. Looks like a simple machine but it makes wonders. The quality of the prints is excellent, no problems and errors, no tinkering, just a proper workhorse really. Going to upgrade to MK4S soon, I can't wait!

@@Radhiantfrom what I have seen and read it looks amazing. You can purchase the upgrade kit which is more cost effective if you don’t want to purchase an entirely new machine

@OwenJonesCymruAre you going to upgrade using a kit or purchase the full MK4s?

I’m waiting to get the MMU3. How easy2difficult was that add on to setup for you?

I have the same sentiment. I was looking forward to their multifilament add on. Hopefully they are just redesigning it and will eventually relaunch it. Currently the only option to do multicolor printing is to encode stop points into the Gcode for manual filament switching which is too advanced for most hobbyists. Unfortunately for that the only option is competitor solutions and add ons.

Havent had to call tech support yet, so I cant speak to that. Hopefully it gets better.

Flashforge just released a multi color printer called AD5X! It's basically this printer, but upgraded and with multi color function! 🎉

This one doesn't have a multi color system. They just released a multi color unit which I will hopefully get to test out and review

I have to agree. The print quality is amazing, as well as the speed. I also paid for this V1 during the kickstarter campaign. I hear good things about V2 and hopefully I will get a chance to review the new printer when it comes out.

Yes. I always leave the door closed on my enclosure and it prints perfectly fine with those two materials.

@3uilDStudio can i ask what brand of pla you are using?

Hope you enjoy it! Let me know what you think!

@@3uilDStudio could not be happier, constantly altering the old ender 3 s1, this is more plug and play, just bought another one and a K2

@@3uilDStudio Fed up waiting, so cancelled it and bought a pruca xl 5 colour

I think the purpose of the enclosure is more to keep the chamber warm and/or the temperature regulated for certain material types. There are HEPA Attachments that can be purchased for the Bambu Lab printers. I print with mostly PLA and PETG and have a seperate HEPA filter next to the printers. Id be more concerned if I was printing with ABS or other more abrasive materials.

Really. I wonder if that is an updated version

Thanks for sharing your experience! I agree it's not all bells and whistles. For me, specifically with the delays. As for usage, I have only had it for about 2 months and havent experienced any of the issues with print failures or prints not sticking to the build plate - in fact the adhesion has been great for me and removal of prints has been a non issue compared to other resin printers I use regularly. For my usage the existing profiles have worked for all of my Resin prints and any updates I make in Lychee have carried over to the printer just fine. My review was only based on my usage and first impressions over the 2 month period, so your input is greatly appreciated. The only other issue I experienced was keeping it connected to wifi, however, that issue was resolved by moving one of my access points closer to the printer. Overtime we'll see if I run into any of the same issues, and I definitely will report them in any follow up videos that feature this printer. Everyone's situation is different and Im glad you shared your experience and issues because it lets me and others know what to lookout for. Especially, for such a pricey printer that has had so many delays and build issues prior to it shipping out. I will continue to share any issues I run into overtime, and I hope you and others do as well

Unfortunately with the delays, other brands have released newer more updated Resin printers that can better compete, however, the force Sensing technology is still pretty nice. The output and quality of the prints are amazing as well, but the price is a little offsetting now knowing what else is out there with other brands. Still a solid printer though. Athena just missed the boat in terms of timing because of all the delays and lost the opportunity to make a big splash and impact on the market.

Yea I apologize for not including the file link. I did have footage of the Xenomorph and other nicer prints that I wanted to use in the video, but the SD Card with all that content got corrupted. As for the link to the file itself, you can find the Xenomorph stl using the following link: www.gambody.com/premium/alien-xenomorph-birth?gad_source=1&gclid=Cj0KCQiA57G5BhDUARIsACgCYnzoBe46DbRr7TzfX7lbH4wLyQQjqteXuBSLuUR8ABumPGEpsYGrh50aAsINEALw_wcB

What material were you printing with? I use mostly PLA and PETG and so far so good. I have been having more adhesion issues lately though.

@@3uilDStudio on this printer only PLA

Thanks for the great suggestion. The bottom supports work great. I also noticed that if I do auto-supports it will automatically add supports to the bottom. Thanks for the advice!

I cant say. I havent used the Sovol 3D printer, however, I heard it was a great printer.

I havent printed on this printer with Carbon FIber. Does using Painters tape help?

It continuously gets better with over-the-air updates, so even if you get it now, updating the firmware will ensure you get the latest enhancements and improvement. If you have the money, I would recommend it. I dont think the hardware and configuration will change and any enhancement will be made on the next version of the 3D printer - the Saturn 5. 😀

Appreciate it!

I love my P1S. Cheaper than the X1C but with the same great performance!

Thanks. I love the way everything turned out with the crystal blue resin!

@ also. I have added the Ultra to my table of printers! I haven’t printed with it yet, but can’t wait to see how it stacks up against my DLP machines! Keep printing!

It's definitely not one of the lighter printers out there. Not as easy to lift as a Bambu Lab printer.

Which options were you looking for? Always looking for suggestions and feedback that I can send back to Elegoo and manufacturers when I review their products.

​@@3uilDStudio not sure why, - but my last comment has disappeared, - will write again (even a bit more) and will print screen it. Dont get me wrong, hardware is very nice and it prints fast and I do enjoy the printer, But if for someone wifi is essential please read below. No magic, - Wifi is limited to LAN, you must be at the printer site to use the same wifi or use additional remote desktop software to connect to the computer which is in the same LAN as printer. Most annoying thing, - Wifi options are Limited to Chitubox slicer ONLY, - and yes, you can use it in Free Chitubuox version, HOWEVER, if wifi transferred .ctb or .goo file was created by any other slicer (for example Lychee) it will not print, it will start print, but will stop while burning the first layer with "incompatible file" message. It is Most annoying!!! As User literally Must Slice and save/transfer the final file using Chitubox. So if someone paid for any other slicer previously, - he will be made to enjoy using at least 2 slicer apps or ditch the paid one and pay for Chitubox... Beautiful... Further more, Chitubox will not provide full spectrum of wifi usage options, only basics, - Upload/Delete print file, Start/Pause/Stop and Download the timelapse (funny, not essential, but you cannot manually delete any timelapse files, as Elegoo support advised, it deletes automatically after 20 files threshold is reached, or, read carefully, you need to format and factory reset the printer (later enter wifi passwords and etc). There are no options to check the temperature or move buildplate (up/down) via wifi. So if your printer is far and once job is finished and all droplets fell, you want to move it to the top and come pick up the model, - you will not be able to do it remotely. And yes, you can watch how print goes via wifi camera, but if you print small parts, - you will see the buildplate in/under the resin most of the time :). I print larger items, - so camera becomes handy after few hours of print to check if any supports have collapsed and stop the print if needed (And no, AI camera has never stopped a failed print for me, not sure what "AI" does at all, just and advert, like it was with "Quantum" almost a century ago.). To finalise, if wifi is the selling point for you, - maybe ... maybe... think again... Also, be prepared to be chained to the Chitubox The rest is very SOLID, and Elegoo support comes back quite fast via email or redit, - without asking of your purchase invoice number and etc (I had no broken/malfunctional parts, only the software issues I described above).

Funny, just 5min after my LONG comment, - Lychee released new version which does HAVE wifi support for S4U. Not tested yet, - so my comment above (which does not yet show up), may be irrelevant, at least for Lychee users... I Will test this evening once I am back home

Thanks for sharing. Still having some issues, but its getting better with every update. Right now the biggest issue im facing is the leveling

Unfortunately the P1S was not sponsored. I had to pay for it out of pocket. It would be amazing to get sponsored by Bambu Labs one day... The printers are still the benchmark for me. Cant wait until they release a printer with a larger build volume.

😂

Will do. I also made it bigger in my second attempt and that turned out much better

Good point. I need to do a follow up video to get some recommendations from the community to address and fix some of the issues Im facing with bed leveling.

Have you tried removing it completely and re-adding it? I assume you are connected to the same network. Only other thing that I can think of is to maybe reset the X1C to factory after removing it completely from the handy app. Let me know how it goes.

I was just thinking that as well, but for other manufacturers resins.

Haha. Yea. Its been a while since I worked out. This printer is definitely not as light as others, but the struggle was real. I definitely need to get back to the gym.

Im actually having issues with adhesion now. Prints just wont stick to the plate
