Modix Big-120X Review After a Year! Part 1: V2 versus V3. What's the difference??
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 18 авг 2024
- We've been using the Modix Big-120X in the HartSmart Products shop for over a year now. So it's time to do our "Review After a Year" on this printer. First, let's discuss what's different from the V2 machines we reviewed last year. Newer is better...or is it??
Disclosure: HartSmart Products is a Modix Reseller, but all opinions expressed are those of the ECOstruder alone. For more information, or to get a quote on a machine for yourself, check out the website here: hartsmartprodu...

Great video Brandon😀🙏
Thanks James!!
Hi. Thanks a lot for sharing it. I am thinking on buying the big meter or big 180x. Some questions:
Would you recommend it for moderate industrial use?
How does it perform with large nylon and fibre reinforced objects?
What is the maximum steady temperature you gen in the chamber?
What maximum output rate can you get from the supervolcano with good results? (Surface smoothness not very important)
Thanks a lot!
Thanks for watching! These are tricky questions to answer in a RUclips comment, but I'll give you a qualified yes. These machines are incredibly inexpensive for what you get. But that low price point means that they rely heavily upon the user to get the best out of them. This is why I won't sell a Modix printer to a customer that has never used an FDM/FFF printer before. It's not for beginners in any way. If you know how to print with nylon and fiber reinforced materials on a desktop printer then you'll have good luck doing it on a Modix printer as well. But any small issues you have on a desktop printer are much worse on a Modix printer.
The chamber is passively heated, so the chamber temp will depend on what your bed temp is.
I don't use the Supervolcano on any of my Modix printers anymore. There are a lot of superior hotends available these days, such as those available from Slice Engineering, Takoto, and others.
If you have other questions please email ECOstruder@hartsmartproducts.com!
@@ecostruder wonderful! It helps me a lot. Thanks for answering
Are you also using closed loop motors on this one, or if not do you think the quality is good enough at this point that they wouldn't make any difference? Thanks for the video! 👍
(I'm considering a career change and starting a 3D printing business in the Netherlands, so I'm evaluating options)
Nope, no closed loop motors on the V3 machine, just on our V2. Because the control board is different (no removable stepper drivers) it requires a different type of closed loop stepper than what we used previously. I know there are some out there, but we haven't yet tried it. Good luck with the potential career change!
Hi a great and comprehensive review of the printer. I just bought a x120-v3 and I wonder if it wasn't the case to upgrade to the duex5 directly. How do i upgrade to duex5? I really like the automatic leveling option! In ours it is sometimes a nightmare to get it leveled well. Does the duex5 replace duet 2 or is it an add-on?
Congrats on your new Big-120X! The Duex5 is a nice addition to the Duet 2 control board, but it's certainly not an "easy" upgrade to do. For one thing, each motor will now need its own stepper motor cable if you want to individually drive each of them for automated tilt adjustments. You'll also need to relocate some of the wires so they aren't using the expansion pins. Good luck with the modifications!
Hi! Good Review! we are thinking to upgrade our machine from V2 to v3. How is the duex5 upgrade done? I really like the auto levelling option! In ours sometime is a nightmare to get it well levelled. The duex5 goes instead of the duet 2 or is it an add on?
Thank you for watching! You've got quite a few questions that might be better answered via email or phone call, so please shoot me an email to ECOstruder@hartsmartproducts.com and I'll walk it through with you. Also, be on the lookout for Part 2 to be posted shortly (I'm uploading it right now)!
do you have an update on this?
and also how much did you pay for it? or how much are they going for ? for the 60 size version ? ? ? was software included?
Pricing on these machines varies quite a bit over time, and based on the configuration you specify. Check them out at our website here for more information: www.hsp3d.com.
Hi i have the modix 60 and after 2 years cannot get it to work
Any videos to get started
I’m running 1mm nozzle
Sorry to hear that you haven't had a lot of luck getting your Big-60 working. They certainly aren't the easiest machines to get started with, which is why we at HartSmart Products are always so insistent that people new to 3D printing don't start with them. Even those of us with 3D printing experience can struggle at times, but the machines are certainly capable of producing great results. I'm afraid there aren't any videos for how to get started out there, but if you shoot an email to support@modix3d.com the Modix support team should be able to assist. If you've already done that and are wanting more then HartSmart Products offers paid support packages as well. Contact Support@hsp3d.com to inquire about that. We'll spend some time diagnosing the issues and then can prescribe some potential fixes. Hopefully it's something simple that has just been overlooked!
@@ecostruder Ive been printing for 5 years and this is my 10th printer
I just cant get my head around setting it up
I know cura and ideamaker very well and print great
I’m trying a 1mm nozzle with PETG, modix tell me to up the temperature to 250c, but when i do it boils, i have better results at 200c
@@deanlegg3075 Are you saying that you have good results printing PETG at 200C?!? If you are printing PETG at 200C then I can guarantee it isn't actually PETG on that spool. Either that, or your thermistor/PT100/PT1000 sensor is way off. We print PETG on our various Modix machines all the time, and are typically between 240C (small nozzles, printing slowly) and 270 (big nozzles printing very fast). Hard to know exactly what it is, but something is definitely not right with your setup as you have described it here.
Defiantly PETG, so you think the thermocouple is the problem?
Can i recalibrate the thermistor, or need a new one?
BTW What is that setup called? Its not a traditional coreXY or a bed slinger, but I just don't know the name for it :)
This is a pretty standard Cartesian/Rectilinear design. It's not coreXY or H-Bot or anything special like that. This makes it solid, and simple to understand when assembling and calibrating.
Hi! How do you think, can non-customer download this assembling guide?
Hi! That would be up to Modix. You'd need to contact them at Support@Modix3D.com to see if they will grant you access to their Customers Zone.
Talk to me about that monster spool holder
I think you're probably referring to the "Push Plastic Bulk Spool Payoff System." That's the big stand that is meant to perfectly fit their 3kg, 10kg, 25kg, and even 50kg spools, allowing them to spin freely and feed smoothly into the printer. They are pretty basic, but surprisingly effective.
Hi. Do you sell printers to Australia?
Thanks for asking, but no, we are authorized to sell Modix printers in the USA only. I don't know who they've got in Australia right now, but if they don't have anyone then Modix can sell you a machine directly. Good luck with the big machine!
Is this machine any good at doing large volume polycarbonate prints?
Great question! I was skeptical that it would. But we did some multi-day long Polycarbonate prints for a client and had very little warping. The machine performed perfectly and the finished part was gorgeous (and crazy strong). Keep in mind that it will not print with PC as a completely stock machine. You'll need to upgrade your hotend to print with higher temp materials like PC. Check this out: hartsmartproducts.com/products/modix-premium-printhead-upgrade . You'll also need to coat your bed with something that PC will stick to. I like Magigoo PC, or possibly just a large sheet of Garolite. Both work great for PC.
@@ecostruder Perfect, excellent response thank you for your expertise, cheers!
@@ecostruder Okay I checked out the premium printhead upgrade and I think I'll hold off until they come out with the dual extruder version.
For the Modix I think I'll go for the Big Meter version, it maxes out in build capacity with a whopping 1 billion cubic millimeters, BANG!
Do you have any recommendation for a sturdy durable reliable bulk PC pellet filament maker? I think this may be a requirement for affordable large volume printing.
@@supersasquatch It sounds like you'd like to have a slightly deeper discussion than is practical in the RUclips comments. That's awesome, so let's continue by email instead. Will you please shoot me a message to ECOstruder@HartSmartProducts.com so we can get a bit more detailed that way? Talk to you soon!
@@ecostruder Willl do! expect it in the coming days, cheers
Do you stock a Big-60 V3?
Hi Wayne! We do sell the Big-60 along with all of the other models offered by Modix, but to keep costs down and to ensure that customers always get the latest and greatest updates we dropship them directly from the manufacturer to the customers' doors. We then support customers through the order process, assembly, print quality troubleshooting, and any warranty issues as they work with them. We'd be happy to help you with a Big-60. Please shoot an email to Products@hartsmartproducts.com and we'll get you an order form. Thanks for your interest!
Would you recommend this printer for a teenager
It would really depend on the teenager! But I do not recommend any Modix printer for a user that is new to 3D printing. This machines assume that you already know how to run a 3D printer, diagnose print quality issues, solve bed adhesion problems, repair broken parts, perform maintenance, etc. It is much easier to learn those things on a desktop printer than to learn them on a Modix printer.
@@ecostruder what if the teenager has no experience in 3d printing
@@Jeff75684 Like I said, I really don't recommend this printer for beginners, regardless of their age. I would highly suggest the teenager in question get a desktop printer, such as a CR-10 or Ender-3 (this is why we started selling those on our website, www.hartsmartproducts.com). It's much easier to learn on something smaller and more accessible like those!
It's remarkable how there now appear to be more shops selling modix printers than there are reviews of modix printers, or even owners of printers who have an internet connection
Outside of this channel and like one or two others that also appear to be semi official modix affiliated, I can't even find users. No reddit/Facebook posts of people bragging or needing help, nothing
And as somebody who really wants one that is a bit annoying :D
Thanks for watching! For what it's worth, I've been showing off Modix machines since long before I ever started selling them. But I am starting to see more and more YT videos showing off Modix printers--so hopefully it won't be long before you'll see videos all over the internet about these machines! For more direct thoughts on whether these machines are right for your needs, feel free to shoot me an email directly to ECOstruder@HartSmartProducts.com and we can discuss it!
Do you offer printing services? Looking to get some bigger parts printed.
Yes indeed we do. Shoot a message to Services@HartSmartProducts.com and we'll get you a quote! Bonus points if you want your parts printed in an eco-friendly material! :-)
Asian life matter. Hispanic life matter. Muslim life matter. White life matter all human life race matter. Just that ridiculous thing put a negative on this product and on your channel.
Thanks for your feedback!
