Delta, Klipper, it is like second nature to you. Your explanations are spot on, you show us this world of precise and fast printing without being intimidated and you tell the manufacturer what to improve. This is another great, very well researched review. Thank you Aurora and Helios. But where are the bloopers? You have grown to over 29000 subscribers, wow.
That's how 3d printers should be reviewed! I'm sure that very soon this channel will be the main reference for the 3D printing industry along with CNC Kitchen Thank you very much for your hard work!
Your videos and reviews are truly outstanding, one of the best resources and channels there is for 3D Printing, and I too don't understand how you don't have x100 more subscribers. Thank you for all your videos!!!
Thank you for finally explaining the benefit of running Klipper (or a Raspberry Pi) and how it 'bypasses' the mainboard processor's processing limitations. That's the first time I've heard it explained that way and it makes complete sense now.
I have just installed Klipper on an original CR10 with a RPI 3b, the quality and speed improved very much and I still use the original motherboard!!!! kudos for klipper, you should try and make a video on how to resume an old 3d printer like cr10 with klipper, if you like I can give you may configuration :).
@@gamebosan5965 I put klipper on a stock Ender 3 and hit around 80mm/sec with input shaping 😊 klipper is awesome! Did some hardware tweaks and hitting 120mm/sec on supports etc now. Definitely recommend!
WOW Glad I found your channel very informative thank you. I just bought a speeder pad today for my QQS Pro and I found the answer to your time issue by accident lol. go to Home Screen, configuration- settings then scroll down on the right hand side until you see timezone, change the GMT here to suit your location. For me here in Western Australia I used +8 hours GMT when it reboots it will change the time. I hope this helps. Thank you. Wayne
Hey, you nailed mm/s! 👏😂 This is the most thorough 3d printer reviews channel I've found, and I'm using your reviews to decide which printer to get. So thank you so much for sharing your expertise.🙏 I've watched multiple RUclips reviews on 50+ different printers, over a month-long period, and I still don't know what to get. But you guys are getting me closer than anybody else has, so I really appreciate that!🙏 Plus, unlike a lot of other channels, you're teaching which upgrades can potentially turn a printer that I checked off of my list into the printer I end up buying. Also, the bloopers are great! You are so professional and articulate that it instantly makes you seem like a reliable authority. And then the reviews themselves validate that. But the bloopers at the end add a great balance! You two are doing such an amazing job that I would be shocked if you didn't have one of the biggest 3d printing channels on RUclips within just a couple years time. Thanks again.👋🙂
I have the FL SR and I really like it, it is fast. This is probably going to be a buy for me but I have never used Klipper before. The fact that you have been using open printers for printing filaments that for years we were told needed an enclosure is fantastic. Most of these printers you have reviewed recently seem to be able to print just fine. Another vote for a filament review. So many choices. Thanks again for the quality reviews here. Great asset to the community and my credit card company is forever in your debt!
I had wanted this style printer when I first began to look for a bigger printer. We had used the geometry in Military projects for Flight simulators and later in high speed Robotic assembly. I knew it had speed and accuracy but the price and print volume was limited. Now we see the 410 mm height but my God the 4 foot printer height would scare me. One thing I did not hear was price. The speed and quality is great and the parts used seem quite High Quality. You did a find review accurate, informative and you are treat to listen to. Thank You and take care, D
Wow, the best reviewer. You're so comprehensive covering all the important aspects of the printer. It's so nice to see a review where large items are printed, thank you!
Just came across this channel, Wow it s 3d printing gem of a channel. I have bought a second hand v400 and must say of some little maintenance, cleaning and lubing this thing is solid as a rock. So ordered the T1 and the wait is on.
Aurora drops all these great bits of info (like the Elmers glue, 99% alcohol, etc) at random places in her videos, so now I feel like I have to watch _all_ her videos! Aurora, could you perhaps write one book or make one video that covers _everything_ you know about 3D printing?
Hope you get a chance to review the new FLSUN S1. It's massive, and has perhaps been rushed to market, but I have high hopes it'll be another solid delta.
I may have to try Klipper. I have several Raspberry pi's that are from robot kits that I haven't played with in a while. I have one set up right now with Octopi. I can run my 2 Enders and 2 cameras to monitor them. Great video Aurora.
Hey Aurora! I found your channel recently and I like it very much. If you don't mind a few suggestions from an engineer, though: - absolutely do not prioritize infill density when evaluating the strength and/or the weight of your print, like in the case of your laptop holder. Increasing wall thickness (wall line count and/or wall line width) is way more efficient - in the sense that you can increase your part's strength by increasing the wall thickness with less material than with infill increased. - a consequence of this is that in many cases the infill used is an overshoot. Like in the case of your Deadpool: you could've achieved the same part strength with 1 or 2 more walls, but half the infill density, and less overall material used. Furthermore, if you're only after visual quality for aesthetic (not functional) prints, you should definitely give a try to Cura's infill pattern "Lightning". It uses SO much less material, yet maximizing skin support. This of course also leads to huge time savings, besides raw material. - why don't you try some more premium filaments instead of the $13-$17 PLA's you usually use? I understand that the costs add up for you and your brother but you could try and arrange some partnership with some higher quality brands. This could also shed more light on your stringing issues - sometimes it's not even the printer's fault, but the material that isn't of great quality. Hope you can read my comment and tell me what you think! Happy printing!
I think you are the only one that didn’t point out the ream of paper that came with this printer. I would like this. By the time I can afford to get it a newer model will be out. Good points you made on the cons.
Excellent video review! I have been curious about this printer from the moment Flsun announced it. I have the QQS-Pro from Flsun and enjoy it for what it is. I have two Bambu X1 Carbon with AMS and two other very entry level printers I started out with. Keep up the amazing video reviews!
I love the Bambu Labs X1 Carbon. It is not a perfect 3D printer but it is very much worth more than what it cost. I can't say dropping that kind of money is easy for pretty much anyone. I had the money and love 3D printing and wanted it after seeing Arora Tech's video. Sometimes you just have to spoil yourself.
@@SPACE_TRAVELLER_01 to be honest it really depends on how you feel about 3D printing. Is it a hobby to just have fun and create things. Or do you plan on taking it further and making money from 3D printing. I would also see what other reviews are saying about both 3D printers. Flsun makes a great printer and so does Bambu Labs. I can't really recommend one over the other.
@@jeppyfrost Well the flsun is currently available here in europe for 880€ while the X1C costs 1600 :D I also thought about getting the normal X1 and just upgrade what id need. Gor example i dont care if its aluminum or plastic case or some soecific sensors... And if they release an X2 next year id be pissed😄
I just noticed in the video that the v400 doesn't seem to use a reverse bowden. I get that this avoids having that tube getting in the way as the print-head moves up, but it also means that the force of the extruder pulling on the filament has to be countered by the print-head. As the head anyway cannot get all the way to the top (because of the arms of the delta), my gut feeling would be that adding a reverse bowden would be beneficial both for the force it transfers to the fixed top, but also to keep hygroscopic filament away from the air ...
Tips to make your prints Stick, 1) flex steel or PEI & plastic type sheets, lightly sand the un-textured print surface. 2) use hair spray, like Rave 4x mega hold always unscented, also Rave with ClimaShield works very well, Aquanet there max hold, also works great, this allows a bearer to help protect any surface plus helps it stick better. 2-3 light to med coats. been doing this for over 6 years. I dont have issues with any of my printers for over 5 years now sticking. every 5-10 prints use acetone/nail polish remover unscented to clean PEI coated surfaces.
Excellent review. You two make a great team, so I hope you continue to do so in your grownup years! ;-) Also, I think you missed one Big Con on this printer: Unlike its predecessor FLSUN-QQ-S2, the V400 "Does Not have Power Loss recovery" which can be important in this day and age of rolling blackouts!
Awesome video. This is the printer I’ve been lookin at getting. Just getting into 3D printing and this video was great. Made me excited to get the thing in.
I bet the stringing was due to a default Z hop on retraction. I always check that setting on new profiles. Very nice printer and top notch review as always! I had the same idea for spring compressed delta ball-joints many years ago but I stalled on the project. Mine is a bit better due to ultra light components resulting in less inertial mass. I have to get back at it! I just need to find those horizontal cupped ends they use for the joints or find a way to easily fabricate some from existing components. That was what stalled the project in the first place, 3d printed components just wouldn't hold up for long. If this is something you want to pick up let me know and I'll share the details.
I'm always impressed by your videos detail and careful testing. I hope Anker Make send you the M5 when it is available, have you contacted them? I think saying this printer is 400mm/s is a bit cheeky when it's only travel moves. But if it can do 350mm/s for infill I think it could also do that speed on inner walls.
Ordered mine yesterday. My first task will be designing something to Mount on top for my filament dryer. Either that or maybe a shelf with pulleys and bearings.
Hi, could you please tell, how is your experience with flsun v400, how is the printing quality? I want to buy a good large 3d printer for helmets and large objects 👐
I haven't used Klipper yet, but it sounds like a pretty drastic improvement in terms of performance and usability over Marlin combined with OctoPrint. The V400 seems like the real deal, but would be hard to enclose if you want to print technical filaments like polycarbonate.
I love the Delta type robots. I thought about building one out of Lego. The hard part would be figuring out the algorithm for programming it. I could build it and control it manually to start off with. I'm surprised they can be so precise. There must be zero play at the ends of the 3 arms that connect the slides on the screws and the end effector. Just a small move of the screw can move the head quickly. I just bought the Ender-3 S1 Plus and an Elegoo Saturn 2. I haven't printed anything on it yet because I am waiting to get the resin tomorrow. Now I want a Delta printer. LOL.
Can you share a link for your Cura (ABS/ PETG/ PLA / TPU) settings? A lot of people who review provide a brief description of settings, but a direct import would be a lot easier. Good Review of this printer!
It is a wonderful printer, but it is not quiet. The faster the arms move, the louder it gets. I can easily hear it in the room down the hall. I've also had a few major failures. After slowing the print speed down into the 250mm/s range, the print worked fine. My printer is larger so it has time and space to really speed up. Don't get me wrong, it is still a great printer, but like any 3d printer, there is lots to learn about temp, flow rates, filaments, speeds, and various other adjustments. After two weeks with the printer, I'm having a great time.
i didnt even know they had this one, i was just talking about picking up the sr but i gotta look into this one now. i liked the mgn12 rails on the sr how is the motion system on this one, hard to see in the video if it had the linear rails or rods. welp after seeing the price i want be getting one of these. a bit over the price im willing to spend on one plus i have to many as it is but still looks like a really nice machine. maybe i'll end up with one at some point just not anytime soon.
Wonderful well made video with a very knowledgeable young woman. Thank you. Aside from that, I was hoping this printer would print with a smoother finish but apparently it does not.
I assume this is all with a .4 nozzle. I can’t only imagine what it’ll do on a .6 or larger. Also, have you tried lowering temps to help with stringing? I also use the slicer setting that makes the head not cross perimeters.
This machine is giant and a monster 👾. Thanks again for the great information and effort you put into this 👍 ✌️ 💪 😎 🇺🇸 What is your favorite brand of filament?
Have you tried connecting an accelerometer for klipper their input shaping? FLSun seems to have shipped these with a pretty good setting, but each printer likely has some variation after assembly. Maybe the quality will be higher.
If you want to print something taller, you need this FLSUN V400, the print volume 300(diameter)x410mm, while the X1 Carbon is a 256x256x256mm. But if you need multiple colors or want to use breakaway support filament, you need the BambuLab AMS. For printing single color regular sized model, I think the X1 still prints a little bit faster, with the Bambu Slicer, it also prints better.
The Creality Sonic Pads with Klipper just went on sale, so I bought one to use on my S1 Plus. They expect to ship by the end of October. For a limited time, they are taking $10 off the list price. I hope Creality will send you one to review Aurora.
Thank you for your review. I should mention for other viewers that I pre-ordered this in mid July and it has not been shipped yet, nor can I reach out to flsun because their support email address is invalid. They are still taking pre-orders so know that flsun is having trouble fulfilling existing orders.
Dam so u can't reach out to anybody? They have a thousand dollars of mine lol I'm sure you too!? When was yours supposed to be shipped? That's not good news. Mine said they would ship October 10th for November oreeders but your still waiting hmmmm
Hi Aurora !, Have you figured out what is the best setting to reduce stringing for V400 ?...the stringing issue is driving me crazy. Love this review lo, very informative !!
I'm getting real bad shifts in the 3d print when I'm printing on the SR. I changed the belts and I worked perfect for a week. Then all of a sudden the layer shifts are ruining ever print? What are the common causes of this?
Love your channel. Trying to decide between the CR-10 Smart Pro and the V400 for a printer (yes, my first. Go big or go home, as they say). Which would you suggest? Update: Ended up getting an Ender-3 S1 Pro. So far it's going well.
Klipper runs firmware retraction rather than gcode retraction. Does cura have the "use firmware retractions" check box? (I use superslicer so I'm not familiar with cura) Maybe that will help the stringing, I know with my ender 6 I chased stringing for days until I realised I hadn't enabled firmware retraction in the slicer. Also, can you still use mainsail to control klipper? Or is it all done on the touchscreen?
@aurora I am all for going fast but do you think the Qidi Plus X or this one would be best for accurate prints with all filaments. Thank you, I love your reviews.
If you want fast, Qidi is printing at normal speed around 50-60 mm/s as it runs Marlin. In terms of accuracy, most printers are similar, this V400 is in line with other printers even printing at high speed. Thanks
These machines are very impressive… if it was just a lil bigger build plate like a 12” circle isn’t bad at all but when you are taking up so much room already vertically you might as well make it a little larger in diameter where you could at least fit a 300mm /12” square on the build plate … it’s tuff to have such a large printer and have a small bed slinger or box printer have a way larger build volume. And take up way less space … But I would like to have a delta printer just to watch it print nothing much more satisfying than watching a delta
Excellent video and explanation, everything is super clear, I also just bought my V400, I would like to know if it can also be used with any prusaslicer profile
Seriously considering buying this printer but my only issue is that people seem to have a hard time getting consistent and quality prints from ABS and cf nylon filaments…I put a deposit down for the X1 Carbon but I’d really like to save the $650 if the v400 is consistent with harder materials…if anyone has any experience…please reply here!
I assume it is easy enough to create a holder that mounts on the frame. Even stick magnet on the speeder and the holder and mount is SR style. USB and powercable could be routed better. I am considering to buy this printer and make a few changes to it, and would appreciate comments on that. Adding usbhub for cam in top part. I wanted to replace the hotbed heater to a 220V higher power type for faster heating. Change the connection of the printhead to a single connector for easy toolchanges. Make additional tools such as a laser, plotter and cutter. Also on my wish list is an enraged rabbit carrot feeder. Looking from the reviews this 3d printer has a nice architecture that does allow for some tinkering.
@@burmy1552 read in some reviews it took 10+ min to get to 110c. Not the most important thing on my list. The thing that attracts me to the v400 is that it seems sturdy and easy enough to make changes to, especially for cutting & engraving. How easy/hard is it to remove and switch effectors?
What is the print time for the 3D-Benchy? Just to get a rough speed comparison with the Bambu Lab X1 Carbon. I really like Delta printers, since they are mesmorizing, but I guess the advantages and usability are more on the side of the Bambu printer
Yeah the time zone thing baffled me today! I looked through the settings ten times thinking I missed it but no. The stringiness is too much, this is my first 3d printer so idk about the other. But God damn the speed is addictive, it was so fast I was worried it's too fast!
I have been using the V400 for about a week. So far it has worked nicely. But I have one question that I posed to FLSUN without getting a good answer. What about changing the nozzle? They currently don't have options for nozzles. Also if the standard nozzle is brass using carbon infused filament will damage it quickly. Do you have any information about nozzles/changing nozzles? Or would one have to replace the entire hot end?
Afaik it is a volcano nozzle. But i have the same question. Which kind of volcano nozzle to upgrade - if you want to print PA-CF or PC-CF while still beeing able to print the normal ones? Hardened steel?

I had the same idea for spring compressed delta ball-joints many years ago but I stalled on the project. Mine is a bit better due to ultra light components resulting in less inertial mass. I have to get back at it! I just need to find those horizontal cupped ends they use for the joints or find a way to easily fabricate some from existing components. That was what stalled the project in the first place, 3d printed components just wouldn't hold up for long. If this is something you want to pick up let me know and I'll share the details.
Great review - logical and straight forward. Are you looking at reviewing the new FLSUN S1 soon?
Another great review. Thank you.
Should calibrate pressure advance. Deadpool timelapse shows significant overextrusion of infill on firet layers.
You are awesome! Thanks for the great observations and content.
Another great detailed video. Good job!
I'm always impressed by your videos detail and careful testing. I hope Anker Make send you the M5 when it is available, have you contacted them?
I think saying this printer is 400mm/s is a bit cheeky when it's only travel moves. But if it can do 350mm/s for infill I think it could also do that speed on inner walls.
Ordered mine yesterday.
My first task will be designing something to Mount on top for my filament dryer. Either that or maybe a shelf with pulleys and bearings.
Hi, could you please tell, how is your experience with flsun v400, how is the printing quality? I want to buy a good large 3d printer for helmets and large objects 👐
@@SPACE_TRAVELLER_01 still waiting for delivery. I’ll come back and let you know once it gets here and I play with it a little.
I haven't used Klipper yet, but it sounds like a pretty drastic improvement in terms of performance and usability over Marlin combined with OctoPrint. The V400 seems like the real deal, but would be hard to enclose if you want to print technical filaments like polycarbonate.
Another great review of this very large 3D printer.
Excellent young lady. Very much appreciate your knowledge about this Printer. ....I just bought one. Thanks.
do you like it so far? do you have other printer to like comparation i mean?
excellent review!
I love the Delta type robots. I thought about building one out of Lego. The hard part would be figuring out the algorithm for programming it. I could build it and control it manually to start off with.
I'm surprised they can be so precise. There must be zero play at the ends of the 3 arms that connect the slides on the screws and the end effector. Just a small move of the screw can move the head quickly. I just bought the Ender-3 S1 Plus and an Elegoo Saturn 2. I haven't printed anything on it yet because I am waiting to get the resin tomorrow. Now I want a Delta printer. LOL.
Can you share a link for your Cura (ABS/ PETG/ PLA / TPU) settings? A lot of people who review provide a brief description of settings, but a direct import would be a lot easier. Good Review of this printer!
Thank you for your presentation it is the best I have seen
im waitng for mine cant wait! good video! you are very smart....
It is a wonderful printer, but it is not quiet. The faster the arms move, the louder it gets. I can easily hear it in the room down the hall. I've also had a few major failures. After slowing the print speed down into the 250mm/s range, the print worked fine. My printer is larger so it has time and space to really speed up. Don't get me wrong, it is still a great printer, but like any 3d printer, there is lots to learn about temp, flow rates, filaments, speeds, and various other adjustments. After two weeks with the printer, I'm having a great time.
It looks sooooo giant next to you! That thing is gigantic!
i didnt even know they had this one, i was just talking about picking up the sr but i gotta look into this one now. i liked the mgn12 rails on the sr how is the motion system on this one, hard to see in the video if it had the linear rails or rods. welp after seeing the price i want be getting one of these. a bit over the price im willing to spend on one plus i have to many as it is but still looks like a really nice machine. maybe i'll end up with one at some point just not anytime soon.
Wonderful well made video with a very knowledgeable young woman. Thank you. Aside from that, I was hoping this printer would print with a smoother finish but apparently it does not.
Retraction issue might be Bc of the clone cht hotend?
Please test the speed pad on other printers, which is an interesting feature of this printer.
GREAT video
Could you review the new Creality Sonic Pad Klipper + touchscreen upgrade for the Ender 3 S1?
Yes, I will post the Sonic Pad video on Oct 23
I agree with the previous comment, she is by far the best reviewer of 3D printers and 3 d printing products. Thank you for the great reviews.
I assume this is all with a .4 nozzle. I can’t only imagine what it’ll do on a .6 or larger. Also, have you tried lowering temps to help with stringing? I also use the slicer setting that makes the head not cross perimeters.
This machine is giant and a monster 👾. Thanks again for the great information and effort you put into this 👍 ✌️ 💪 😎 🇺🇸 What is your favorite brand of filament?
Great video, I subscribed. Now just have to decide on buying this printer or another resin printer.
Have you tried connecting an accelerometer for klipper their input shaping? FLSun seems to have shipped these with a pretty good setting, but each printer likely has some variation after assembly. Maybe the quality will be higher.
I love your channel. Between the Bambu X-1 Carbon and the V400, which is your favorite?
If you want to print something taller, you need this FLSUN V400, the print volume 300(diameter)x410mm, while the X1 Carbon is a 256x256x256mm. But if you need multiple colors or want to use breakaway support filament, you need the BambuLab AMS. For printing single color regular sized model, I think the X1 still prints a little bit faster, with the Bambu Slicer, it also prints better.
The Creality Sonic Pads with Klipper just went on sale, so I bought one to use on my S1 Plus. They expect to ship by the end of October. For a limited time, they are taking $10 off the list price. I hope Creality will send you one to review Aurora.
Yes, I will post the Sonic Pad video on Oct-23.
@@AuroraTech Thanks Aurora. I'm looking forward to watching it and getting your opinion on it.
@@AuroraTech I just got an email saying my Sonic Pad has shipped. Since it is coming from China though, it might take a few weeks before I get it.
Hi thanks of the review. Can you share your cura profiles for V400?
Thank you for your review. I should mention for other viewers that I pre-ordered this in mid July and it has not been shipped yet, nor can I reach out to flsun because their support email address is invalid. They are still taking pre-orders so know that flsun is having trouble fulfilling existing orders.
good to know, I think I'll just wait for it to be available on Amazon
Dam so u can't reach out to anybody? They have a thousand dollars of mine lol I'm sure you too!? When was yours supposed to be shipped? That's not good news. Mine said they would ship October 10th for November oreeders but your still waiting hmmmm
Yeah...no. I'll wait until stock appears in North America.
Great review! Very detailed.
Hi Aurora !, Have you figured out what is the best setting to reduce stringing for V400 ?...the stringing issue is driving me crazy. Love this review lo, very informative !!
do you like it so far? do you have other printer to like comparation i mean?
Great content ! That’s the Flipper zero case your printing.
I'm getting real bad shifts in the 3d print when I'm printing on the SR. I changed the belts and I worked perfect for a week. Then all of a sudden the layer shifts are ruining ever print? What are the common causes of this?
If you could only have one, would you purchase the FLSUN V400 or the Bamboo Lab X1?
Love your channel.
Trying to decide between the CR-10 Smart Pro and the V400 for a printer (yes, my first. Go big or go home, as they say). Which would you suggest?
Update: Ended up getting an Ender-3 S1 Pro. So far it's going well.
Can you make a Video how to change the thermistor on the flsun V400?
Klipper runs firmware retraction rather than gcode retraction. Does cura have the "use firmware retractions" check box? (I use superslicer so I'm not familiar with cura) Maybe that will help the stringing, I know with my ender 6 I chased stringing for days until I realised I hadn't enabled firmware retraction in the slicer.
Also, can you still use mainsail to control klipper? Or is it all done on the touchscreen?
@aurora I am all for going fast but do you think the Qidi Plus X or this one would be best for accurate prints with all filaments. Thank you, I love your reviews.
If you want fast, Qidi is printing at normal speed around 50-60 mm/s as it runs Marlin. In terms of accuracy, most printers are similar, this V400 is in line with other printers even printing at high speed. Thanks
@@AuroraTech Thank you so much. I respect your opinion and feel the need for speed. Stay safe.
Great video - have you tried doing a color swap ?
These machines are very impressive… if it was just a lil bigger build plate like a 12” circle isn’t bad at all but when you are taking up so much room already vertically you might as well make it a little larger in diameter where you could at least fit a 300mm /12” square on the build plate … it’s tuff to have such a large printer and have a small bed slinger or box printer have a way larger build volume. And take up way less space …
But I would like to have a delta printer just to watch it print nothing much more satisfying than watching a delta
Excellent video and explanation, everything is super clear, I also just bought my V400, I would like to know if it can also be used with any prusaslicer profile
Seriously considering buying this printer but my only issue is that people seem to have a hard time getting consistent and quality prints from ABS and cf nylon filaments…I put a deposit down for the X1 Carbon but I’d really like to save the $650 if the v400 is consistent with harder materials…if anyone has any experience…please reply here!
I assume it is easy enough to create a holder that mounts on the frame. Even stick magnet on the speeder and the holder and mount is SR style. USB and powercable could be routed better. I am considering to buy this printer and make a few changes to it, and would appreciate comments on that. Adding usbhub for cam in top part. I wanted to replace the hotbed heater to a 220V higher power type for faster heating. Change the connection of the printhead to a single connector for easy toolchanges. Make additional tools such as a laser, plotter and cutter. Also on my wish list is an enraged rabbit carrot feeder. Looking from the reviews this 3d printer has a nice architecture that does allow for some tinkering.
My v400 bed heats to 60c in 2.5 minutes. I'm running in the US, 115v.
@@burmy1552 read in some reviews it took 10+ min to get to 110c. Not the most important thing on my list.
The thing that attracts me to the v400 is that it seems sturdy and easy enough to make changes to, especially for cutting & engraving. How easy/hard is it to remove and switch effectors?
What is the print time for the 3D-Benchy?
Just to get a rough speed comparison with the Bambu Lab X1 Carbon.
I really like Delta printers, since they are mesmorizing, but I guess the advantages and usability are more on the side of the Bambu printer
Yeah the time zone thing baffled me today!
I looked through the settings ten times thinking I missed it but no.
The stringiness is too much, this is my first 3d printer so idk about the other.
But God damn the speed is addictive, it was so fast I was worried it's too fast!
do you like it so far? do you have other printer to like comparation i mean?
I have been using the V400 for about a week. So far it has worked nicely. But I have one question that I posed to FLSUN without getting a good answer. What about changing the nozzle? They currently don't have options for nozzles. Also if the standard nozzle is brass using carbon infused filament will damage it quickly. Do you have any information about nozzles/changing nozzles? Or would one have to replace the entire hot end?
Afaik it is a volcano nozzle. But i have the same question. Which kind of volcano nozzle to upgrade - if you want to print PA-CF or PC-CF while still beeing able to print the normal ones? Hardened steel?
You didn't seem to try to use the input shaper in klipper, does this have that feature disabled?
For someone who is starting do your recommend this printer? I just want to plug and play, and limit issues. Thoughts?
13:21....when i'm looking at the bottom @ 13:11 there is also warping :D
This does not make it a bad Printer, but.....you know ;)
what is required to allow the webcam to be functional and to record the prints for timelapse?
Based on your reactions seems like the FLSUN has you impressed. But curious why it’s not on one of your recommendation list of 3d printers.
