Thank you so much for creating such a wonderful video about the Zaxe Z3. It was under my radar for a while. Your attention to detail and clear explanations made it easy to understand the features and capabilities of the printer. Your hard work and effort are truly appreciated. Keep up the great content!
I can't stop hearing RandomFrankP when you talk, Chris. It throws me through a loop every time I watch one of your videos! Not a bad thing. Clear and concise, with a fun energy!! Keep up the awesome vids :)
Congratulations! This would be a great machine for those print farms. Knowing that an "industrial" printer uses Klipper, CoreXY kinematics and an inductive probe, really reinforces the design choices for Voron, and Bambu. So I'm guessing we'll be seeing hobby level race to the bottom core xy machines. Always great content! Thanks Chris!
Chris, another excellent review on a printer that most will never have a chance to see or own. For many companies the price would be reasonable for a tool that can produce reliable prints with little training or expertise.
The enclosure looks clean and i think with the imirgance of send cut send and competitors you're going to see some open source sheet metal enclosures like this. Very nice. Even if it is a touch basic
Interesting printer, well thought out by the description except that spool location. I guess if you have it on open back shelving it works, but if its on a desk, you have to partially spin it around to get to the spool for loading and unloading. Glad to hear Klipper is on it by default. Thanks for the overview, while I may not own a $4k printer, I have clients that may so its always good info to get into the "hobby" sphere. Printers "as tools" are real things and while its fun to print toys, end product and end user is an excellent point to think about!
i recently got access to a x3 printer by Zaxe and find the XDesktop slicer to be lacking. Does anyone know where to find settings like acceleration and speeds to setup up PrusaSlicer for example?
they dont have any... sadly its not even any klipper on them as mentioned here. you cant controll speed nor other settings. there is no klipper on z3 or x3.... i dont understand how they can just say it has it without any proof?
@@ChrisRiley but where is the klipper part in this printer that you mention? i do have z3 and x3 but there is no klipper in them. you should do a better research chris because me and others trust your reviews.
@@ChrisRiley i have read all that, ive done multipli klipper mashines include some vorons. and i say it again. There is no klipper integrated in zaxe printers. Im working on installing fully open klipper kontroll on them all. But for what they are now, the printers are not finished, they dont have any speed, any so called klipper funktions. yes i can accept klipper integration by name but by looking at the speed, slicing, printing and display ui. there is no klipper. Its very sad because you could show some klipper funktions but there is none. the eco system of zaxe is not finished jet.
15:55: "you're not going to see a lot of people shell out four thousand dollars to have a printer like this in their basement" -- darn right! It's going in the living room!
Hey, do you think there is a way you could do more videos about Duet? Or reprap firmware on its own. Something like variables in SS for reprap or conditional gcod? I find that reprap is lacking tutorials on RUclips or even on Google thus making it very hard for people like me ( that get machines preconfigured with Duet boards) changing minor stuff without going trough 1xxx forums or Not maintained guides. You used to make a lot of Duet videos and I liked them because they were very informative but as for now they are like 50% outdated
I don't understand all of the praise? Seems like a basic corexy with off the shelf parts and klipper. Doesn't seem to offer anything that the bambu labs carbon printer already offers while costing 4x more. That basic e3d v6 hotend for example isn't really "industrially reliable" and will clog from time to time. Is a clog easy to clear? Can a user easily swap out hotends? Even $60K Stratasys machines offer easily replaceability for hotends and other parts that can wear.
This printer is not fully developed at the moment. This system is sold with Klipper only by the words. You are not able to use things like imput shaper with the g-sensor , you can´t print really fast. The system is well designed in mechanical way, very sturdy. It uses no chinese knock off parts,all genuine parts. But for the money you pay (more than 4300€) this is not enough value. You can use the camera only with the app. It is not possible to use it with your pc. The doumentation is really low. When I purchased this printer there was no information availlable for the OctoPi feature. And most annoying is the ptfe tube at the print head which is not fixed like on every ender 3 budget china printer.
thats what u feel. the there is no klipper in that printer for sure! and still, how come you cant even decide which speed settings you want? i feel that alot if not all about z3 is a lie. Lets not talk about the slicer Xdesktop! Its so slow! bad and terrible! the first ever cura which came many many years ago was even better.
We are genuinely thrilled to be able to bring such an incredible printer together with a community of people who are just as passionate and dedicated as we are. It is a privilege to be a part of this partnership, and we can't wait to see the incredible creations that come out of it. The possibilities are endless and we are excited to be a part of it. 🦾💙
Awesome video! We love the Zaxe team and I'm so glad to see the Z3 getting the air time it deserves. Well done to Baki and his team
Thanks Georgia. Happy New Year
We really miss E3D and can't wait until we can see you all again.💙
Great review Chris! The Z3 is a very impressive machine.
Agreed! Thanks!
🦾💙
What a lovely machine and video …Thanks so much 🙏
Thanks for watching!

Thanks for your input!
Yep, as those Core-XY printers get faster, the build plates will indeed be racing to the bottom!
much respect to you for being willing to spend $1900 to help a cause, glad you received twice the value in return
I was pleasantly surprised! Thank you
Wow. Christmas came early for Chris this year. Must have been a very good boy.
Ha! Always
Im happy to own 2 Z3 and 2 X3. 😁😁 mostly print ABS. Fantastic machines
👍🙂
Holy COW Chris!! Just saw this. Your basement is getting better all the time!
Thanks!

Yes, zaxe is a machine that will be the king of fdm for the rest of the century.
🙂👍
It does seems robust and reliable👍👍

I see what you did with "that's not the focus here"..... nice.
👍🙂
Nice printer! But I love my X1C.
😁👍
There is a recent video by Mirage c which explains the extruder gear caused vfa. Is pretty great.
Thanks!

The settings in the slicer are pretty limited, hopefully they will continue to add features.

Hi Chris! First comment, second thumb us 😁😁
🙂👍

👍🙂
Want or need? I want it. Very impressive. Got a spare $4000 you can lend me?
Lol!!!
Lol so 4k printer is just an Arduino some steppers with a better box 😅

It does have a ways to go, I'm looking forward to see what updates they come up with.
