They seem to be upgrading on this one, as they get feedback.. I just bought one for 330$ with upgraded Metal extruder and also added "New Dual Blower Kit" to the cart on their website. Since i can see most reviewers agree that the cooling is lacking. This will be my first 3D printer, seems like you get pretty decent build volume for the money, other competitors seem to charge at least 100$ more for the same volume, and still dont give you a touch screen.
Just purchased mine and it comes with duel fans so I think they are fixing the problems people talk about just gotta find a sturdy table for it and have been thinking about getting a full enclosure for it
I'd love to see a Elegoo neptune 2S review. I'd heard a lot about it recently and I haven't seen too many videos about it. All the videos I've seen are for the neptune 2, the previous model. The 2S seems similar to the Ender 3 v2, but a heck of a lot cheaper.
Ordered mine yesterday but i also bought upgraded dual fan cooling fan because i noticed all reviews had same problems with cooling. its going to be my first 3d printer hehe.
How long did it take you to print the helmet? I am working on a print in a smaller size and it is giving me 30 hours. I have already set up a number of customer settings but maybe I am missing something. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Cheers...
Be advised that if you have purchase and receive a defective unit Longer has no customer support. I called and emailed after purchasing one of their units do to it having issues and not feeding any filament and PLA, TPU, PTGE and they will not respond. Furthermore they blocked my number from calling them as now it goes directly to voicemail but when I restrict my caller ID the phone rings before being directed to voicemail. I would avoid this company all together and picking an alternative option..
Bought the Longer LK5 Pro 3d printer and it didn't work right out of the box. The Z axis would only go up but not down, wouldn't home and was doing strange things. So, I contacted Longer support to find out that my printer had a bad motherboard. Then they told me they would ship me a new motherboard and to fix it myself. I guess they got the name LONGER for it want work long but takes longer to get it fixed. I wouldn't trust anything with the brand name Longer on it. I have three other 3d printers from three different manufactures and have had no issues. Again, I wouldn't trust anything with the brand name Longer on it.
The resume print feature is useless since the bed is glass and cools quickly. By the time power is back the part would detach and the print would fail.
I keep getting the error 'Recovery Printing - Job is not done. Do you want to recover this printing?'. Happened 5 times in a 14 hour print. 210 Nozzle Temp. 70 Bed Temp. Using Cura. Any idea why this may be happening?
Tks for the review. How will a Newby like myself know of the upgrades ie short coming to do something about them. Seems like a pig 🐖 in the bag buy. Please advise of a functional buy as I would like to print large items.
Hey, know its a lte comment but does this printer printed fast? I like to print large stuff and dont wanna be waiting 36 hours just for a helmet@@davidwhetstone8066
Have you actually tried killing power or running out of filament and resuming the print? How noisy are the fans? I think we would like an in-depth review.
I got one to get into 3d printing. My sttings i must not fully understad. I can print boats all day test prints but as soon as i print a file of my own look out it turns into a wereking ball. I don't get it. Any advice?
@@bryanst.martin7134 i will try i know now cura suports the lk5 pro. I think its just figureing out the best orientation and printer setings. Thank you so much!!!
Nope its junk. 3 weeks in and its just a total POS. Crashes into prints after filament changes power failure resume doesn't work itll just stop printing at times. Runout detector is junk and failed within 2 weekw. Extruder was loose and belt was off when arrived. Bed wont stay level. Overall very upset with all these biased reviews on RUclips. i understand you guys were given free machines but come on be honest.
Thanks for the info, trying to find a really large printer like this, ill take notice of your comment so hopefully i can find another open thats similar price and can print large

how is it? is the dual blower worth it?
I just bought one that came with the Dual blower.
@Richies Restorations soon you'll be able to print metal

how has it been? does the dual fans help out?
@@camdennagg6419 i didn't see big problems in the first place, but maybe because i had small prints. but yeh it seems to do the job.
hey how’d it go? is it a good buy? i JUST ordered it
Mine will be arriving tommorrow
What about that?
U r right. I think that makes sense.
Thanks for the info!!!
You bet!
I own the lk5 I love it. Where would I get the stl file for the upgraded fan shroud?
Mine came with the printer. Shoot my an email (info@makeorbreakshop) and I can send it to you.
Thingiverse. :)

I see you printed that Mando helmet, what was your time for print on the model
The resume print feature is useless since the bed is glass and cools quickly. By the time power is back the part would detach and the print would fail.
Absolutely a correct statement. Ask me how I know. :-\
@@kevinb21 even cooler is when the print hitches a ride on the nozzle 😂
What other print surfaces cool slower than 3lb of glass???
Nice! Now what do I do with my Ender3?!?
Cool helmet. Where can we get that model? Thank you.
OK. I watched the rest of the video and saw where you got the model from. Sorry to bother everyone. Thank you.
Where do you get replacement nozzles for it? I got mk8’s with .4 mm but it’s really thin
Hi I have a Longer LK5 Pro I cannot do the set up as there is no movement on the Y axis . Have you any thoughts to help me .
Question I can’t find the longer Lk 5 pro in cura or the any of the longer printers
Did you ever solve this? I’m thinking of buying this printer
@@kroberts4683 yeah needed the updated version of cura. Also do not mess with the printer if you get it I found that out the hard way
You have to get version 4.8 or later of Cura. Update your Cura program. And download the longer resource files. You can find them on longer website
How long does it take to print a helmet
Do u have options for aluminum engravers?
Craig review. Thank you
You bet

You can buy a anycubic Chiron and it s bigger and cheaper
When printing bigger objects like you can on this, does it take…… LONGER to print?
They should have called it the forever printer. It's takes forever to print a large print.
I am short on time so I just need a yes or no answer, is it worth it? The only thing I will likely use it for is helmets
Worth it. I have 2 and they work great

Have you actually tried killing power or running out of filament and resuming the print? How noisy are the fans? I think we would like an in-depth review.
This printer is extremely quiet. But the fans are a little noisy. You can turn down the fans speed.
I was able to resume a print due to a power outage with a single click the printer continue with no issues whatsoever.
I’ve been looking at the LK4 for a while and I saw someone selling a used one with around 100hours printing time for ~$200usd. Is that a good price? 🤔
Maybe in your country it's great but for Europe this is way overpriced
Seems a little high, you can get this one for about $100 more
IMO 100 hours is nothing, i have 12k+ hours on my printer, and it prints for 100 hours every like 2 weeks
@@tadhgd350 do you have a longer printer?
@@TimothyAllenCampbellGoTimothy nope only expensive printers for me
I got one to get into 3d printing. My sttings i must not fully understad. I can print boats all day test prints but as soon as i print a file of my own look out it turns into a wereking ball. I don't get it. Any advice?
Have you tried another slicer? Make sure the formats between cad, slicer and printer are agreeable.

No I bought my 3D printer to make rapid reloading crossbows 😂
