Especially towards the people that aren't tech savy or are scared to even try getting into 3D printing. I do believe this would be a great entry to someone that doesn't know what they are doing.

    Looks like it’s a perfect tool for small jobs. The fact that’s it’s near idiot proof is nice. Lots of 3d printers require a computer, which I find a hindrance as I don’t have a lot of space, so using an app is awesome. And the price point is not bad. Being on a fixed income, do to disability, I have to watch how much stuff is. I haven’t seen many 3D printers at or under $200. Thank you for the review.

    I can definitely see the appeal of this type of printer for those new to 3D printing. I've had an Ender 3 for 2 years and have yet to print anything because I haven't been able to get the bed to level correctly. When I do find the time to work on it, the filament is brittle, so I have order new filament, and rinse cycle and repeat.

      You should look into 3D printing and see if it's a hobby for you (yes, it is a hobby unto itself that helps our other hobbies). For model railroading and miniatures you want a resin printer and that will require a dedicated and well ventilated space that is free from natural light. 3D printing also requires good technical skills, it is not just plug-and-play.

      @johnm8425 10 месяцев назад

      @@Phoenixknight79 If you are doing anything larger than N scale, you want to do buildings in sub-assembles. You don't want to do large buildings as one piece as the large flat surface areas can be difficult to print and if you fail a large print, you waste a lot of resin and time. To use some examples you may be familiar with as an model railroader: I am partial to the Elegoo brand as I started with a Mars 2 Pro, which is a good introductory printer and can easily print something like an HO scale boxcar or wall sections for smaller O scale buildings. I have since moved up to a Saturn 2, which could print something around the size of an O scale boxcar or a moderate HO scale building like a house or small factory.

    I suppose for anyone with very limited space and only plans to print small objects, that can be a good printer. However, anything a small printer can make, a larger printer can also make plus the ability to produce larger items. Personally, I think going smaller is counterproductive. Just my opinion.

  • @mmerc9838
    @mmerc9838 10 месяцев назад +9

    I don't understand the point of this printer. Its expensive, requires filament only from the manufacturer, and is slow. What's the point? This video sounds like a positive review cause they paid me (ie free printer). I don't know if thats the case, but it does seem like that.

    • @StevesTrains
      @StevesTrains 10 месяцев назад +9

      I looked at this printer too, and you can open the cartridge up by removing some screws and replace the small PLA filament roll in there (worst case wrap it yourself). Yes, that isn't ideal, but it is doable, and it cartridge helps control moisture. The slowish speed isn't really much of an issue because you are only printing small things on this printer. Most of the detail parts I've been printing (and printing several copies at one time) still print in under an hour. Yes, it is a niche printer, but I like it for sitting above my desk where I can just print stuff throughout the day. It is kind of like my astronomy hobby where ease of use means you use it a lot more. I use this one much more than my Ender 3 printer just because it is more convenient. But, this is more of a supplemental printer and if you can only buy one, then you should of course get a bigger printer that is more flexible.

      I totally understand where you’re coming from. I do like this little printer. It reminds me of my first printer (Flashforge finder). This printer is simple to use and not intimidating. There are a lot of people who are put off by the complexities and variables of 3D printing. This is who the printer is for in my opinion. My review is model railroad centric, but it’s also a great 3D printer for kids.

      @@StevesTrains that bit about being able to reload a cartridge is a very important detail which does make the printer look better.

    Seems like a total waste of money. There are far too many cheaper 'real' 3D filament printers on the market. With all of the limitations of this printer I see it as an exercise in frustration. I purchased a Creality printer over 18 months ago, followed the setup instructions (numerous YT vid's available to assist), and continue to produce excellent results. Within a few months of use I discovered how much I would like an even larger print bed to print larger items. Jimmy I'm disapointed that you even gave this device a test run let alone posted a video somewhat endorsing it.
