I can't believe I found such an amazingly high quality review on such a niche product... Thank you!
Thanks man, it's what I try to do! Appreciate the feedback
No problem, btw this video is the reason I just ordered the I3 plus (My first printer). So thanks again!
@@LameCorvette how do you like it?
Adrian Knelsen it was a great printer and I loved it, but it’s a little old and outdated now. If you’re just starting I’d recommend a creality printer, they’re more up to date and have strong community support behind them. I have an ender 5 that’s been modded to death and I love it!
great, thorough review as always! I'm definitely keeping my eye on wanhao
Your a great reviewer. No bs. Appreciate the straight to the points attitude, and non overly explosively happy acting. Hope to see a lot more cool videos from you. Youve got a good head, and voice on your shoulders. Please dont be a click bait tuber.
Extraordinary review. Honest and really down-to-earth. Thank you for publishing this!
I had the Monoprice select V2 for about a month before the power supply blew. Replaced that with the Plus and I think this review is spot on. Although I don't see any quality difference in my prints, the Plus seems to be much quieter and slightly faster than the v2. The touch screen and full sized SD card are much make the machine more user friendly.
Some people supposedly had heat issues with a part of the board controlling heatbed temps overheating and smoking on this printer, and so they say to use an external mosfet to fix the problem and as a precaution for others as well. Have you heard anything about this, especially with a lot of cocoon create touches being bought recently?
Hi Angus FYI the Wanhao Duplicator i3 Plus is only $349.99 (US) from Microcenter. It is in store only so it will not show up on microcenter,com unless you select a store location. Hope to get mine in a week or so and try my hand at 3d printing. You may want to mention this in an upcoming video for anybody in the U.S. that has a Microcenter store nearby. It is $50 cheaper then the Monoprice version. I have learned so much in the past few months. Great channel and keep up the good work.
the spool holder is on backwards :p
Lol
Jttv it is. I was about to say that too
Boom tendo I know I triggers me so bad
It’s a fucking spool holder. How can it be the wrong way.
Just bought myself the Balco rebrand of this printer. Will be following your channel to learn about using it! keep up the awesome uploads.
I thank you for giving me some peace of mind. I've been debating with myself over what printer to choose, and it seems this will have a significant bearing on that.
ha ha your spool holder looks like its back to front, swap the horizontal holder the other way. love the video's keep them coming.
just arrived today at my home... funny to see a new video on your channel just today about the i3 plus. :)
These days I looking for more news/issues on the plus version, and more than one has got problem on extruder after few days (the extruder nema doesn't move), someone attach the motor to X axes to see if broken... nema ok... so maybe something on hardware.
Angus... keep using it these days... to say to us more if need it! :)
This one works very well. I'm quite pleased with it. I bought 2 of them. They're working right now.
I have 3 of these. The rattle when moving on one of mine was due to the base plate underneath vibrating on the base. A small piece of failed PLA or cardboard or whatever between this worked.
They are also known as a BALCO printer, another brand of Cocoon.
As with the spool holder, I created a larger one for all spools and have done this to all of mine and all work great with this mod!
www.instructables.com/id/Larger-Holder-for-3D-Printer-Wanhao-I3-and-Clones/
Rebranded one of this called maker select plus is running around 350 I believe
Great video Angus, got a wanhao i3 off hobbyking after you recommened it, great printer! Thanks Again!
Hey Angus great video. One thing though you should turn off auto focus on your camera when you do the talking head shots. So the camera does not keep going in and out of focus.
I've been using this machine for a while now, prints come out great, nothing's gone wrong (so far) but i would recommend getting a different spool holder, whether you make it yourself via printing or buying one.
I've found it to be too narrow for most of my spools.
Pulled the trigger on one of these, cost effective to the max.
Thanks to your review I went ahead and bought one, this should be fun :).
Thank you, I am now subscribed and got notifications turned on.
I know this is several months in the future, but I have the monoprice maker select v2 and it's never had that issue with bearing noises. I have added lithium grease to the linear bearings to make sure they're well lubricated, but all I can hear is the motors and the fans when it's printing.
I was just going to order the Prusa i3 when I saw the video... And I ordered this instead. I am not rich so I am looking for the best bang-for-my-buck. Great video, subscribed :)
Your spool holder is put together backwards. The arm the spool sits on should be on the other side (away from the bolts and support on the bracket).
Impressive overview and history lesson! Very nice work Angus :)
If anybody cares, I bought the Monoprice version of this machine, and while it's been an incredible machine, I have a few criticisms myself:
I bought the Monoprice Maker Select Plus, and fresh out of the box the extruder was massively out of calibration. I had major underextrusion problems. It was only extruding like 80mm of filament when it thought it was extruding 100mm. It took me way longer to diagnose this than it should have, but it's my first printer and I knew nothing so.. ignorance is bliss? I don't know.
The fans were quiet... for about the first couple of months. The left cooling fan unfortunately suffered catastrophic bearing failure on my machine very shortly after I got it. It rattled and screamed so loudly that turning the machine on was something I dreaded. It was still serviceable, so I just coped... until I accidentally hit it with an allen wrench and snapped a fin off of it.. whoops... I have since replaced it with a Noctua fan (I had to include a 24-12v step-down converter to make this work) and sometimes I forget that it's on.
The stepper motors for the X and Y axis are a little louder than this video led me to believe they would be. It's perfectly tolerable, though. I could sleep in the same room as it if I had to.
After I got the extruder calibrated and the faulty fan replaced (which honestly would be very trivial tasks to anybody who knew how these things worked), this machine has been incredibly reliable and I haven't had any further issues with underextrusion or excessive noise.
yes!!! just bought one for 275$ US... (open box at local microcenter)… can't wait to put this bad boy to work!!
I love that Trilobite!
Also available through Monoprice in the USA as the "Maker Select Plus 3D Printer" for $399.
Interesting video, but im a little suprised you have the spool holder backwards.
I replaced the Y axis Rods and Bearings. Runs well now. the Rods measure (On mine) 7.95-7.96 and was bend. so got some 8H6 hardened rods.
I have the duplicator i3 v2 with print bite but I can't get my prints to stick (pla) would this be down to the pla I'm using or the print settings? Cheers
I thought about buying this for my first 3d printer. I really like the price tag on it.
Hi I have a i3 Plus that was purchased from Adi about 2 years ago. have not used it for a while, but on power up it is stuck on Advanced and I cannot change the selection. Have tried replacing the internal battery and reseating all cable but touch screen is still unresponsive. Any assistance would be appreciated.
Thanks.
I have been trying to get the filament to come out of the extruder. Seems not to be working. At first, it worked for the first 3% of the test, them stopped coming out. Any recommendations?
which external spool holder do you recommend? how do you connect the bowden tube? thank you!
keepin it real out on the streets in the back alley, talking i3 plus, love it. carstend(thingiverse) E3d v6 all metal bowden set up and z axis stabilizers improved my print quality tremendously. Also best first upgrade is to get rid of the y carriage plate Flimsy AF and will bend just a matter of time.
I just bought the Duplicator 9 300 for 220 on Amazon not knowing it's a good expensive printer. I look back online a few minutes ago and see its 660 dollars now. Someone must have messed up the the price. I'm happy someone over at wanhao isn't. Lol. Akd I got a biqu duet clone the whole kit with the screen , on the way with FedEx from alliexpress. So next weekend I'm expecting to do a lot of printing.
When you do a review can you talk about the electronics more. Its good to know if you can add more extruders/ thermocouple/ is it Arduino or sm32 based? Stepper drivers used?
What does the extra money from say a tronxy x1 that you recomend or a prusa mk3 clone like anet a8 get you?
Thank you for your videos! Will you review the Anycubic i3 Mega?
In Belgium Aldi sold these as Balco 3D Touch printers
Hi Angus, I have the v2 i3 and will move the spool holder from the top no I have seen this. One thing I find is I need to align the bed all the time, do you or do you have a fix? I was thinking of using thread lock but was not sure with the heated bed it will cause issues. Thanks again
What filaments does this printer support??? Anything you throw at it?
If my current printer breakes. Ill buy the i3 2.1 and upgrade it. It seems like a better option if you're willing to put a little bit of work into it.
What's that white tube containing white liquid on Cacoon create @1:41? Glue container?
Going to pick one of these up in the next couple of days :D
How come you didn't seem to have done any improvements to the Wanhao i3? This version and/or the V1 and 2. I am talking about z brace mod, chain link extender, belt rigidity mods that eliminate ringing etc
Can I ask where you got the Flutterbat model I've seen in the background of a few of your videos (and seen printing here)? I'd like to print one of those for myself.
Angus, thanks for the great information you provide on your channel. I think this is going to be my first printer I'll probably get the monoprice version. I see a lot of people adding a Z axis brace to it as well as something on the fan. I see your machine in your videos, in the background and it doesn't look like you have any mods on it. You also said in one of your videos that you use it a lot to test things, I believe it was software. Do you think it's a good first printer and what mods if any do you suggest. Keep up the great work. 👍🏻
I've been looking into getting my first printer and with the latest version of this series of printers I think I have settled on it. Do you know if the company is shipping them currently and what do you think are some out of the box upgrades the unit needs?
I just came across your channel and I have learned a lot from you. Thanks.
Hi, I am new to your channel, I have enjoyed your vids a lot. I don't have a 3D printer yet and was wondering if you have reviewed the Anycubic 3D printer I3 Mega or see it at all?
this is on special for £241 on amazon at the moment...might get one
You mention having made a Monoprice Select v2 review and that there'd be a link to it in the video description. Can't seem to find it. Would really like to hear what you have to say about the v2!
Its a nice upgrade for sure :). the 2.1 does have one advantage :) you can build a heated chamber for it without cooking the electronics :P but other than that this is a massive upgrade.
All they need to do now is ship it with an E3Dv6 :P
I'm sure someone already pointed this out but in the USA, Microcenter sells the wanhao i3 v2.1 rebranded as a Powerspec for $299.99 USD - I grabbed one to eval after seeing one of your prior videos on your cocoon i3 - biggest issue I have with it is feeling silly for releveling my bed after forcing a print off just like you said, silly (I'll upgrade the alum build platform and to a removable bed) otherwise there's no obvious difference to all the other i3 rebrands and I've had good results with pla, abs and even some carbon fiber - pla filament, it's become a daily work horse here too.
The Monoprice branded version of this is $400 now 👍 Got it open-box for $300.
I like the i3 becuase its so modular and the steel frame is a perfect for new users
hi! i am looking for IFF file for i3 Plus so i can use it reliably with Simplify3D. for some reason prints are smaller than normal when sliced with Simplify3D
Top notch review and clarification of the differences. I am now down to a choice between two printers. It is either the Maker Select Plus 3D or the Anycubic I3 Mega. Both are $400 USD. Sure wish you had a review of the Anycubic. Both seem to have the sturdy frame and enhanced touch screen. The only difference I can see is extruder type. It did seem odd that you were concerned about putting a large mass into the spool holder on top. That frame does not need to move, so a mass shouldn't be an issue. Or am I missing something?
Many of the changes were implemented on the V2.1. (the thumb screws,new bearings). But the PLUS does have a larger fan than the 2.1 by (I think) 10mm. This does improve the print quality a bit by adding extra cooling. Do you know if the new fan duct I'd aimed properly at the nozzle? The V2.1 is aimed to the right of the nozzle. There are easy mods to redirect the air towards the nozzle, but I was wondering if Wanhao updated this.
Hey bro do you still have and use this printer? Because I do but I'm having firmware issues so I haven't used it in a while. It'll start to print then start clicking and stop midway. However I have full range of motion because I can extend to the end of every axis and then hit home. What would you suggest I do or how should I go about resolving this issue? How can I get a current or at best the original copy of the firmware?
anyone know where I can find a program for costing 3d printed products?
Do I place my filament when it done heating or leave it in their because It keeps wasting filament just to warm up and ruins the 3d print?
would you chose this or an ender 3 ?
I heard from the grapevine there is a larger Plus printer in the near future! What can you tell us?
Great videos btw, thanks for your time and efforts
Is the Cubicon Single about the best printer for the money you know of????
Have you ever used the gCreate Max 1.5 XL I would like large build area but want quality too and dependable.
you should review the Aurora A3.
Thank you for the review. This printer is on my short list to buy. In your video you mentioned you use this printer a lot. If I am not mistaken you also own a original prusa i3. Don't you use that machine on a daily basis? According to reviews that machine has almost no flaws.
Great video. Am having a hard time deciding which to get - Wanhao I3 Plus or a used Replicator 2x.... Both are nearly the same price. Replicator is dual extruder, just needs an X-Axis bearing replaced. Thoughts anyone?
I just bought this one. Only regret is that I wished it had more then one extruder. All the build up suspense in this video, what ya going to do when you review their other printers? :p Will it have a better abs print quality if I make my own enclosure?
Spool holder is in backwards there Angus, the bar is meant to hang out to the middle not to the edge, otherwise great review.
Yep put it on wrong for the video, I left a comment in post.
Any recommendation on where to get a Wanhao Duplicator i3 Plus in Europe ?
Would love a craftbot but they are kinda pricey for how much I will be using it. .
Gday, i just went to Kogan and found a Balco 3d printer rather similar. have you seen it? thoughts? its $499
Hey! i am new to 3d printning. after looking through diffefent printers my choice has come down to either monoprice select mini or this one from wanhao. which would you recommend
What is the best slicer you could recommend when using this model? I've tried Cura 3.6 and 4.0, but Prusa Slic3r came out better. And yet I think it can be improved by far, some prints are still sloppy and don't always work :/
Thanks!
I recently purchased a Wanhao Duplicator i3 Plus and everything works until I press "print" and nothing happens. It just stays at the home screen. I've contacted Wanhao and the website I bought it from, but they haven't replied yet. Please help.
Colin White Will not print till the bed is preheated.
Thank you, grate help. BTW what is the music that played in the very end?
Im on my way to buy a wanhao in this month.. you think the plus really is better? my thoughts: if you do a inclosing to get better abs-prints the 2.1 would be better with the sensitive electronics outside inclosing box.. if a cable get hurt or damage in the 2.1 you can buy it easy in every store, in the plus you need to buy a special cable.. plus version cost as you say 100dollar more and have upgrades who dont make anything better? bigger built plate, auto level, better extruder or that kind of things I would understand, but 100dollars and those upgrades, whats the point? you knows the different between v2 and v2.1? you also talk about the sd-card, its not possible to use usb-stick?
Flutterbat FTW!
Would you stille recommend this printer? Or should I buy another one or wait for a new wanhao.
What's that white tube thing on the right side of your other Wanhao i3?
It's an led light :)
Hi, is the omega i3 in any way related to this, or just a larger clone?
What kind of material did you use for that moving bone like obj on 9:15 part ?
It's a new PLA blend called Polyalchemy Elixir - It's REALLY nice to print with and has an awesome shine, review coming soon.
+Maker's Muse Nice .Thanks .
I haven't experience in 3D printer. What will the best training wheel?
Hello . So, from your point of view this his the best printer for $ 500 budget ?
I bought one of these for my son at Christmas. He's had some ok prints off it but only around 35% of models printed have been desirable. He has asked if you could help with a screen shot or explanation of the settings you use when printing with PLA and ABS. The levelling too has proved very difficult and unreliable. You set up 2 or 3 of the 4 corners only to find that as you're going around the bed, the corners you've just set are now way out. Do you have any rips on this please and how crucial is this? Many thanks.
Gareth
I'm looking to get one of these in the next few days. Is it ever likely to give me high quality, reliable prints? I'm not too afraid of tinkering and getting to grips with machine performance - but I don't want to invest my time and money in something that is never going to effectively achieve the end result. In that case, I'd just prepare for a bit more tinkering and get a cheap Chinese i3 rip off for over half the price. What are your thoughts?
How well does it work with ABS?
Monoprice 3D Select Plus or this one?
They're the same printer lol.
R U sure? like if i want to buy it i should just go with the cheaper option because their both are the same?
yes
been following you for a while now Angus. I bought the I3plus maybe a year ago based on your recommendation. I notice the Wanhao have again upped the ante with a version2 sporting so useful features and upgrades. Can you say if the original plus model can be upgraded to the V2 spec? I'm pretty comfortable with the electronics, mechanical and flashing, I just never really delved that deep into 3D printing to keep on the "cutting edge" cheers Rob
Why not design and print your own custom handle/handles for it!
that printer is pretty heavy so i dont know how much a printed handle would cope
Have you ever reviewed the Josef Prusa original I3. The new orange unit.
Yes, he did ;-)
Awesome video as always. looks like this will be my first 3D printer instead of the version 2.1. :D
Is there a difference in printing quality between the Wanhao i3 v2.1 and the Wanhao i3 Plus?
is the outro music by Rameses B?
Looking into this printer.
Picked up this machine from Aldi the other day and must say it great, actually for a $500 machine it is better in some respects to my $3600 machine that I got a year and a half ago.
My answer to SD/MicroSD and USB to my PC is to use a Raspberry Pi + OctoPrint
I never used a sd card to print instead I use always octoprint on a raspberry pi 2.
Is there a good, searchable forum for this and the MP Select Plus printer?
Caught the flutterbat there
