Just built my S1 pro tonight.. double checking everything.. only to get expensive silly string.. instead of printing a layer square it totally cuts the corner and gives a triangle. Guess I'll have to spend days sorting out this bs
Been a while since someone commented here but the nozzle assembly is able to be disassembled and cleared. Starting at the bottom, the nozzle assembly contains a brass nozzle, then a small heater/thermistor, followed by what looks like a ceramic tube up to just above the air slot. From there to the top of the assembly is a metal tube. Inside this metal tube is a thinner ptfe tube (about 2.00mm ID and 2.6mm OD) that runs all the way down through the ceramic tube to the nozzle. The ptfe tube discolors, burns and clogs with heat creep. It can be replaced (if you have a thinner version, NOT the 4mm OD that is used for the Bowden tube). Other than opening the assembly without breaking it, setting the correct length for this ptfe tube is the only major issue.
The biggest obstacle for beginners is the complete lack of honest, unbiased information to help us decide where to start. Everyone is being paid to push specific hardware, materials, and software. That includes you, and worse, your links trigger tracking warnings.
so im looking to get into 3d printing the toybox looks good but i feel like other printers would be fine for me to use but it just looks nice for little things i want to make can someone tell me the perks of having a biger 3d printer like the creality k1 i just dont know because i dont plan on making huge things can someone help me?
Point on small form factor generally, not just specific to this. Not everyone has a space for a proper workbench or extra deskspace for a big or even midsized printer
We received one - I am finishing my review. Your video surprised me: it’s a very nice video, considering you are looking from far away. The unit we received works, the library looks original - although the models are simple.
Lots of good analysis and insight in your video, but being relatively new to the Bambu Studio slicer I would really appreciate if you would have some video showing how to configure the slicer to do the things you were suggesting.
Got this as a cheap intro to klipper while waiting for my Magneto X. It worked well, though I need to tune it more. As I was about to do that after printing almost all the way through a kilo of PLA pretty successfully with a lightly tweaked Orca profile, the Magneto showed up and I got distracted. I need to get back to the Qidi soon. Nero mentioned a love for small printers, and I get it after playing with this one. For a lot of my random prints, it's got a big enough volume to print it, and the small bed that this has heats up fast, does the KAMP dance with the sensor, and off it goes. I found the hotend got up to the 220-230 range fast enough there wasn't a string of ooze I had to grab off with pliers. The little that did ooze was easily buried in the KAMP purge line. The bumpout towards the top of the cable chain popping loudly when it unjams itself from the side of the top always makes me twitch, there's definitely room for improvement there as I'm sure thats gonna cause some kind of problem eventually.
🤔 I don’t know what to do. I have mixed feelings about that whole review. It seems like it’s a piece of garbage but then you kind of recommend it. I know Customer Service everything but is this thing really worth 299?
@@3dpprofessor are you serious? Did you not watch the review that you made you had problems with this machine over and over again and you’re asking me what’s garbage?🤯
@@JerseyStyle7 I guess getting a beta unit that gets fixed is different than garbage for me. Because ultimately what I ended up with was pretty good. Because ultimately it it works good. And if everyone who bought one of these went through a similar experience, I'd say that pros could handle this one, hence which tier I put it in.
Keep in mind, though. My "recommendations" are very conditional. I try to find who a 3D printer is for. And ultimately this one *might* be for everyone, if they're shipping my final experience.
@@3dpprofessor I didn’t mean to come off rude or anything if the machine is good then it’s good. I will definitely pick one up. I appreciate your review and God bless.🙏🏽 did they fix all the problems that they had?
Nice video. I have both the X-Max-3 and the X-Smart 3. Both are very good printers. I never had heatcreep while printing. However, filament gets often stuck on unload - and yes it gets arount the extruder gears and jams inside the feeder. The reason is quite simple and easy to fix. On unload, the macro first extrudes a bit of filament fast and than retracts 80mm fast: While the filament should leave the hotend fast, it needs time to harden again - else the gears sqeeze the filament, it gets to wide to leave the extruder and jams araound the gear. Quite easy fix: open and edit the last line of [gcode_macro M603] in the printer.cfg: Replace: G1 E-80 F800 by G1 E-20 F800 G1 E-60 F200 Now the filament tip has more time to harden before reaching the gears. Never had an stuck on unload ever again. The only hardware problem I had was on the x-max-3. The z-bearings were rattleing and you saw z-artifacts (inconsitent layerhight). I replaced the bearings by Mitsumi LM10lUU, now it works well. One thing to mention: The hotend uses a thermocoupler, not a thermistor. For this reason it is not easy to change the coldend. You do not have a free thermistor input, neither on the main MCU, nor on the toolboard MCU. However, due to klipper you can simply add another board as 3th mcu (I used an old creality silent board). I actually managed to add an Revo coldend this way, wich makes nozzle-changes much more easy. By the way: Qidis slicer for the X3-series is based on PrusaSlicer, not Cura.
I have a Qidi X-Plus 3 purchased back in Dec 2023. It has worked out-of-the-box and so far no print failures. So far I have only use PLA. I have not tried to tweak the print speeds, etc. I do not know how/why they can get the X-Plus 3 "right" and this model has so many issues.
I had one.. .Mine was a work horse...wish they had moved to metal rods like the other models. At its current price its harder to swallow as the market has many competitors for that price.
I’m a weapon artist and I never cared for 3d printing. This video changed my mind. I don’t own a 3d printer but there is a 3d printing shop in my town. How much do you think this thing will cost to print out? I’ll try different alpha on a cylinder. Will the operators tell me if my mesh is alright or they are just gonna print the thing and charge me no matter the result? Amazing channel
they under priced their pledge target to automatically close the campaign with a win ... they are delivering in August 2024 ... that means they have already produced. This is using/abusing the Kickstarter concept as a preorder.
a lot of larger companies also abuse the "start up" delusion of Kickstarter ... SunLu is not exclusive in this ... CMON is a classic example. They still use Kickstarter as a pre-order system when they can damn well afford to develop and produce in the usual commercial way but CMON cultists still given them a fortune often over a year in advance of receiving product.
While I wish this was the case, Kickstarter wouldn't' be in business very long if they only took money from the little guys. They subsidise the little guys by letting the big guys play in the same platform. It might not be ideal, but it works.
For a low budget 3D scanning method, I used an Xbox Kinect (v2) with the program KScan3D 1.2 to make a Haunted Mansion styled inverted bust for Halloween of myself and the fam. I did have to touch them up in Blender a bit to smooth things out but it turned out awesome!
One major issue I have if you are correct that it is Sunlu is the fact that the should not need a kickstarter I'm quite sure they are well funded, and as others have said the A1 mini is still the goto I mean you are still as a parent going to closely monitor and educate your child and supervise so why not a unit that is well polished and will have dividends for years to come
the big screen is nice. I sell alot of tiny 3d printed parts so several small 3d printer would be great or my situation. I like having at least 1 smaller 3d printer. I wonder how quiet it is? So it does have a space. My kids would love to print little shoes, or other things for their action figures / dolls. As far as modeling. Unless they have permission that probably can't show kids using tinker cad.
Technically speaking an ender 3 can do 600mm/s. I consider the travel speed numbers marketing wank. What matters is volumetric flow and max acceleration before notable artifacts. As for the printer. none of it looks special. There wasn't anything advertised that is particularly special or easy to use. "app", doesn't really mean anything and I don't think pre-made models do anything but produce plastic waste for kids. It has to be about creativity and problem solving. As for safety. Sure it pauses, but so what. It's the hotend I'd most be worried about children burning themselves on.
I feel differently about premade models. I like a simple library, at least to get started. In fact I think their video demonstrates things rather well. You start off printing from the app, then move to problem solving. Not everyone's starting in the same place. Let's meet people where they are.
@@3dpprofessor I'm not so sure that really works. I see no evidence that smart phones and phone apps help people become problem solvers. I believe that if you want people to become problem solvers they should have open systems that ship with development tools and smart phones are too locked down for that. Even with the tools currently available it does not seem that that everyone one has an interest in going down this road.
@@peircedan i have to believe that's not the case. Over a decade ago I left software development because I was looking for work and walked into a company where everyone was using MacBooks. I related a time that I read the code for a Javascript library to duplicate the functionality without the bloat. Their software development lead looked at me wide eyed and said "that's possible?" But despite the fact that they were using different tools at a completely different level than I was used to, they were still a successful company making software. Times change. Tools shift. But making will find a way. Meet people where they are.
I wish I had seen this video before I bought my E3 S1 Pro. My friend recommended it to me and it's been nothing but a headache. I hate this thing. I feel like it was recommended to me as a cruel joke to see how much psychic torture one could be put through before they snap. "You should be able to level your printer and never touch it again!" I, meanwhile, cannot get my Ender to stay level. I cannot get my prints to stick. Stable surface? Nope. Glue? Nope. Slapping some G code into the slicer? Nope. Leveling with the paper trick? Nah. Leveling with a feeler gauge? Nope. Doesn't stay level. My prints fail several hours in. I get why I see so many pictures of people abandoning these cursed things by dumpsters. I'm about to abandon mine and I've had mine for not even 2 months. No words can describe how much I hate this thing. How many chances I've given it. The guides I've read. The amount of troubleshooting I've done. I don't want to think about this awful thing anymore. I want to smash it with a sledgehammer to feel any sort of relief from the pain I've felt dealing with this awful thing. I'm done. I hate Ender. I'll never buy an Ender again. I've watched other friends buy Bambus and they just work. When they do have issues it's a problem they can fix in 5 minutes. Sorry for the rant but there is no amount of words to describe how much I hate Ender and how much I hate my E3 S1 Pro. To resell this thing would make me feel immeasurable guilt because I feel as if I'd be pawning off a torture device onto someone else. I'm not alone with my feelings. I wish I read *ACTUAL* reviews that people wrote because all of these videos gushing about the E3 S1 Pro I'm convinced are paid actors. There's no way such a horrible thing can be so beloved when I can't get mine to print a single thing.
Europe has really strict laws especially when it comes to products made for children. I have alot of doubt that this product will make it in the European market.
$200 for a sunlu 100 x 100? I paid $210 for my sunlu S8 on October 13, 2020, which is a 300x300x400 printer aside from a huge footprint and a bad power switch location, that S8 has been a print and go. Currently have it loaned out to my makerspace
Agreed. How can you justify this thing at even the $159 "super early bird backer" price when $199 gets you an A1 mini? From the looks of it on the site, they have an 8 (.25kg) roll variety pack for $37, so not horribly overpriced like the $11/.25kg "half pound" rolls that toybox sells. A1 mini all day.
I feeling very skeptical regarding this printer. Apparently it will ship pre levelled. The bed is not heated so it comes with glue stick. The specs shown say nothing about wifi. It ships with a USB drive and no cables except for power. I don't recall ever seeing a product that supports wifi or bluetooth without saying so. If it does support wifi then is is 2.4 GHz or 5 GHz? Does it require to be connected to a phone through the entire print or can one download files to it. How much flash does it have for that? Just surprised this stuff is not spelled out.
@@3dpprofessor That value for money depends on what one is looking for and also, if it will perform once it is produced in quantity. Kickstarters don't always make it into production. I have some serious doubts but it is not a printer I want anyway. If it never makes it into production than those tiny spools could be a problem.
if its made by Sunlu then there is no reason for it to me on kick starter. kickstarter shoudlnt be allowing established international corporations to exploit their site as if they were some independent start up.
@@3dpprofessor How does it reduce risk? I would have thought it shifts risk from the manufacturer to the consumer. Some kickstarters never ship anything. Some ship stuff that ends up requiring modifications by the end user or a community that helps iterate better versions. This does not seem like the right kind of product for a kickstarter as it is expected to arrive fully functional and not as a project to fix.
@@peircedan It reduces risk in the send that they're more likely to deliver than someone who has never done manufacturing before.

They are claiming 50000 mm/s^2 accel which would mean that the printer would need only a 9 mm move to achieve 600 mm/s. So the speed is technically possible assuming the acceleration data is correct.
