I literally just bought this exact machine from eBay for $28.60. The only issue with it was the filament runout sensor which can be bypassed with a piece of wire. It runs very quietly. I noticed the included benchy was terrible as well. I am going to try something sliced later on.

that first print I blame on you... my Lk5 pro is amazing and even prints almost as fine detail as my ENder 3 pro both great machines for the money.. and the bed size is a huge plus on the LK5 Pro.. bought mine for 179.00 on sale at NEWEGG... not from getting pimped for Amazon kickbacks on some youtube hack site..

That is such a good price! Congrats!

Running a good ol' ender 3 Pro too since 2 years, yet got it used so who knows the actual age of the thing. Likely in the 5+ years range. Has had all the upgrades you could think of; linear rails, new motherboard, klipper, Bambu style hotend, a direct drive extruder (humming bird) and much much more. Now it requires more service than not and I'm about to upgrade to the new Qidi Q1 Pro. Maybe I'll dissect the oldie and do a complete DIY printer for fun

@LoyalMoses 3 месяца назад

Very cool! Also, Q1 Pro is great!

@crittkillen 3 месяца назад

I have that very printer. It is actually better than a lot of printers my company has. It doesn't have the features as new printers but the end print is great. I hate the micro usb card. You have to have the newer slice programs to get great prints though.

I have this printer. It was my first 3D printer, and I bought it back when it was first released. My only complaint is that prints stick to the glass so securely, I'm afraid of breaking it. I've since put a magnetic sheet and textured PEI plate on mine, problem solved. It's not fast, that's for sure. I don't print decorative stuff or trinkets...I print functional stuff almost exclusively. However, I can say that my prints are generally better than you got with that Benchy. I've since bought a Bambu Labs XC1, and that thing is great. But I'm hanging onto the LK5pro because of it's print envelope, until I find something newer that prints that big...perhaps a Sovol SV08, or an Elegoo Neptune 4 Max...but that doesn't cost as much as my XC1.

Over the years 3d printing and printers have changed in many ways. Prusa gave you reliability, creality gave you accessibility with price, voron gave speed and everything else was just iterations of the same giving steps in development. Then came bambu lab. Nothing really new but what an impact on the 3d printing world. Bambu lab took a geeky technology and turned it into a near perfect home appliance system and pushed the boundary with multi material AMS. I have a creality ender 3 s1 (stock) and it prints great and sat next to it is a Bambu lab A1 (with new bed fitted) and though similar as bed slingers they are worlds apart in operation experience and of course speed. But both work great, I still use both side by side but what a leap in just a short time. We should be thanking Bambu labs every day, not because of the printers and slicer they have given us but by what they have made other manufacturers produce in the last 12 months. wow I would love to have started 3d printing today instead of years ago, can’t wait to see what comes next 🤯

I'm still using 2 Anycubic Mega S that must be 5 or 6 years old? Sure they've had lots of upgrades. The worst part of the old printers is spending weeks and heaps of filament getting them dialed in. But now, they just keep chugging along. The hardest-worked one will be retired in the next few months though.

@LoyalMoses 4 месяца назад

@TinTalon 5 месяцев назад

i have an ender 3 pro and i still print with and an ender 3 s1 plus that again prints every day, then go to an elegoo neptune 4 max that is way different, but all printers i have print about the same quality, ender 3 is slower and then is goes up from there with the elegoo printing the fastest, but i use them all every day

It actually is crazy that machines started to actually prioritize aesthetic after Bambulab. Like there's a huge difference between the original ender 3 and its V3 in terms of design

@LoyalMoses 5 месяцев назад

So true! So much has changed in just the past couple of years.

@hihellothere9569 5 месяцев назад

@@LoyalMoses That's the one thing I nitpicked about the original printers is that they all look a bit tacky/ too diy like. If you don't mind looks sure it's not bad. But I am an artist and I'd rather have a machine that fits the aesthetic of my home rather than a sore sight of a skeleton of a computer.

@Phreakrider 5 месяцев назад

I think it's sad that most company went the way of re-inventing the wheels every year with their printer's design and parts. We sadly left the mantra of reprap and went the closed en proprietary way of doing things. Printers are less and less upgradable and Prussa remain's the only choice in that regard. I'm still running the Ender 3 V2 but right now it's printingg at KE speed and acceleration. It took some thinkerring and upgrades but in the end i kept it alive and away from a garbage can instead of outright buying new. This is my main grip with bambulab. Fabulous printers, but horrible mantra.

@LoyalMoses 5 месяцев назад

It’s the way of the world, there are open and closed solutions and a place for them both! Thank you for sharing.

The resolution issues could be caused by the way the gcode was encoded my the slicer and the resolution level it was assigned.

My wife actually bought this for me for Christmas a while back. I upgraded the Boden setup to a swiss micro ng direct drive (cr-10). Put in the dual z screw, After finishing the cad design I'm actually printing a new hot end cover for bl touch and two fans on my bambú labs in abs for the bltouch upgrade. I definitely do not run faster than 40-50 or ringing is too bad on detailed parts with both Boden or the new swiss micro moving up to .6 to speed it up as well. Doesn't compare to p1s quality no matter what you do to it but good for really big functional prints like a full size weeping angel concrete mold for garden. Just don't blink...

I owned 2 of those… they actually printed very well… I upgraded them to dual z… there was no auto leveling until I added the bl touch. But you need to do your PID tuning and set your esteps for proper extrusion

I’ve seen some great prints over the years from them, so I know it can print better!
