The direct drive extruder, mounted above the hot end, ensures smoother filament feeding and reduces the chances of jamming. This feature also makes it easier to work with flexible materials. The auto-bed leveling system ensures that every print starts with a perfect first layer, improving overall print quality. It compensates for any inconsistencies in the print bed, making it suitable for slightly warped beds. \n\nThe Creality Ender 3 S1 is designed for easy assembly, with most of the parts pre-assembled. Users only need to attach a few components and connect cables to get the printer ready for printing. The printer's build volume of 220 x 220 x 270 mm provides ample space for creating various objects. However, it should be noted that the Ender 3 S1 comes with a higher price tag compared to other consumer printers, as it offers premium features. While the touch screen interface is a convenient feature for navigating and configuring printing settings, it may not be a significant factor for all users.

There’s a little bit of wobble at the very top, but it’s barely noticeable – surpassing expectations. If you want to reduce it further, opting for the slightly more expensive KP3S Pro, which swaps the Y-axis linear rails for a smooth-riding Z, would be a good bet.

They offer great first layer adhesion with no spraysor other treatments, and can be flexed to quickly remove parts. You'll need to clean the bed with a solvent like acetone or IPA every so often to maintain the bed's adhesion.","In addition to the standard USB and SD card connections, you can connect wirelessly to this printer to print from your computer or mobile device. ","An all-metal hot end allows for printing at high temperatures up to 300C, while standard hot ends are capped at 260C before the PTFE material begins to degrade. All-metal hot ends are also less susceptible to jamming, and do not degrade as fast.","A CoreXY 3D printer kinematic system uses two stationary motors to move the print head in the X and Y directions, resulting in faster and more precise movements compared to traditional printers. By separating the movement of the print head from the movement of the build plate, the CoreXY system is able to avoid the added weight and momentum of a moving build plate. This results in less vibration and better control of the print head, allowing for faster and more precise movements. Additionally, the CoreXY system can print at higher speeds compared to H-bot systems because it only needs to move one motor for each axis of movement, reducing the overall weight and inertia of the system.","An enclosure seals air around the print area. This holds warm, still air around the print area and is essential for printing temperature-sensitive materials like ABS. Enclosures also prevent particulates and gasses from being emitted into the surrounding area, increasing safety. They also greatly reduce printer noise.","A dual gear extruder grips filament from both sides and can exert much more force on the filament before slipping. It helps with all filaments but especially with flexible, slippery TPU."],"ProsNames":["Modern mainboard features","Auto bed leveling","Large online community","Has touch screen","Premium components","Fully assembled","Direct drive extruder","PEI build surface has good balance of adhesion and part removal","Wireless printing","All-metal hot end","CoreXY Kinematic System","Enclosure","Dual gear extruder"],"ConsNames":["High price tag"],"ConsDetails":["While this printer includes a lot of premium features, they come with a price.

These features allow the P1S to more effectively print temperature-sensitive filament types such as ABS and ASA.\n\nThe P1S offers high-speed 3D printing in a robust CoreXY design with a print volume of 256 x 256 x 256 mm (10\" x 10\" x 10\"). It includes a direct drive extruder with an all-metal hot end capable of heating up to 300°C, enabling it to use all 3D printing filament types including PLA, PETG, TPU, ABS, ASA, and more.\n\nThe P1S includes firmware features such as vibration compensation and pressure advance to maintain print quality at speeds of up to 500 mm/s. Although it lacks the Lidar sensor and AI camera features of the Bambu Lab X1-Carbon, the P1S does include an automatic bed leveling system as well as an integrated camera for monitoring prints.\n\nThe display on the P1S is a monochrome text-only display with a button controller, which is unusually limited for its price point. However, it also includes WiFi and can be controlled using the Bambu Studio computer application or Bambu Handy smartphone app, giving users the ability to monitor and control the printer remotely. Files can be loaded over WiFi or using a microSD card.\n\nThe downside to the P1S is that repair parts are only available from the manufacturer, meaning you will need to trust Bambu Lab to continue to support the hardware and software of the P1S over the lifetime of the machine. Fortunately, Bambu Lab does offer a wide selection of repair parts on their site. \n\nOur overall take on the Bambu Lab P1S is that it's a compelling choice for users who want a capable 3D printer that doesn't require assembly or extensive calibration. In many ways, this is the same printer as the popular Bambu Lab P1P, but with the added enclosure and air filter. Those features aren't critical for 3D printing, but give the P1S added capability to print more materials as well as reducing noise and smell during printing. We've seen many users upgrade the P1P with an enclosure, so it's likely worth it to pay the added price for the P1S.\n\nHowever, the P1S is limited in a few ways--it doesn't have as many ease-of-use features as the X1-Carbon, and its proprietary hardware and firmare mean you are reliant on Bambu Lab for continued support of the machine. For users who want a 3D printer that feels high-end but want to stay within a budget, the Bambu Lab P1S is an excellent choice.","Include In Compare":true,"Link Text":"Check Price On Bambu Lab","Technology":"FDM","Max Speed":500,"Bed":["recINXQYZHrSJI98T"],"Extruder Model":["recBH4XoMGhH8unvp"],"Max Hotend Temp (Printer)":300,"include on 3dpros":true,"Brand":["recmvePjiAHxb0iRw"],"ProsDB":["recxGC4PnZaJoZc8G","recRvE82rtBL90JT4","rec7Lz58GrXMXVx8D","recrx0dVLiW8rcg0w","recNZNVUzclb8l6oJ","recYagsRp6MdvRAMd","rece5Hr0qaZfhBtqL","recNJdNmsMtEBfJ7I","recZzEdgrUOyBFZE8","recdGcGvnkyapNcuy","recTIbbSC2haHU1JX","recLeP1wufw6R9pW0","recxYamPDLrbqrSzM","recP5Us7sLba7gX2w"],"ConsDB":["recfRTyvaA3dWTea8","recjNHHILHMxsNTiZ","recd14Q1nhFxnYgsc"],"pick":true,"GeniusLink_CE_override":"https://us.store.bambulab.com/products/p1s?variant=41211805696136","Representative":true,"Release Quarter":"","Enclosure":true,"AccessoriesDB":["recFZ2M1RYJe375H0","recqsL4JWzCD6msl8"],"SEO description":"The Bambu Lab P1S is a high-speed 3D printer with a robust CoreXY design and a print volume of 256 x 256 x 256 mm.

Newer boards also include safety features like thermal runaway protection which shuts the printer down if it detects issues with overheating.","auto bed leveling will ensure your prints have perfect first layers every time and greatly reduce issues with bed adhesion. When using an auto-leveling system, the probe allows better tolerances for slightly warped print beds by measuring and compensating for any inconsistencies. Without this feature, you'll need to adjust the bed level manually using nuts on each corner of the print bed.","A large online community is important when it comes to any questions that come up as you learn how to use your 3D printer. A larger community typically means that you'll be able to find answers already posted to the most common questions, and you'll be able to find slicing profiles and printable upgrades online.","This printer is known for using the highest quality components, and prioritizes this over providing a lower price point on their printers.","This 3D printer is shipped completely assembled, and is ready to plug in and start using as soon as you unbox it. You will still need to follow the included calibration procedures, but this will not take a significant amount of time.","Direct drive extruders are mounted right above the hot end, and push the filament directly into it, as opposed to a side mounted bowden extruder setup. We prefer direct drive extruders to bowden since they are less prone to jamming and typically require less maintenance. they also are much easier to use with flexible materials","PEI beds are one of the more premium build surface options, and for good reason. They offer great first layer adhesion with no spraysor other treatments, and can be flexed to quickly remove parts. You'll need to clean the bed with a solvent like acetone or IPA every so often to maintain the bed's adhesion.","A larger than average build volume means that you will be able to print larger parts without the need to split them into pieces and attach them together, which is especially useful with functional parts. If you have the room for the larger footprint, we definitely recommend going with a larger 3D printer, since you can always print small parts on a larger printer.","In addition to the standard USB and SD card connections, you can connect wirelessly to this printer to print from your computer or mobile device. ","Linear rails provide added stability to the moving parts of the printer, allowing higher printing speeds without sacrificing quality. Keep in mind that the most important factor to consider when optimizing for print speed is the flow rate of filament, which depends on the hot end and nozzle size moreso than the motion system. ","An all-metal hot end allows for printing at high temperatures up to 300C, while standard hot ends are capped at 260C before the PTFE material begins to degrade. All-metal hot ends are also less susceptible to jamming, and do not degrade as fast.","A CoreXY 3D printer kinematic system uses two stationary motors to move the print head in the X and Y directions, resulting in faster and more precise movements compared to traditional printers. By separating the movement of the print head from the movement of the build plate, the CoreXY system is able to avoid the added weight and momentum of a moving build plate. This results in less vibration and better control of the print head, allowing for faster and more precise movements. Additionally, the CoreXY system can print at higher speeds compared to H-bot systems because it only needs to move one motor for each axis of movement, reducing the overall weight and inertia of the system.","A dual gear extruder grips filament from both sides and can exert much more force on the filament before slipping. It helps with all filaments but especially with flexible, slippery TPU.","An enclosure seals air around the print area. This holds warm, still air around the print area and is essential for printing temperature-sensitive materials like ABS. Enclosures also prevent particulates and gasses from being emitted into the surrounding area, increasing safety. They also greatly reduce printer noise."],"ProsNames":["Modern mainboard features","Auto bed leveling","Large online community","Premium components","Fully assembled","Direct drive extruder","PEI build surface has good balance of adhesion and part removal","Generous Build volume","Wireless printing","Linear rail motion system","All-metal hot end","CoreXY Kinematic System","Dual gear extruder","Enclosure"],"ConsNames":["No touch screen","High price tag","Dated LCD Screen"],"ConsDetails":["having a touch screen isn't a deal-maker or breaker, but it is a convenient feature that makes it easier to navigate the interface when you are printing files and configuring 3D printing settings. ","While this printer includes a lot of premium features, they come with a price. This printer is one of the more expensive consumer printers, and may not be worth the cost if you are willing to sacrifice some of the high end features.","The printer's LCD screen is a more basic monochrome interface with limited resolution and no support for graphical components. While this does not detract much from using the printer, it can take a bit longer to navigate through the text only menus, and gives the printer a less premium feel."],"Brand Summary":["Bambu Lab, founded by ex-DJI engineers in Shenzhen, has made waves in the 3D printing industry with its focus on speed, innovation, and user-friendliness.

The maximum flow rate for PLA filament is 110 mm³ per second. The Flsun S1 measures 550 x 595 x 1030 millimeters and weighs an impressive 39 kilograms, with a printing chamber that is 320 millimeters in diameter and 430 millimeters high. The print nozzle is an all-metal hot end that can be heated to up to 350 °C and has a diameter of 0.4 millimeters. The print bed can be heated to up to 120 °C; where the use of PLA, PETG, TPU, ABS, and carbon is supported. The print bed can be heated in zones. A LiDAR sensor system should ensure high accuracy of the first layer, while leveling and Z-axis compensation should be automatic. A camera is installed, so the AI should then be able to detect errors, which also enables time-lapse recordings to be made.\n\nOperation is said to be particularly easy thanks to a seven-inch touchscreen with a resolution of 1920 x 1080, which also supports a connection to a PC. The exhaust air from the FDM printer is not simply released into the environment; instead, a HEPA and an activated carbon filter are used. The S1 also leverages a closed-loop stepper motor system and there’s also “microtac radar”, which works to improve print quality, accuracy, flow, and prints’ first layers. Perhaps most interesting about the S1 is its dedicated chamber for filament drying, as well as stock temperature and humidity monitoring. That, combined with a “newly designed” FLSun OS system, creates a powerful printing platform for the experienced user looking for fast results.","Technology":"FDM","Max Speed":1200,"amazon link":"N/A","include on 3dpros":true,"Brand":["recxSGXG0Po19ZfFE"],"ProsDB":["recRvE82rtBL90JT4","recle5DYwMmcmtIm2","recrx0dVLiW8rcg0w","recNZNVUzclb8l6oJ","recYagsRp6MdvRAMd","recNJdNmsMtEBfJ7I","recZzEdgrUOyBFZE8","recTIbbSC2haHU1JX","recP5Us7sLba7gX2w","recxYamPDLrbqrSzM"],"ConsDB":["recjNHHILHMxsNTiZ"],"UI Type":"Full Color Touch Screen","Wifi":"Yes","Entered by":"Gary","image on imagekit":true,"image link":"https://ik.imagekit.io/3dpros/PrintersDB/FLSun_S1","Touch screen":1,"Build Volume mm":"320 x 320 x 430 mm","Size mm":"550 x 595 x 1030 mm","Manufacturer":["FLSun"],"imageKit Name":"FLSun_S1","image link (generated)":"https://ik.imagekit.io/3dpros/PrintersDB/FLSun_S1","ImageText":"https://ik.imagekit.io/3dpros/PrintersDB/FLSun_S1","ABL":1,"MetalExtruder":1,"DirectDrive":1,"MeanwellPsu":0,"ImageText copy":"https://dl.airtable.com/.attachments/6913f49d1800230008d2dc7e31656410/25c63888/FLSUNS1.png","creation date":"2024-02-02T21:59:55.000Z","airtable image url":"FLSUN S1.png (https://dl.airtable.com/.attachments/6913f49d1800230008d2dc7e31656410/25c63888/FLSUNS1.png)","ProsDetails":["auto bed leveling will ensure your prints have perfect first layers every time and greatly reduce issues with bed adhesion.

When using an auto-leveling system, the probe allows better tolerances for slightly warped print beds by measuring and compensating for any inconsistencies. Without this feature, you'll need to adjust the bed level manually using nuts on each corner of the print bed.","Many 3D printer features relate to the version of the mainboard and firmware, including features like resuming prints after a power failure and support for silent stepper motor drivers for quieter printing. Newer boards also include safety features like thermal runaway protection which shuts the printer down if it detects issues with overheating.","having a touch screen isn't a deal-maker or breaker, but it is a convenient feature that makes it easier to navigate the interface when you are printing files and configuring 3D printing settings. ","This 3D printer is shipped with most of the parts pre-assembled, and you will only need to attach a few components and connect a couple cables in order to get the machine ready to print.","Direct drive extruders are mounted right above the hot end, and push the filament directly into it, as opposed to a side mounted bowden extruder setup. We prefer direct drive extruders to bowden since they are less prone to jamming and typically require less maintenance. they also are much easier to use with flexible materials","A larger than average build volume means that you will be able to print larger parts without the need to split them into pieces and attach them together, which is especially useful with functional parts. If you have the room for the larger footprint, we definitely recommend going with a larger 3D printer, since you can always print small parts on a larger printer.","This printer does not include a lot of frills, but offers a good experience for a low price point. While this low price means you won't be getting the most premium features, you can still get a lot out of these machines if you are willing to put up with some missing quality of life features.","In addition to the standard USB and SD card connections, you can connect wirelessly to this printer to print from your computer or mobile device. ","A CoreXY 3D printer kinematic system uses two stationary motors to move the print head in the X and Y directions, resulting in faster and more precise movements compared to traditional printers. By separating the movement of the print head from the movement of the build plate, the CoreXY system is able to avoid the added weight and momentum of a moving build plate. This results in less vibration and better control of the print head, allowing for faster and more precise movements. Additionally, the CoreXY system can print at higher speeds compared to H-bot systems because it only needs to move one motor for each axis of movement, reducing the overall weight and inertia of the system.","An enclosure seals air around the print area. This holds warm, still air around the print area and is essential for printing temperature-sensitive materials like ABS. Enclosures also prevent particulates and gasses from being emitted into the surrounding area, increasing safety. They also greatly reduce printer noise.","A dual gear extruder grips filament from both sides and can exert much more force on the filament before slipping.

Its 256 x 256 x 256 mm build volume is slightly larger than machines such as the Creality Ender 3 series, and matches that of the Bambu P1P and X1C. It's notably larger than the 180 x 180 x 180 mm build volume of the A1 Mini, making it a clear upgrade from that machine.\n\nThe A1 uses a Cartesian \"bedslinger\" design, in which the X axis raises on a gantry and the bed moves back and forth along the Y axis. This design is shared with many other 3D printers in the A1's price range, but is unusual for Bambu Lab--most of their other machines use the CoreXY motion system instead. The motion system on the A1 uses linear rails to decrease vibration, allowing for high print speeds.\n\nSimilar to Bambu's other printers, the A1 includes a direct drive extruder with an all-metal hot end capable of heating to 300°C, allowing it to print most standard filament types, including flexible filament. However, since the printer isn't enclosed, it won't be an ideal choice for printing materials such as ABS and ASA that benefit from an enclosure.\n\nThe A1 includes advanced firmware features and sensors that should improve its print quality and ease of use compared to other 3D printers in its price class. In addition to automatic bed leveling and Z offset calibration (which is starting to become a common feature in printers in this class), the A1 includes a sensor in the hot end which allows it to calibrate the flow rate of the filament to further improve print quality. \n\nLike the rest of Bambu's lineup, the A1 includes WiFi connectivity and has an integrated camera. These features allow you to monitor and control the printer remotely using the Bambu Studio computer application or the Bambu Handy smartphone app. \n\nThe A1 is also available in a bundle with the Bambu Lab AMS Lite, a multi-material system that allows the A1 to print with up to 4 different filament spools at once.\n\nThe Bambu A1 shares many of its fundamental specs with a number of 3D printers from other manufacturers, many of which come in at a lower price. However, its advanced firmware features, overall build quality, and convenience features such as the integrated camera and flow rate sensor give it a few key advantages over its competition that may make it worth a look as a more premium option in its class.","Include In Compare":true,"Link Text":"Check Price On Bambu Lab","Technology":"FDM","Max Speed":500,"Extruder Model":["recBH4XoMGhH8unvp"],"Max Hotend Temp (Printer)":300,"include on 3dpros":true,"Brand":["recmvePjiAHxb0iRw"],"ProsDB":["recxGC4PnZaJoZc8G","recRvE82rtBL90JT4","rec7Lz58GrXMXVx8D","recrx0dVLiW8rcg0w","recNZNVUzclb8l6oJ","recYagsRp6MdvRAMd","rece5Hr0qaZfhBtqL","recZzEdgrUOyBFZE8","recdGcGvnkyapNcuy","recTIbbSC2haHU1JX","recxYamPDLrbqrSzM"],"GeniusLink_CE_override":"https://us.store.bambulab.com/products/a1","Release Quarter":"Q4","AccessoriesDB":["recoK1vw65bjZjVQJ","recqsL4JWzCD6msl8"],"SEO description":"The Bambu Lab A1 is a midrange 3D printer with fast print speeds, advanced sensors, and above-average print quality.

When using an auto-leveling system, the probe allows better tolerances for slightly warped print beds by measuring and compensating for any inconsistencies. Without this feature, you'll need to adjust the bed level manually using nuts on each corner of the print bed.","having a touch screen isn't a deal-maker or breaker, but it is a convenient feature that makes it easier to navigate the interface when you are printing files and configuring 3D printing settings. ","This printer is known for using the highest quality components, and prioritizes this over providing a lower price point on their printers.","This 3D printer is shipped completely assembled, and is ready to plug in and start using as soon as you unbox it. You will still need to follow the included calibration procedures, but this will not take a significant amount of time.","Direct drive extruders are mounted right above the hot end, and push the filament directly into it, as opposed to a side mounted bowden extruder setup. We prefer direct drive extruders to bowden since they are less prone to jamming and typically require less maintenance. they also are much easier to use with flexible materials","PEI beds are one of the more premium build surface options, and for good reason. They offer great first layer adhesion with no spraysor other treatments, and can be flexed to quickly remove parts. You'll need to clean the bed with a solvent like acetone or IPA every so often to maintain the bed's adhesion.","A larger than average build volume means that you will be able to print larger parts without the need to split them into pieces and attach them together, which is especially useful with functional parts. If you have the room for the larger footprint, we definitely recommend going with a larger 3D printer, since you can always print small parts on a larger printer.","In addition to the standard USB and SD card connections, you can connect wirelessly to this printer to print from your computer or mobile device. ","An all-metal hot end allows for printing at high temperatures up to 300C, while standard hot ends are capped at 260C before the PTFE material begins to degrade. All-metal hot ends are also less susceptible to jamming, and do not degrade as fast.","A CoreXY 3D printer kinematic system uses two stationary motors to move the print head in the X and Y directions, resulting in faster and more precise movements compared to traditional printers. By separating the movement of the print head from the movement of the build plate, the CoreXY system is able to avoid the added weight and momentum of a moving build plate. This results in less vibration and better control of the print head, allowing for faster and more precise movements. Additionally, the CoreXY system can print at higher speeds compared to H-bot systems because it only needs to move one motor for each axis of movement, reducing the overall weight and inertia of the system.","An enclosure seals air around the print area. This holds warm, still air around the print area and is essential for printing temperature-sensitive materials like ABS. Enclosures also prevent particulates and gasses from being emitted into the surrounding area, increasing safety. They also greatly reduce printer noise.","A dual gear extruder grips filament from both sides and can exert much more force on the filament before slipping. It helps with all filaments but especially with flexible, slippery TPU.","Linear rails provide added stability to the moving parts of the printer, allowing higher printing speeds without sacrificing quality. Keep in mind that the most important factor to consider when optimizing for print speed is the flow rate of filament, which depends on the hot end and nozzle size moreso than the motion system. "],"ProsNames":["Auto bed leveling","Has touch screen","Premium components","Fully assembled","Direct drive extruder","PEI build surface has good balance of adhesion and part removal","Generous Build volume","Wireless printing","All-metal hot end","CoreXY Kinematic System","Enclosure","Dual gear extruder","Linear rail motion system"],"ConsNames":["High price tag"],"ConsDetails":["While this printer includes a lot of premium features, they come with a price.

The X1-Carbon pushes the envelope of both performance and ease of use for consumer FDM 3D printers, making it a compelling choice for users who are willing to pay for a higher-end machine.\n\nThe X1 Carbon has a slightly above-average print volume of 256 x 256 x 256 mm (10\" x 10\" x 10\") and features a direct drive extruder with an all-metal hot end and a hardened steel nozzle, enabling it to print all available filament types. Its CoreXY motion system and advanced firmware features such as pressure advance and vibration compensation allow it to attain print speeds of up to 500 mm/s while maintaining high print quality. \n\nOne differentiating feature of the Bambu Lab X1-Carbon is the Lidar sensor, which allows it to precisely measure the height of the first layer of the print. This serves as an additional bed leveling calibration tool, but also enables the X1-Carbon to analyze the flow rate of the filament, allowing it to automatically calibrate its extrusion parameters for different filament types. This is a feature we haven't seen on any other consumer FDM 3D printer. In addition, a camera in the build chamber uses AI image processing to detect failed prints.\n\nThe X1-Carbon has an integrated 5\" touchscreen controller, but can also be controlled wirelessly with the Bambu Studio computer application or the Bambu Handy phone app. The apps allow you to remotely monitor and control the X1-Carbon. Files can be loaded wirelessly from the Bambu Studio app, or by using a microSD card.\n\nThe downsides to the Bambu Lab X1-Carbon are its high price and lack of third-party repair parts. The MSRP of the X1-Carbon is higher than many other 3D printers with comparable key specifications, making it a premium option for buyers who prioritize ease of use and advanced features over affordability. And because of its automated calibration features and custom design, almost all repair parts are sold only by Bambu Lab. Although there is a wide range of repair parts available on Bambu Lab's site, this does mean that the longevity of the X1-Carbon is dependent on Bambu Lab's continued support of the machine.\n\nOur overall take on the Bambu Lab X1-Carbon is that its advanced printing capabilities and ease-of-use features make it an excellent option for users who are willing to pay a premium price for one of the highest-end FDM 3D printers currently available. But for users who are just getting started with 3D printing and want to stick to a lower budget, there are other machines which provide excellent print quality at a much lower price.","Include In Compare":true,"Link Text":"Check Price on Bambu Lab","Technology":"FDM","Max Speed":500,"Bed":["recINXQYZHrSJI98T"],"Extruder Model":["recBH4XoMGhH8unvp"],"Max Hotend Temp (Printer)":300,"Assembly Time (Minutes)":15,"Has bed levelling (data entry)":true,"include on 3dpros":true,"Brand":["recmvePjiAHxb0iRw"],"ProsDB":["recxGC4PnZaJoZc8G","recRvE82rtBL90JT4","rec7Lz58GrXMXVx8D","recle5DYwMmcmtIm2","recrx0dVLiW8rcg0w","recNZNVUzclb8l6oJ","recYagsRp6MdvRAMd","rece5Hr0qaZfhBtqL","recNJdNmsMtEBfJ7I","recZzEdgrUOyBFZE8","recLeP1wufw6R9pW0","recP5Us7sLba7gX2w","recxYamPDLrbqrSzM","recdGcGvnkyapNcuy","recTIbbSC2haHU1JX"],"ConsDB":["recjNHHILHMxsNTiZ","rec2GfrQk2BEBUKdY"],"GeniusLink_CE_override":"https://geni.us/CE_Bambu_x1_carbon","Release Quarter":"","Enclosure":true,"AccessoriesDB":["recFZ2M1RYJe375H0"],"SEO description":"The Bambu Lab X1-Carbon is a premium 3D printer with fast print speeds, enclosed build chamber, automated calibration, and AI vision features.

Newer boards also include safety features like thermal runaway protection which shuts the printer down if it detects issues with overheating.","auto bed leveling will ensure your prints have perfect first layers every time and greatly reduce issues with bed adhesion. When using an auto-leveling system, the probe allows better tolerances for slightly warped print beds by measuring and compensating for any inconsistencies. Without this feature, you'll need to adjust the bed level manually using nuts on each corner of the print bed.","A large online community is important when it comes to any questions that come up as you learn how to use your 3D printer. A larger community typically means that you'll be able to find answers already posted to the most common questions, and you'll be able to find slicing profiles and printable upgrades online.","having a touch screen isn't a deal-maker or breaker, but it is a convenient feature that makes it easier to navigate the interface when you are printing files and configuring 3D printing settings.

You will still need to follow the included calibration procedures, but this will not take a significant amount of time.","Direct drive extruders are mounted right above the hot end, and push the filament directly into it, as opposed to a side mounted bowden extruder setup. We prefer direct drive extruders to bowden since they are less prone to jamming and typically require less maintenance. they also are much easier to use with flexible materials","PEI beds are one of the more premium build surface options, and for good reason. They offer great first layer adhesion with no spraysor other treatments, and can be flexed to quickly remove parts. You'll need to clean the bed with a solvent like acetone or IPA every so often to maintain the bed's adhesion.","A larger than average build volume means that you will be able to print larger parts without the need to split them into pieces and attach them together, which is especially useful with functional parts. If you have the room for the larger footprint, we definitely recommend going with a larger 3D printer, since you can always print small parts on a larger printer.","In addition to the standard USB and SD card connections, you can connect wirelessly to this printer to print from your computer or mobile device. ","A CoreXY 3D printer kinematic system uses two stationary motors to move the print head in the X and Y directions, resulting in faster and more precise movements compared to traditional printers. By separating the movement of the print head from the movement of the build plate, the CoreXY system is able to avoid the added weight and momentum of a moving build plate. This results in less vibration and better control of the print head, allowing for faster and more precise movements. Additionally, the CoreXY system can print at higher speeds compared to H-bot systems because it only needs to move one motor for each axis of movement, reducing the overall weight and inertia of the system.","An enclosure seals air around the print area. This holds warm, still air around the print area and is essential for printing temperature-sensitive materials like ABS. Enclosures also prevent particulates and gasses from being emitted into the surrounding area, increasing safety.

When using an auto-leveling system, the probe allows better tolerances for slightly warped print beds by measuring and compensating for any inconsistencies. Without this feature, you'll need to adjust the bed level manually using nuts on each corner of the print bed.","having a touch screen isn't a deal-maker or breaker, but it is a convenient feature that makes it easier to navigate the interface when you are printing files and configuring 3D printing settings. ","Many 3D printer features relate to the version of the mainboard and firmware, including features like resuming prints after a power failure and support for silent stepper motor drivers for quieter printing. Newer boards also include safety features like thermal runaway protection which shuts the printer down if it detects issues with overheating.","Direct drive extruders are mounted right above the hot end, and push the filament directly into it, as opposed to a side mounted bowden extruder setup. We prefer direct drive extruders to bowden since they are less prone to jamming and typically require less maintenance. they also are much easier to use with flexible materials","A dual gear extruder grips filament from both sides and can exert much more force on the filament before slipping. It helps with all filaments but especially with flexible, slippery TPU.","A larger than average build volume means that you will be able to print larger parts without the need to split them into pieces and attach them together, which is especially useful with functional parts. If you have the room for the larger footprint, we definitely recommend going with a larger 3D printer, since you can always print small parts on a larger printer.","A CoreXY 3D printer kinematic system uses two stationary motors to move the print head in the X and Y directions, resulting in faster and more precise movements compared to traditional printers. By separating the movement of the print head from the movement of the build plate, the CoreXY system is able to avoid the added weight and momentum of a moving build plate. This results in less vibration and better control of the print head, allowing for faster and more precise movements. Additionally, the CoreXY system can print at higher speeds compared to H-bot systems because it only needs to move one motor for each axis of movement, reducing the overall weight and inertia of the system."],"ProsNames":["Auto bed leveling","Has touch screen","Modern mainboard features","Direct drive extruder","Dual gear extruder","Generous Build volume","CoreXY Kinematic System"],"Brand Summary":["Creality is a well-known brand that offers a wide range of consumer 3D printers across all price points, from budget to higher end models.

","A CoreXY 3D printer kinematic system uses two stationary motors to move the print head in the X and Y directions, resulting in faster and more precise movements compared to traditional printers. By separating the movement of the print head from the movement of the build plate, the CoreXY system is able to avoid the added weight and momentum of a moving build plate. This results in less vibration and better control of the print head, allowing for faster and more precise movements. Additionally, the CoreXY system can print at higher speeds compared to H-bot systems because it only needs to move one motor for each axis of movement, reducing the overall weight and inertia of the system.","A dual gear extruder grips filament from both sides and can exert much more force on the filament before slipping.

Founded in 2011, Flashforge, the first Chinese manufacturer of 3D printers, has continually expanded its offerings to include not only consumer-level printers but also models suited for educational, professional, and industrial purposes. Their products are characterized by fully enclosed designs that deviate from the typical open-frame models seen in some competitors. The brand has made a name for itself with its focus on user-friendly features such as automatic filament feeding, dual extrusion capabilities, WiFi connectivity, large touchscreens, and cloud printing. These advanced features, combined with their fully enclosed structures, position Flashforge printers as more than just tools, but as integral, user-friendly appliances in the home or professional setting.\n\nDespite their broad appeal, Flashforge faces criticism for not fully embracing the open-source movement, resulting in proprietary parts that can limit compatibility with generic components. This aspect can be a drawback for users who seek to upgrade their printers with third-party parts or who require standard-sized filament spools, as Flashforge's automatic filament feeder system is designed for narrower, brand-specific spools. However, the company offsets these limitations by offering lifetime technical support and maintaining a robust online presence, including a substantial following on social media platforms like Facebook. This support, coupled with their focus on producing printers that are quiet, enclosed, and automated, cements Flashforge’s status as a brand dedicated to creating accessible, high-quality 3D printing experiences, especially for those new to the field.\n\n"],"Brand Synopsis":["Flashforge, a prominent brand in the 3D printing industry since 2011, offers a range of mid to high-priced printers renowned for their beginner-friendly design and advanced features.

These machines integrate an AI-driven mechanism to meet diverse printing needs and are equipped with features like precise heating, efficient printing speeds, solid construction, auto-leveling, AI monitoring, and versatile connectivity. For those setting up, while the process is designed to be straightforward, beginners might need to refer to supplementary online resources due to the technical nature of some documentation. In terms of online presence, AnkerMake is in its nascent stage, with platforms like Reddit offering more active community support compared to the brand's official channels. The company offers online troubleshooting, but user feedback points to possible improvements in warranty and customer service areas.\n\nDiving deeper into their product lineup, the AnkerMake M5 stands out as a high-performance Cartesian 3D printer, characterized by its diverse features and a 4.3\" touchscreen interface. On the other hand, the M5C, a more budget-friendly option, excludes a traditional display in favor of a multi-functional button and connectivity to a mobile app. Both models are tailored for efficient performance; however, given their advanced features, they might be more suitable for individuals with prior 3D printing experience. Overall, while AnkerMake printers offer notable benefits such as advanced AI capabilities and a robust design, potential users should be aware of certain challenges like the brand's emerging online community and areas in AI that might require further optimization."],"Brand Synopsis":["AnkerMake, an offshoot of the electronics firm Anker, has ventured into the 3D printing industry with the M5 and M5C Cartesian printers.

One notable feature is the automatic bed leveling (ABL) system, which ensures perfect first layers and reduces issues with bed adhesion. The ABL system measures and compensates for any inconsistencies in the print bed, allowing for better tolerances even on slightly warped beds. This eliminates the need for manual bed leveling, saving time and effort. \n\nAnother standout feature of the Kobra 2 Neo is its direct-drive extruder. Unlike side-mounted bowden extruders, the direct-drive extruder is mounted right above the hot end, pushing the filament directly into it. This design reduces the chances of filament jamming and requires less maintenance. It also makes the printer compatible with flexible materials, offering more versatility in printing options. \n\nThe Kobra 2 Neo comes with a PEI Spring Steel bed, which is a premium build surface option. The PEI bed provides excellent first layer adhesion without the need for additional treatments. It can be flexed to quickly remove printed parts, making the printing process more efficient. However, it is important to regularly clean the bed with a solvent like acetone or IPA to maintain its adhesion. \n\nOne drawback of the Anycubic Kobra 2 Neo is the limited online community support. With a smaller community, users may need to rely more on their own troubleshooting and problem-solving skills. Additionally, the printer does not have a touch screen interface, which may be seen as a convenience for navigating through the settings and files during the printing process. \n\nOverall, the Anycubic Kobra 2 Neo is a competitive entry-level 3D printer that offers high-speed printing, automatic bed leveling, and a direct-drive extruder. Its premium features and affordable price make it an attractive option for beginners and enthusiasts alike.

","This 3D printer is shipped completely assembled, and is ready to plug in and start using as soon as you unbox it.

When using an auto-leveling system, the probe allows better tolerances for slightly warped print beds by measuring and compensating for any inconsistencies. Without this feature, you'll need to adjust the bed level manually using nuts on each corner of the print bed.","Direct drive extruders are mounted right above the hot end, and push the filament directly into it, as opposed to a side mounted bowden extruder setup. We prefer direct drive extruders to bowden since they are less prone to jamming and typically require less maintenance. they also are much easier to use with flexible materials","In addition to the standard USB and SD card connections, you can connect wirelessly to this printer to print from your computer or mobile device. ","A larger than average build volume means that you will be able to print larger parts without the need to split them into pieces and attach them together, which is especially useful with functional parts. If you have the room for the larger footprint, we definitely recommend going with a larger 3D printer, since you can always print small parts on a larger printer.","A CoreXY 3D printer kinematic system uses two stationary motors to move the print head in the X and Y directions, resulting in faster and more precise movements compared to traditional printers. By separating the movement of the print head from the movement of the build plate, the CoreXY system is able to avoid the added weight and momentum of a moving build plate. This results in less vibration and better control of the print head, allowing for faster and more precise movements. Additionally, the CoreXY system can print at higher speeds compared to H-bot systems because it only needs to move one motor for each axis of movement, reducing the overall weight and inertia of the system.","An enclosure seals air around the print area. This holds warm, still air around the print area and is essential for printing temperature-sensitive materials like ABS. Enclosures also prevent particulates and gasses from being emitted into the surrounding area, increasing safety. They also greatly reduce printer noise."],"ProsNames":["Modern mainboard features","Has touch screen","Fully assembled","Auto bed leveling","Direct drive extruder","Wireless printing","Generous Build volume","CoreXY Kinematic System","Enclosure"],"Brand Summary":["Flashforge has established itself as a key player in the 3D printing industry, particularly known for its mid-priced and high-priced 3D printers that cater to a diverse range of users, from beginners to professionals. Founded in 2011, Flashforge, the first Chinese manufacturer of 3D printers, has continually expanded its offerings to include not only consumer-level printers but also models suited for educational, professional, and industrial purposes. Their products are characterized by fully enclosed designs that deviate from the typical open-frame models seen in some competitors. The brand has made a name for itself with its focus on user-friendly features such as automatic filament feeding, dual extrusion capabilities, WiFi connectivity, large touchscreens, and cloud printing. These advanced features, combined with their fully enclosed structures, position Flashforge printers as more than just tools, but as integral, user-friendly appliances in the home or professional setting.\n\nDespite their broad appeal, Flashforge faces criticism for not fully embracing the open-source movement, resulting in proprietary parts that can limit compatibility with generic components. This aspect can be a drawback for users who seek to upgrade their printers with third-party parts or who require standard-sized filament spools, as Flashforge's automatic filament feeder system is designed for narrower, brand-specific spools. However, the company offsets these limitations by offering lifetime technical support and maintaining a robust online presence, including a substantial following on social media platforms like Facebook. This support, coupled with their focus on producing printers that are quiet, enclosed, and automated, cements Flashforge’s status as a brand dedicated to creating accessible, high-quality 3D printing experiences, especially for those new to the field.\n\n"],"Brand Synopsis":["Flashforge, a prominent brand in the 3D printing industry since 2011, offers a range of mid to high-priced printers renowned for their beginner-friendly design and advanced features.

One notable feature is the auto bed leveling system, which ensures that your prints have perfect first layers every time and reduces issues with bed adhesion. This feature is especially useful for slightly warped print beds, as the probe measures and compensates for any inconsistencies. Additionally, the printer is equipped with a touch screen interface, making it easier to navigate and configure 3D printing settings. \n\nAnother standout feature of the Anycubic Kobra Neo is its direct drive extruder. Unlike side-mounted bowden extruders, the direct drive extruder is mounted right above the hot end and pushes the filament directly into it. This design reduces the chances of jamming and requires less maintenance. Furthermore, the printer comes with a magnetic PEI build surface, which provides strong adhesion for your prints. \n\nReleased in 2022, the Anycubic Kobra Neo is a relatively new model in the market. While it offers a range of impressive features, there are a few drawbacks to consider. The printer uses more plastic pieces and lower quality components to keep costs down, which may affect its overall durability. Additionally, the online community for this printer is relatively small, which means that there may be limited availability of slicer profiles and less support from the community for troubleshooting. Despite these drawbacks, the Anycubic Kobra Neo stands out as a feature-rich and affordable option for those looking to venture into 3D printing.","Include In Compare":true,"Link Text":"Check Price on Amazon","Technology":"FDM","Max Speed":100,"Bed":["rec9DAuRabG2627sb"],"Extruder Model":["recYIpQTs66yeTZMN"],"Month released":"december","Max Hotend Temp (Printer)":260,"Assembly Time (Minutes)":15,"include on 3dpros":true,"Brand":["recEIyDPLaokuBJbC"],"ProsDB":["recRvE82rtBL90JT4","recle5DYwMmcmtIm2","recYagsRp6MdvRAMd"],"ConsDB":["rec0p4HZJqPiZ6Zag","recvQpXV6IJDjXqed"],"scriptTest":"200","Release Quarter":"","SEO description":"The Anycubic Kobra Neo is a feature-rich and affordable 3D printer with auto bed leveling, direct drive extruder, and a magnetic PEI build surface.

Founded in 2011, Flashforge, the first Chinese manufacturer of 3D printers, has continually expanded its offerings to include not only consumer-level printers but also models suited for educational, professional, and industrial purposes. Their products are characterized by fully enclosed designs that deviate from the typical open-frame models seen in some competitors. The brand has made a name for itself with its focus on user-friendly features such as automatic filament feeding, dual extrusion capabilities, WiFi connectivity, large touchscreens, and cloud printing. These advanced features, combined with their fully enclosed structures, position Flashforge printers as more than just tools, but as integral, user-friendly appliances in the home or professional setting.\n\nDespite their broad appeal, Flashforge faces criticism for not fully embracing the open-source movement, resulting in proprietary parts that can limit compatibility with generic components. This aspect can be a drawback for users who seek to upgrade their printers with third-party parts or who require standard-sized filament spools, as Flashforge's automatic filament feeder system is designed for narrower, brand-specific spools. However, the company offsets these limitations by offering lifetime technical support and maintaining a robust online presence, including a substantial following on social media platforms like Facebook. This support, coupled with their focus on producing printers that are quiet, enclosed, and automated, cements Flashforge’s status as a brand dedicated to creating accessible, high-quality 3D printing experiences, especially for those new to the field.\n\n"],"Brand Synopsis":["Flashforge, a prominent brand in the 3D printing industry since 2011, offers a range of mid to high-priced printers renowned for their beginner-friendly design and advanced features.

Although the P1P does not come with an enclosed print chamber, you can print side panels for the machine to enclose the chamber for printing temperature-sensitive materials such as ABS and ASA.\n\nThe P1P includes firmware features such as vibration compensation and pressure advance to maintain print quality at speeds of up to 500 mm/s. Although it lacks the Lidar sensor and AI camera features of the Bambu Lab X1-Carbon, the P1P does include an automatic bed leveling system as well as an integrated camera for monitoring prints.\n\nThe Bambu Lab P1P has a monochrome text-only display with a button controller, which is unusually limited for its price point. However, it also includes WiFi and can be controlled using the Bambu Studio computer application or Bambu Handy smartphone app, giving users the ability to monitor and control the printer remotely. Files can be loaded over WiFi or using a microSD card.\n\nThe downside to the P1P is that repair parts are only available from the manufacturer, meaning you will need to trust Bambu Lab to continue to support the hardware and software of the P1P over the lifetime of the machine. Fortunately, Bambu Lab does offer a wide selection of repair parts on their site. \n\nOur overall take on the Bambu Lab P1P is that its high-end feature set makes it a compelling choice for users who want a capable 3D printer that doesn't require assembly or extensive calibration. Its print quality and speed are comparable to the Bambu Lab X1-Carbon, but at a much lower price point that is competitive with offerings from other manufacturers. However, the P1P is limited in a few ways--it doesn't have as many ease-of-use features as the X1-Carbon, and its proprietary hardware and firmare mean you are reliant on Bambu Lab for continued support of the machine. For users who want a 3D printer that feels high-end but want to stay within a budget, the Bambu Lab P1P should be a front-runner choice.","Include In Compare":true,"Link Text":"Check Price on Bambu Lab","Technology":"FDM","Max Speed":500,"Extruder Model":["recBH4XoMGhH8unvp"],"Max Hotend Temp (Printer)":300,"Assembly Time (Minutes)":15,"Has bed levelling (data entry)":true,"include on 3dpros":true,"Brand":["recmvePjiAHxb0iRw"],"ProsDB":["recxGC4PnZaJoZc8G","recRvE82rtBL90JT4","rec7Lz58GrXMXVx8D","recrx0dVLiW8rcg0w","recNZNVUzclb8l6oJ","recYagsRp6MdvRAMd","rece5Hr0qaZfhBtqL","recNJdNmsMtEBfJ7I","recZzEdgrUOyBFZE8","recdGcGvnkyapNcuy","recTIbbSC2haHU1JX","recLeP1wufw6R9pW0","recxYamPDLrbqrSzM"],"ConsDB":["recfRTyvaA3dWTea8","recjNHHILHMxsNTiZ","recd14Q1nhFxnYgsc"],"GeniusLink_CE_override":"https://geni.us/CE_Bambu_P1P","Release Quarter":"","Enclosure":true,"AccessoriesDB":["recFZ2M1RYJe375H0","recqsL4JWzCD6msl8"],"SEO description":"The Bambu Lab P1P is a high-speed 3D printer with a robust CoreXY design, direct drive extruder, and automatic bed leveling.

","An all-metal hot end allows for printing at high temperatures up to 300C, while standard hot ends are capped at 260C before the PTFE material begins to degrade. All-metal hot ends are also less susceptible to jamming, and do not degrade as fast.","A CoreXY 3D printer kinematic system uses two stationary motors to move the print head in the X and Y directions, resulting in faster and more precise movements compared to traditional printers. By separating the movement of the print head from the movement of the build plate, the CoreXY system is able to avoid the added weight and momentum of a moving build plate. This results in less vibration and better control of the print head, allowing for faster and more precise movements. Additionally, the CoreXY system can print at higher speeds compared to H-bot systems because it only needs to move one motor for each axis of movement, reducing the overall weight and inertia of the system.","A dual gear extruder grips filament from both sides and can exert much more force on the filament before slipping.

Its build volume of 180 x 180 x 180 mm (7.1\" x 7.1\" x 7.1\") is smaller than average, and the single Z column design doesn't offer the same physical stability of the standard 2-column or enclosed frame designs found on many other printers. However, the calibration and monitoring features of the A1 Mini may make up for these shortcomings.\n\nThe A1 Mini includes a direct drive extruder with an all-metal hot end that can heat up to 300°C, allowing it to print most standard filament types, including flexible filament. However, the PEI build plate can only heat up to 80°C, which will limit the printer's ability to print certain materials such as ABS.\n\nThe Bambu Lab A1 Mini includes advanced firmware features such as vibration compensation and pressure advance, improving print quality. The A1 Mini also includes automatic bed leveling and Z offset calibration to simplify the calibration process. A new flow rate sensor in the hot end allows it to calibrate the flow rate of the filament to further improve printing performance.\n\nSimilar to other Bambu Lab printers, the A1 Mini includes WiFi connectivity, allowing users to monitor and control the printer with the Bambu Studio computer application or the Bambu Handy smartphone app. A camera mounted in the Z gantry allows for remote monitoring of prints.\n\nOur take on the Bambu Lab A1 Mini is that its unconventional design and small build volume may be hard for some users to accept, but the advanced printing features make it worth considering as an entry-level machine. The A1 Mini is more expensive than other entry-level 3D printers, and can't print items as large as some of those machines, but its sensors and firmware features should make it capable of producing higher-quality prints.

It comes with auto bed leveling, which ensures that your prints have perfect first layers every time and reduces issues with bed adhesion. This feature is particularly useful for slightly warped print beds, as the probe measures and compensates for any inconsistencies. The printer also features a Carborundum glass build plate, which provides good adhesion while heated and allows for easy removal of printed parts once it cools. The use of Carborundum glass eliminates the need for additional adhesives like hairspray. However, it is important to clean the bed with a damp cloth after every 5-10 prints to maintain adhesion.\n\nOne standout feature of the Creality Ender 3 Max Neo is its ease of assembly. The printer is shipped with most of the parts pre-assembled, and users only need to attach a few components and connect cables to get the machine ready to print. This makes it a great option for beginners or those who prefer a hassle-free setup. Additionally, the printer utilizes a Cartesian kinematics system and a standard hotend type, which are common configurations known for their reliability and ease of use.\n\nWhile the Creality Ender 3 Max Neo offers many desirable features, it is worth noting that it does not have a touch screen interface. While this may not be a deal-breaker, a touch screen can provide added convenience when navigating the printer's interface and configuring printing settings. Overall, the Creality Ender 3 Max Neo is a reliable and user-friendly 3D printer with a larger build volume and features such as auto bed leveling and a Carborundum glass build plate that enhance the printing experience.","Include In Compare":true,"Link Text":"Check Price on Amazon","Technology":"FDM","Max Speed":120,"Bed":["recOBAZDCW3kJD8za"],"Extruder Model":["recsFyGIA5g1yPxTE"],"include on 3dpros":true,"Brand":["recxQnFtMyRu1hQZf"],"ProsDB":["recRvE82rtBL90JT4","recxGC4PnZaJoZc8G","recpDNpGVB8c9Wy9Z","rec7W7KVAK8qkaMPJ"],"ConsDB":["recfRTyvaA3dWTea8"],"pick":true,"Release Quarter":"","SEO description":"The Creality Ender 3 Max Neo is a user-friendly 3D printer with a large build volume, auto bed leveling, and a Carborundum glass build plate.

The X1-Carbon pushes the envelope of both performance and ease of use for consumer FDM 3D printers, making it a compelling choice for users who are willing to pay for a higher-end machine.\n\nThe X1-Carbon Combo includes the Bambu Lab Automatic Material System (AMS), which allows the 3D printer to switch between 4 different filament types during the print. This enables multi-color printing, automatic switching when one roll is depleted, or using special breakaway support material. The AMS is an add-on unit that can be purchased separately for the Bambu Lab X1-Carbon, P1P, or P1S, but the X1-Carbon Combo bundles the X1-Carbon and AMS for a lower price.\n\nThe X1-Carbon has a slightly above-average print volume of 256 x 256 x 256 mm (10\" x 10\" x 10\") and features a direct drive extruder with an all-metal hot end and a hardened steel nozzle, enabling it to print all available filament types. Its CoreXY motion system and advanced firmware features such as pressure advance and vibration compensation allow it to attain print speeds of up to 500 mm/s while maintaining high print quality. \n\nOne differentiating feature of the Bambu Lab X1-Carbon is the Lidar sensor, which allows it to precisely measure the height of the first layer of the print. This serves as an additional bed leveling calibration tool, but also enables the X1-Carbon to analyze the flow rate of the filament, allowing it to automatically calibrate its extrusion parameters for different filament types. This is a feature we haven't seen on any other consumer FDM 3D printer. In addition, a camera in the build chamber uses AI image processing to detect failed prints.\n\nThe X1-Carbon has an integrated 5\" touchscreen controller, but can also be controlled wirelessly with the Bambu Studio computer application or the Bambu Handy phone app. The apps allow you to remotely monitor and control the X1-Carbon. Files can be loaded wirelessly from the Bambu Studio app, or by using a microSD card.\n\nThe downsides to the Bambu Lab X1-Carbon are its high price and lack of third-party repair parts. The MSRP of the X1-Carbon is higher than many other 3D printers with comparable key specifications, making it a premium option for buyers who prioritize ease of use and advanced features over affordability. And because of its automated calibration features and custom design, almost all repair parts are sold only by Bambu Lab. Although there is a wide range of repair parts available on Bambu Lab's site, this does mean that the longevity of the X1-Carbon is dependent on Bambu Lab's continued support of the machine.\n\nOur overall take on the Bambu Lab X1-Carbon is that its advanced printing capabilities and ease-of-use features make it an excellent option for users who are willing to pay a premium price for one of the highest-end FDM 3D printers currently available. But for users who are just getting started with 3D printing and want to stick to a lower budget, there are other machines which provide excellent print quality at a much lower price.","Include In Compare":true,"Link Text":"Check Price on Matterhackers","Technology":"FDM","Max Speed":500,"Bed":["recINXQYZHrSJI98T"],"Extruder Model":["recBH4XoMGhH8unvp"],"Max Hotend Temp (Printer)":300,"Assembly Time (Minutes)":15,"Has bed levelling (data entry)":true,"include on 3dpros":true,"Brand":["recmvePjiAHxb0iRw"],"ProsDB":["recxGC4PnZaJoZc8G","recRvE82rtBL90JT4","rec7Lz58GrXMXVx8D","recle5DYwMmcmtIm2","recrx0dVLiW8rcg0w","recNZNVUzclb8l6oJ","recYagsRp6MdvRAMd","rece5Hr0qaZfhBtqL","recNJdNmsMtEBfJ7I","recZzEdgrUOyBFZE8","recTIbbSC2haHU1JX","recLeP1wufw6R9pW0","recP5Us7sLba7gX2w","recxYamPDLrbqrSzM","recdGcGvnkyapNcuy"],"ConsDB":["recjNHHILHMxsNTiZ","rec2GfrQk2BEBUKdY"],"GeniusLink_CE_override":"https://geni.us/ce_bambu_carbon_combo","Release Quarter":"Q3","Enclosure":true,"AccessoriesDB":["recqsL4JWzCD6msl8"],"SEO description":"The Bambu Lab X1-Carbon is a high-end 3D printer with fast print speeds, enclosed build chamber, automated calibration, and multi-color printing capability.

By separating the movement of the print head from the movement of the build plate, the CoreXY system is able to avoid the added weight and momentum of a moving build plate. This results in less vibration and better control of the print head, allowing for faster and more precise movements. Additionally, the CoreXY system can print at higher speeds compared to H-bot systems because it only needs to move one motor for each axis of movement, reducing the overall weight and inertia of the system.","A dual gear extruder grips filament from both sides and can exert much more force on the filament before slipping.

It uses a direct-drive extruder and a new high-flow hotend design to allow for faster print speeds. The K1C also uses a CoreXY motion system, which allows for more precise movement at higher speeds than the standard Cartesian system that is found on most other Creality 3D printers. These changes make the Creality K1C capable of extremely high print speeds--potentially up to 600 mm/s. The K1C also adds some new features not seen in its predecessor the K1, including an all-metal hot-end which allows for printing more materials such as nylon and carbon fiber, quick swap nozzle system, an active carbon filter, and a camera with AI issue detection for spotting failed prints.\n\nLike the K1, the K1C runs a modified version of Klipper, which is a high-performance 3D printer firmware popular with the 3D printing community that allows for faster processing of gcode for more precise printing.\n\nThe Creality K1 is Creality's continuation of their prescence in the high end market with brands like Bambu and Prusa. The mechanical design of the motion system and extruder make it capable of higher performance than their other machines, and the software features make the K1C feel more like a modern electronic product than most 3D printers on the market today. However, the price point is quite a bit higher than Creality's other offerings.","Include In Compare":true,"Link Text":"Check Price On Amazon","Technology":"FDM","Max Speed":600,"Bed":["rec9DAuRabG2627sb"],"Extruder Model":["recBH4XoMGhH8unvp"],"Max Hotend Temp (Printer)":260,"include on 3dpros":true,"Brand":["recxQnFtMyRu1hQZf"],"ProsDB":["recxGC4PnZaJoZc8G","recRvE82rtBL90JT4","recle5DYwMmcmtIm2","recrx0dVLiW8rcg0w","recNZNVUzclb8l6oJ","recYagsRp6MdvRAMd","recZzEdgrUOyBFZE8","recTIbbSC2haHU1JX","recLeP1wufw6R9pW0","recP5Us7sLba7gX2w","recxYamPDLrbqrSzM"],"ConsDB":["recjNHHILHMxsNTiZ"],"pick":true,"UI Type":"Full Color Touch Screen","Wifi":"Yes","image on imagekit":true,"image link":"https://ik.imagekit.io/3dpros/PrintersDB/K1C","Link location":"Amazon","Hotend Type":["All-Metal"],"Touch screen":1,"Quiet Motors":[true],"Build Volume mm":"220 x 220 x 250 mm","Size mm":"428 x 428 x 567 mm","Max Nozzle Temp":[300],"Mainboard Text":["4.3.1"],"Manufacturer":["Creality"],"imageKit Name":"K1C","image link (generated)":"https://ik.imagekit.io/3dpros/PrintersDB/K1C","ImageText":"https://ik.imagekit.io/3dpros/PrintersDB/K1C","ABL":1,"MetalExtruder":1,"MetalHotend":1,"DirectDrive":1,"MeanwellPsu":0,"X_":[220],"Y_":[220],"Bed Type":"PEI Spring Steel","Bed Info Link":"https://www.crealityexperts.com/bed-material-comparison#PEI%20Spring%20Steel","Extruder Model Text":["Direct Drive"],"Hot-End Name":["All-Metal"],"ImageText copy":"https://dl.airtable.com/.attachments/372ce48de8e5eae87f27299dd12a0b13/e5e90e7c/K1C","creation date":"2024-01-25T05:45:35.000Z","airtable image url":"K1C (https://dl.airtable.com/.attachments/372ce48de8e5eae87f27299dd12a0b13/e5e90e7c/K1C)","Brand Pros":["Large online community","Repair parts are widely available and standard"],"Brand Cons":["Limited manufacturer support"],"ProsDetails":["Many 3D printer features relate to the version of the mainboard and firmware, including features like resuming prints after a power failure and support for silent stepper motor drivers for quieter printing. Newer boards also include safety features like thermal runaway protection which shuts the printer down if it detects issues with overheating.","auto bed leveling will ensure your prints have perfect first layers every time and greatly reduce issues with bed adhesion. When using an auto-leveling system, the probe allows better tolerances for slightly warped print beds by measuring and compensating for any inconsistencies. Without this feature, you'll need to adjust the bed level manually using nuts on each corner of the print bed.","having a touch screen isn't a deal-maker or breaker, but it is a convenient feature that makes it easier to navigate the interface when you are printing files and configuring 3D printing settings. ","This printer is known for using the highest quality components, and prioritizes this over providing a lower price point on their printers.","This 3D printer is shipped completely assembled, and is ready to plug in and start using as soon as you unbox it. You will still need to follow the included calibration procedures, but this will not take a significant amount of time.","Direct drive extruders are mounted right above the hot end, and push the filament directly into it, as opposed to a side mounted bowden extruder setup. We prefer direct drive extruders to bowden since they are less prone to jamming and typically require less maintenance. they also are much easier to use with flexible materials","In addition to the standard USB and SD card connections, you can connect wirelessly to this printer to print from your computer or mobile device. ","An all-metal hot end allows for printing at high temperatures up to 300C, while standard hot ends are capped at 260C before the PTFE material begins to degrade. All-metal hot ends are also less susceptible to jamming, and do not degrade as fast.","A CoreXY 3D printer kinematic system uses two stationary motors to move the print head in the X and Y directions, resulting in faster and more precise movements compared to traditional printers. By separating the movement of the print head from the movement of the build plate, the CoreXY system is able to avoid the added weight and momentum of a moving build plate. This results in less vibration and better control of the print head, allowing for faster and more precise movements. Additionally, the CoreXY system can print at higher speeds compared to H-bot systems because it only needs to move one motor for each axis of movement, reducing the overall weight and inertia of the system.","An enclosure seals air around the print area. This holds warm, still air around the print area and is essential for printing temperature-sensitive materials like ABS. Enclosures also prevent particulates and gasses from being emitted into the surrounding area, increasing safety. They also greatly reduce printer noise.","A dual gear extruder grips filament from both sides and can exert much more force on the filament before slipping. It helps with all filaments but especially with flexible, slippery TPU."],"ProsNames":["Modern mainboard features","Auto bed leveling","Has touch screen","Premium components","Fully assembled","Direct drive extruder","Wireless printing","All-metal hot end","CoreXY Kinematic System","Enclosure","Dual gear extruder"],"ConsNames":["High price tag"],"ConsDetails":["While this printer includes a lot of premium features, they come with a price.

When using an auto-leveling system, the probe allows better tolerances for slightly warped print beds by measuring and compensating for any inconsistencies. Without this feature, you'll need to adjust the bed level manually using nuts on each corner of the print bed.","having a touch screen isn't a deal-maker or breaker, but it is a convenient feature that makes it easier to navigate the interface when you are printing files and configuring 3D printing settings. ","This 3D printer is shipped completely assembled, and is ready to plug in and start using as soon as you unbox it. You will still need to follow the included calibration procedures, but this will not take a significant amount of time.","A larger than average build volume means that you will be able to print larger parts without the need to split them into pieces and attach them together, which is especially useful with functional parts. If you have the room for the larger footprint, we definitely recommend going with a larger 3D printer, since you can always print small parts on a larger printer.","In addition to the standard USB and SD card connections, you can connect wirelessly to this printer to print from your computer or mobile device. ","An enclosure seals air around the print area. This holds warm, still air around the print area and is essential for printing temperature-sensitive materials like ABS. Enclosures also prevent particulates and gasses from being emitted into the surrounding area, increasing safety. They also greatly reduce printer noise.","Direct drive extruders are mounted right above the hot end, and push the filament directly into it, as opposed to a side mounted bowden extruder setup. We prefer direct drive extruders to bowden since they are less prone to jamming and typically require less maintenance. they also are much easier to use with flexible materials","A CoreXY 3D printer kinematic system uses two stationary motors to move the print head in the X and Y directions, resulting in faster and more precise movements compared to traditional printers. By separating the movement of the print head from the movement of the build plate, the CoreXY system is able to avoid the added weight and momentum of a moving build plate. This results in less vibration and better control of the print head, allowing for faster and more precise movements. Additionally, the CoreXY system can print at higher speeds compared to H-bot systems because it only needs to move one motor for each axis of movement, reducing the overall weight and inertia of the system.","Linear rails provide added stability to the moving parts of the printer, allowing higher printing speeds without sacrificing quality. Keep in mind that the most important factor to consider when optimizing for print speed is the flow rate of filament, which depends on the hot end and nozzle size moreso than the motion system.

Founded in 2011, Flashforge, the first Chinese manufacturer of 3D printers, has continually expanded its offerings to include not only consumer-level printers but also models suited for educational, professional, and industrial purposes. Their products are characterized by fully enclosed designs that deviate from the typical open-frame models seen in some competitors. The brand has made a name for itself with its focus on user-friendly features such as automatic filament feeding, dual extrusion capabilities, WiFi connectivity, large touchscreens, and cloud printing. These advanced features, combined with their fully enclosed structures, position Flashforge printers as more than just tools, but as integral, user-friendly appliances in the home or professional setting.\n\nDespite their broad appeal, Flashforge faces criticism for not fully embracing the open-source movement, resulting in proprietary parts that can limit compatibility with generic components. This aspect can be a drawback for users who seek to upgrade their printers with third-party parts or who require standard-sized filament spools, as Flashforge's automatic filament feeder system is designed for narrower, brand-specific spools. However, the company offsets these limitations by offering lifetime technical support and maintaining a robust online presence, including a substantial following on social media platforms like Facebook. This support, coupled with their focus on producing printers that are quiet, enclosed, and automated, cements Flashforge’s status as a brand dedicated to creating accessible, high-quality 3D printing experiences, especially for those new to the field.\n\n"],"Brand Synopsis":["Flashforge, a prominent brand in the 3D printing industry since 2011, offers a range of mid to high-priced printers renowned for their beginner-friendly design and advanced features.

Founded in 2011, Flashforge, the first Chinese manufacturer of 3D printers, has continually expanded its offerings to include not only consumer-level printers but also models suited for educational, professional, and industrial purposes. Their products are characterized by fully enclosed designs that deviate from the typical open-frame models seen in some competitors. The brand has made a name for itself with its focus on user-friendly features such as automatic filament feeding, dual extrusion capabilities, WiFi connectivity, large touchscreens, and cloud printing. These advanced features, combined with their fully enclosed structures, position Flashforge printers as more than just tools, but as integral, user-friendly appliances in the home or professional setting.\n\nDespite their broad appeal, Flashforge faces criticism for not fully embracing the open-source movement, resulting in proprietary parts that can limit compatibility with generic components. This aspect can be a drawback for users who seek to upgrade their printers with third-party parts or who require standard-sized filament spools, as Flashforge's automatic filament feeder system is designed for narrower, brand-specific spools. However, the company offsets these limitations by offering lifetime technical support and maintaining a robust online presence, including a substantial following on social media platforms like Facebook. This support, coupled with their focus on producing printers that are quiet, enclosed, and automated, cements Flashforge’s status as a brand dedicated to creating accessible, high-quality 3D printing experiences, especially for those new to the field.\n\n"],"Brand Synopsis":["Flashforge, a prominent brand in the 3D printing industry since 2011, offers a range of mid to high-priced printers renowned for their beginner-friendly design and advanced features.

The bed leveling on this printer needs to be adjusted manually using nuts on each corner of the print bed. Additionally, the Ender 2 Pro has a smaller build volume compared to other Creality 3D printers, limiting the size of objects that can be printed. Despite these limitations, the compact size of the printer makes it easy to fit on a desk and highly portable.\n\nIt is important to note that the Ender 2 Pro was released in 2021 and does not have a newer model superseding it at the moment.","Include In Compare":true,"Link Text":"Check Price on Amazon","Tested Ourselves":true,"Technology":"FDM","Max Speed":100,"Bed":["recOQW24mPsEsXkbP"],"Extruder Model":["recxBKYwuCc7bkat7"],"include on 3dpros":true,"Brand":["recxQnFtMyRu1hQZf"],"ProsDB":["reci00pkIZ2QBskaa","recpDNpGVB8c9Wy9Z"],"ConsDB":["recSEsxLcjpTgQgOh","recURwstmRsSiIVF1"],"Release Quarter":"","SEO description":"The Creality Ender 2 Pro is an affordable 3D printer with a compact size and easy assembly.

It has an enormous 350 X 350 X 345mm build volume in an all metal open frame chassis - enclosure panels are optional. It uses a Core XY mechanism but has 4 Z motors with belts to raise and lower the gantry, with the bed remaining fixed to the bottom to lower the center of gravity and increase stability. This allows it to have a potential top print speed of 700 mm/s with 40,000 mm/s2 acceleration.\n\nIt has a Klipper-powered mainboard which makes its underwhelming monochrome LCD knob-controlled display irrelevant because it can be controlled over a wired or wireless network. An HDMI port allows the addition of a large touchscreen. There are also two USB-A ports for loading files or adding a camera, although it does come with its own 1920 X 1080 camera. All axes use linear rails - 4 Z axes, 2 Y axes and 1 X axis. Bed leveling is by induction probe and sped up with Klipper's KAMP which only measures a bed mesh where you will be printing. Z offset is set by pressing the nozzle on a steel pad in a module at the rear of the printer. This module also houses a silicone nozzle wiper. The removable PEI print bed is heated up to 100°C by a very fast AC powered heater. The proprietary all-metal hotend gets up to 300°C with its ceramic heater.\n\nThere's an accelerometer built into the print head for input shaping and linear advance is also implemented in the firmware. Part cooling has to be extreme to keep up with this speed and an unusually large 5020 (50mm diameter, 20mm thick) blower fan handles this with a duct directing the air onto 3 sides of the print while an auxiliary 4010 blower fan blows onto the print from the back. But this much cooling is always going to be noisy and the loud mainboard fan constantly at full speed adds to this, making this a very loud printer.","Technology":"FDM","Max Speed":700,"amazon link":"","Brand":["recwntNXgloaB6X1g"],"ProsDB":["recxGC4PnZaJoZc8G","recRvE82rtBL90JT4","recpDNpGVB8c9Wy9Z","recYagsRp6MdvRAMd","rece5Hr0qaZfhBtqL","recnoDc0wAUvDYs3C","recZzEdgrUOyBFZE8","recdGcGvnkyapNcuy","recTIbbSC2haHU1JX","recLeP1wufw6R9pW0","recxYamPDLrbqrSzM","recP5Us7sLba7gX2w"],"needs Details":true,"UI Type":"Monochrome LCD with Knob Control","Wifi":"Yes","Data Entry Notes":"No Amazon link yet.\nChassis is open frame but fully enclosed with optional enclosure.\nCooling fan type is both front mount and back mount: 2 fans, check description.\nEnclosure is optional.","Entered by":"Mark","image on imagekit":true,"image link":"https://ik.imagekit.io/3dpros/PrintersDB/Sovol_SV08","Touch screen":0,"Build Volume mm":"350 x 350 x 345 mm","Size mm":"550 x 537 x 575 mm","Manufacturer":["Sovol"],"imageKit Name":"Sovol_SV08","image link (generated)":"https://ik.imagekit.io/3dpros/PrintersDB/Sovol_SV08","ImageText":"https://ik.imagekit.io/3dpros/PrintersDB/Sovol_SV08","ABL":1,"MetalExtruder":1,"DirectDrive":1,"MeanwellPsu":0,"ImageText copy":"https://dl.airtable.com/.directUploadAttachment/ce7ab51f271b2cda775732b79a475270/7b4fcf4f/Screenshotfrom2024-04-2322-53-18edited.png","creation date":"2024-04-25T01:44:12.000Z","airtable image url":"Screenshot from 2024-04-23 22-53-18 edited.png (https://dl.airtable.com/.directUploadAttachment/ce7ab51f271b2cda775732b79a475270/7b4fcf4f/Screenshotfrom2024-04-2322-53-18edited.png)","Brand Pros":["good value for features included","Diverse range of 3D printers catering to different user types and skill levels"],"Brand Cons":["poor quality control has led to quality issues on some models","Small online community"],"ProsDetails":["Many 3D printer features relate to the version of the mainboard and firmware, including features like resuming prints after a power failure and support for silent stepper motor drivers for quieter printing. Newer boards also include safety features like thermal runaway protection which shuts the printer down if it detects issues with overheating.","auto bed leveling will ensure your prints have perfect first layers every time and greatly reduce issues with bed adhesion. When using an auto-leveling system, the probe allows better tolerances for slightly warped print beds by measuring and compensating for any inconsistencies. Without this feature, you'll need to adjust the bed level manually using nuts on each corner of the print bed.","This 3D printer is shipped with most of the parts pre-assembled, and you will only need to attach a few components and connect a couple cables in order to get the machine ready to print.","Direct drive extruders are mounted right above the hot end, and push the filament directly into it, as opposed to a side mounted bowden extruder setup. We prefer direct drive extruders to bowden since they are less prone to jamming and typically require less maintenance. they also are much easier to use with flexible materials","PEI beds are one of the more premium build surface options, and for good reason. They offer great first layer adhesion with no spraysor other treatments, and can be flexed to quickly remove parts. You'll need to clean the bed with a solvent like acetone or IPA every so often to maintain the bed's adhesion.","This printer has one of the largest build volumes in the consumer market, and will provide the most options in terms of printing large parts. While this can be very useful for certain applications, the large footprint of these machines makes them hard to fit on a desk, so we only recommend going with a 3D printer of this size if you really need it","In addition to the standard USB and SD card connections, you can connect wirelessly to this printer to print from your computer or mobile device. ","Linear rails provide added stability to the moving parts of the printer, allowing higher printing speeds without sacrificing quality. Keep in mind that the most important factor to consider when optimizing for print speed is the flow rate of filament, which depends on the hot end and nozzle size moreso than the motion system. ","An all-metal hot end allows for printing at high temperatures up to 300C, while standard hot ends are capped at 260C before the PTFE material begins to degrade. All-metal hot ends are also less susceptible to jamming, and do not degrade as fast.","A CoreXY 3D printer kinematic system uses two stationary motors to move the print head in the X and Y directions, resulting in faster and more precise movements compared to traditional printers. By separating the movement of the print head from the movement of the build plate, the CoreXY system is able to avoid the added weight and momentum of a moving build plate. This results in less vibration and better control of the print head, allowing for faster and more precise movements. Additionally, the CoreXY system can print at higher speeds compared to H-bot systems because it only needs to move one motor for each axis of movement, reducing the overall weight and inertia of the system.","A dual gear extruder grips filament from both sides and can exert much more force on the filament before slipping. It helps with all filaments but especially with flexible, slippery TPU.","An enclosure seals air around the print area. This holds warm, still air around the print area and is essential for printing temperature-sensitive materials like ABS. Enclosures also prevent particulates and gasses from being emitted into the surrounding area, increasing safety. They also greatly reduce printer noise."],"ProsNames":["Modern mainboard features","Auto bed leveling","Easy to assemble","Direct drive extruder","PEI build surface has good balance of adhesion and part removal","Huge build volume","Wireless printing","Linear rail motion system","All-metal hot end","CoreXY Kinematic System","Dual gear extruder","Enclosure"],"Brand Summary":["Sovol is a 3D printer brand known for producing innovative printers with more features than their competitors at a lower price.

You will still need to follow the included calibration procedures, but this will not take a significant amount of time.","Direct drive extruders are mounted right above the hot end, and push the filament directly into it, as opposed to a side mounted bowden extruder setup. We prefer direct drive extruders to bowden since they are less prone to jamming and typically require less maintenance. they also are much easier to use with flexible materials","PEI beds are one of the more premium build surface options, and for good reason. They offer great first layer adhesion with no spraysor other treatments, and can be flexed to quickly remove parts. You'll need to clean the bed with a solvent like acetone or IPA every so often to maintain the bed's adhesion.","In addition to the standard USB and SD card connections, you can connect wirelessly to this printer to print from your computer or mobile device. ","An all-metal hot end allows for printing at high temperatures up to 300C, while standard hot ends are capped at 260C before the PTFE material begins to degrade. All-metal hot ends are also less susceptible to jamming, and do not degrade as fast.","A CoreXY 3D printer kinematic system uses two stationary motors to move the print head in the X and Y directions, resulting in faster and more precise movements compared to traditional printers. By separating the movement of the print head from the movement of the build plate, the CoreXY system is able to avoid the added weight and momentum of a moving build plate. This results in less vibration and better control of the print head, allowing for faster and more precise movements. Additionally, the CoreXY system can print at higher speeds compared to H-bot systems because it only needs to move one motor for each axis of movement, reducing the overall weight and inertia of the system.","An enclosure seals air around the print area. This holds warm, still air around the print area and is essential for printing temperature-sensitive materials like ABS. Enclosures also prevent particulates and gasses from being emitted into the surrounding area, increasing safety. They also greatly reduce printer noise.","A dual gear extruder grips filament from both sides and can exert much more force on the filament before slipping. It helps with all filaments but especially with flexible, slippery TPU."],"ProsNames":["Has touch screen","Premium components","Fully assembled","Direct drive extruder","PEI build surface has good balance of adhesion and part removal","Wireless printing","All-metal hot end","CoreXY Kinematic System","Enclosure","Dual gear extruder"],"ConsNames":["Manual bed levelling","High price tag"],"ConsDetails":["This printer requires you to to adjust the bed level manually using nuts on each corner of the print bed.

","Linear rails provide added stability to the moving parts of the printer, allowing higher printing speeds without sacrificing quality. Keep in mind that the most important factor to consider when optimizing for print speed is the flow rate of filament, which depends on the hot end and nozzle size moreso than the motion system. ","A CoreXY 3D printer kinematic system uses two stationary motors to move the print head in the X and Y directions, resulting in faster and more precise movements compared to traditional printers. By separating the movement of the print head from the movement of the build plate, the CoreXY system is able to avoid the added weight and momentum of a moving build plate. This results in less vibration and better control of the print head, allowing for faster and more precise movements. Additionally, the CoreXY system can print at higher speeds compared to H-bot systems because it only needs to move one motor for each axis of movement, reducing the overall weight and inertia of the system.","An enclosure seals air around the print area.

Founded in 2011, Flashforge, the first Chinese manufacturer of 3D printers, has continually expanded its offerings to include not only consumer-level printers but also models suited for educational, professional, and industrial purposes. Their products are characterized by fully enclosed designs that deviate from the typical open-frame models seen in some competitors. The brand has made a name for itself with its focus on user-friendly features such as automatic filament feeding, dual extrusion capabilities, WiFi connectivity, large touchscreens, and cloud printing. These advanced features, combined with their fully enclosed structures, position Flashforge printers as more than just tools, but as integral, user-friendly appliances in the home or professional setting.\n\nDespite their broad appeal, Flashforge faces criticism for not fully embracing the open-source movement, resulting in proprietary parts that can limit compatibility with generic components. This aspect can be a drawback for users who seek to upgrade their printers with third-party parts or who require standard-sized filament spools, as Flashforge's automatic filament feeder system is designed for narrower, brand-specific spools. However, the company offsets these limitations by offering lifetime technical support and maintaining a robust online presence, including a substantial following on social media platforms like Facebook. This support, coupled with their focus on producing printers that are quiet, enclosed, and automated, cements Flashforge’s status as a brand dedicated to creating accessible, high-quality 3D printing experiences, especially for those new to the field.\n\n"],"Brand Synopsis":["Flashforge, a prominent brand in the 3D printing industry since 2011, offers a range of mid to high-priced printers renowned for their beginner-friendly design and advanced features.

The direct drive extruder of the MK4 incorporates a Nextruder Planetary Gear System (10:1 gearbox ratio) for increased precision and performance.\n\nAlthough the blower-style fan is not a new feature, it continues to provide effective part cooling for better quality overhangs. The MK4 also simplifies filament feeding with a fully automated process, removing the need to navigate the user interface. Additionally, the user experience is enhanced with a 3.5-inch touchscreen interface, an improvement over the MK3S+'s.\n\nConnectivity options in the MK4 have been expanded to include USB, SD card, Ethernet, and optional Wi-Fi support. The Prusa community continues to provide resources, troubleshooting tips, and user-created upgrades.\n\nNote: As of April 17, 2024, Prusa has released a new version of firmware for the MK4 and other models that adds capability to the printer without the need for any hardware changes or upgrades. A feature was improved that allows users to cancel a single object on a print job that contains several different objects, which is useful to partially salvage a multi-object print if one happens to come loose during printing. The printer also now can be used in “Stealth Mode”, which will adjust parameters to create less noise while taking slightly longer to complete the print. In the extruder, a detection parameter was added to determine if filament is stuck, which is again very useful to catch this failure early on and avoid making a mess or damaging hardware. The biggest update, however, is the fact that the MK4 is now touch screen enabled. Prusa included touchscreen hardware in the printer from the very beginning, but did not make that capability a priority in development. This should make navigating the printer’s menus quicker and more user friendly, which was previously a huge drawback of the MK4’s display. \n","Include In Compare":true,"Link Text":"Check Price on Prusa3D.com","Technology":"FDM","Max Speed":200,"Bed":["recZ3TDkDCCJTDbua"],"Extruder Model":["recuQKAxmPh0eZxTc"],"include on 3dpros":true,"Brand":["recgRkIV6p2ELFOIH"],"ProsDB":["rec7Lz58GrXMXVx8D","recxGC4PnZaJoZc8G","recrx0dVLiW8rcg0w","recYagsRp6MdvRAMd","recZzEdgrUOyBFZE8"],"ConsDB":["reci9IKtw1yeHjV5z","recjNHHILHMxsNTiZ"],"Review Summary":"

This is an advantage over standard hot ends, which are typically capped at 260°C before the PTFE material begins to degrade. The all-metal hot end also reduces the risk of jamming and degradation.\n\nThe Ender 3 S1 Pro features a single-body chassis similar to the Ender 3 series, but with notable upgrades. It has a direct drive extrusion system, which is more reliable and requires less maintenance compared to side-mounted bowden extruders. The printer also includes an updated touch screen and a built-in LED light bar. However, it's important to note that the Ender 3 S1 Pro comes with a higher price tag compared to other consumer printers. While it offers premium features such as auto bed leveling and an all-metal hot end, these features may not be necessary for all users. Therefore, it's important to consider whether the additional cost is worth the added benefits. Overall, the Creality Ender 3 S1 Pro is a capable 3D printer with advanced features, but potential buyers should weigh the cost against their specific needs and budget.","Include In Compare":true,"Link Text":"Check Price on Amazon","Technology":"FDM","Max Speed":150,"Bed":["rec9DAuRabG2627sb"],"Extruder Model":["recGtH7Q2ZNJZQtN9"],"include on 3dpros":true,"Brand":["recxQnFtMyRu1hQZf"],"ProsDB":["recRvE82rtBL90JT4","recxGC4PnZaJoZc8G","recYagsRp6MdvRAMd","recTIbbSC2haHU1JX"],"ConsDB":["recjNHHILHMxsNTiZ"],"Superseded by":["recvZaclEHBkiENfT"],"Release Quarter":"","SEO description":"The Creality Ender 3 S1 Pro is a high-performance 3D printer with auto bed leveling, all-metal hot end, and direct drive extrusion system.

","A CoreXY 3D printer kinematic system uses two stationary motors to move the print head in the X and Y directions, resulting in faster and more precise movements compared to traditional printers. By separating the movement of the print head from the movement of the build plate, the CoreXY system is able to avoid the added weight and momentum of a moving build plate. This results in less vibration and better control of the print head, allowing for faster and more precise movements. Additionally, the CoreXY system can print at higher speeds compared to H-bot systems because it only needs to move one motor for each axis of movement, reducing the overall weight and inertia of the system.","An enclosure seals air around the print area. This holds warm, still air around the print area and is essential for printing temperature-sensitive materials like ABS. Enclosures also prevent particulates and gasses from being emitted into the surrounding area, increasing safety.

Founded in 2011, Flashforge, the first Chinese manufacturer of 3D printers, has continually expanded its offerings to include not only consumer-level printers but also models suited for educational, professional, and industrial purposes. Their products are characterized by fully enclosed designs that deviate from the typical open-frame models seen in some competitors. The brand has made a name for itself with its focus on user-friendly features such as automatic filament feeding, dual extrusion capabilities, WiFi connectivity, large touchscreens, and cloud printing. These advanced features, combined with their fully enclosed structures, position Flashforge printers as more than just tools, but as integral, user-friendly appliances in the home or professional setting.\n\nDespite their broad appeal, Flashforge faces criticism for not fully embracing the open-source movement, resulting in proprietary parts that can limit compatibility with generic components. This aspect can be a drawback for users who seek to upgrade their printers with third-party parts or who require standard-sized filament spools, as Flashforge's automatic filament feeder system is designed for narrower, brand-specific spools. However, the company offsets these limitations by offering lifetime technical support and maintaining a robust online presence, including a substantial following on social media platforms like Facebook. This support, coupled with their focus on producing printers that are quiet, enclosed, and automated, cements Flashforge’s status as a brand dedicated to creating accessible, high-quality 3D printing experiences, especially for those new to the field.\n\n"],"Brand Synopsis":["Flashforge, a prominent brand in the 3D printing industry since 2011, offers a range of mid to high-priced printers renowned for their beginner-friendly design and advanced features.

With a generous build area of 300 x 300 x 410 mm, it allows users to create sizable 3D prints, making it suitable for projects that demand larger dimensions. The printer features a sturdy aluminum open enclosure with delta kinematics that enhances stability during the printing process, contributing to accurate and reliable prints. Additionally, the FLSUN V400’s precise direct drive extruder supports a variety of filament materials, enabling users to experiment with different materials and achieve diverse results.\n\nThe FLSun V400 comes with everything you need to get started: tools to build and maintain the printer, side cutters, a nozzle cleaner, grease, a dusting brush, and a USB drive. You also get a spare thermistor, heating rod, short-length of PTFE tube, and 200g of filament. There’s a paper copy of the user manual and the USB drive has three video guides if you need additional help. The USB drive also has a copy of Cura 4.13.1, a standard profile, and several pre-sliced models for testing. In draft mode, the printer can eat through filament in a fraction of the time needed for a standard printer and the prints it produces at speed are of excellent quality.\n\nAs impressive as this printer is, it’s not exactly perfect. The build quality has a few minor issues, such as the channel covers not snapping into place and the spool holder appears to be an afterthought. There’s a harsh metal edge that drags along the inside of the spool and puts a strain on the direct drive’s motor. These are small things, but when you’re talking about a more expensive printer you’d hope the small things are covered, such as the addition of a replacement nozzle.\n\nEquipped with a user-friendly interface and various connectivity options, including USB and SD card, the FLSUN V400 offers flexibility in file transfer and printing. The printer is praised for its affordability considering its large build volume and easy assembly, making it an attractive option for those seeking a cost-effective solution for large-scale 3D printing projects.","Technology":"FDM","Max Speed":600,"amazon link":"https://www.amazon.com/FLSUN-V400-Printing-Printers-%CE%A6300x410mm/dp/B0BN9NKTFF","include on 3dpros":true,"Brand":["recxSGXG0Po19ZfFE"],"ProsDB":["recxGC4PnZaJoZc8G","recTIbbSC2haHU1JX","recle5DYwMmcmtIm2","recpDNpGVB8c9Wy9Z","recYagsRp6MdvRAMd","recNJdNmsMtEBfJ7I","recZzEdgrUOyBFZE8","recxYamPDLrbqrSzM"],"scriptTest":"200","Representative":true,"UI Type":"Full Color Touch Screen","Wifi":"Yes","Data Entry Notes":"Klipper firmware is pre-installed.","Entered by":"Gary","image on imagekit":true,"image link":"https://ik.imagekit.io/3dpros/PrintersDB/FLSun_V400","Touch screen":1,"Build Volume mm":"300 x 300 x 410 mm","Size mm":"483 x 406 x 1143 mm","Manufacturer":["FLSun"],"imageKit Name":"FLSun_V400","image link (generated)":"https://ik.imagekit.io/3dpros/PrintersDB/FLSun_V400","ImageText":"https://ik.imagekit.io/3dpros/PrintersDB/FLSun_V400","ABL":1,"MetalExtruder":1,"DirectDrive":1,"MeanwellPsu":0,"ImageText copy":"https://dl.airtable.com/.attachments/7521d41f6c5fab6eba053b9b3bed6a14/d2863b3c/FLSUNV400.png","creation date":"2024-02-02T02:21:21.000Z","airtable image url":"FLSUN V400.png (https://dl.airtable.com/.attachments/7521d41f6c5fab6eba053b9b3bed6a14/d2863b3c/FLSUNV400.png)","ProsDetails":["Many 3D printer features relate to the version of the mainboard and firmware, including features like resuming prints after a power failure and support for silent stepper motor drivers for quieter printing.

","This 3D printer is shipped completely assembled, and is ready to plug in and start using as soon as you unbox it. You will still need to follow the included calibration procedures, but this will not take a significant amount of time.","Direct drive extruders are mounted right above the hot end, and push the filament directly into it, as opposed to a side mounted bowden extruder setup. We prefer direct drive extruders to bowden since they are less prone to jamming and typically require less maintenance. they also are much easier to use with flexible materials","This printer does not include a lot of frills, but offers a good experience for a low price point. While this low price means you won't be getting the most premium features, you can still get a lot out of these machines if you are willing to put up with some missing quality of life features.","Linear rails provide added stability to the moving parts of the printer, allowing higher printing speeds without sacrificing quality. Keep in mind that the most important factor to consider when optimizing for print speed is the flow rate of filament, which depends on the hot end and nozzle size moreso than the motion system. ","A CoreXY 3D printer kinematic system uses two stationary motors to move the print head in the X and Y directions, resulting in faster and more precise movements compared to traditional printers. By separating the movement of the print head from the movement of the build plate, the CoreXY system is able to avoid the added weight and momentum of a moving build plate. This results in less vibration and better control of the print head, allowing for faster and more precise movements. Additionally, the CoreXY system can print at higher speeds compared to H-bot systems because it only needs to move one motor for each axis of movement, reducing the overall weight and inertia of the system.","An enclosure seals air around the print area. This holds warm, still air around the print area and is essential for printing temperature-sensitive materials like ABS. Enclosures also prevent particulates and gasses from being emitted into the surrounding area, increasing safety.

It’s mostly a straight continuation of the preceding Artillery Genius with some added quality-of-life hardware like stock auto bed-leveling and Artillery’s new 32-bit in-house “Ruby” mainboard. Also, importantly, dramatically improved cabling with pre-installed strain relief and metal Z-carriages. The Genius Pro also includes a filament sensor and power-loss print recovery. The printer uses a direct Titan-style extruder with a cloned Volcano nozzle that can keep up when printing at high speeds.\n \nClean cabling also serves the printer’s quality aesthetics and is one way the Genius Pro has improved on its previous iteration. The Genius Pro is missing a few features, however, key among them being belt tensioners. They have consistently suffered from poor thermal uniformity across Artillery’s products, and the issue is compounded by the surface itself being adhered to its heat pad — making it difficult to both clean and replace. To remove these glass tops, you need to heat the bed and peel the padding off.\n\nOn another note, the leveling and slicer sections of the manual fail to instruct users to enable the printer’s auto-leveling with start G-code. Since Artillery instructs users to select the previous Genius model’s slicer profile in Cura, users need to add a line reading M420 S1 Z10 following the line with G28 in machine settings. Artillery didn’t include these instructions in the manual.","Technology":"FDM","Max Speed":250,"amazon link":"https://www.amazon.com/Artillery-Ultra-Quiet-High-Precision-Integrity-Filament/dp/B084MGYMR8","include on 3dpros":true,"Brand":["recru7CeAKGj8uaJ9"],"ProsDB":["recxGC4PnZaJoZc8G","recle5DYwMmcmtIm2","recpDNpGVB8c9Wy9Z","recYagsRp6MdvRAMd","recRvE82rtBL90JT4"],"scriptTest":"200","UI Type":"Full Color Touch Screen","Wifi":"No","Entered by":"Gary","image on imagekit":true,"image link":"https://ik.imagekit.io/3dpros/PrintersDB/Artillery_Genius_Pro","Touch screen":1,"Build Volume mm":"220 x 220 x 250 mm","Size mm":"430 x 390 x 590 mm","Manufacturer":["Artillery"],"imageKit Name":"Artillery_Genius_Pro","image link (generated)":"https://ik.imagekit.io/3dpros/PrintersDB/Artillery_Genius_Pro","ImageText":"https://ik.imagekit.io/3dpros/PrintersDB/Artillery_Genius_Pro","ABL":1,"MetalExtruder":0,"DirectDrive":1,"MeanwellPsu":0,"ImageText copy":"https://dl.airtable.com/.attachments/bfa7a4e85ef03f40601bb7787c85f489/2efeea11/ArtilleryGeniusPro.png","creation date":"2024-02-06T18:25:16.000Z","airtable image url":"Artillery Genius Pro.png (https://dl.airtable.com/.attachments/bfa7a4e85ef03f40601bb7787c85f489/2efeea11/ArtilleryGeniusPro.png)","Brand Pros":["Good support from the manufacturer","Top quality parts and manufacturing processes","good value for features included","Printer designs are polished and sleek"],"Brand Cons":["Small online community"],"ProsDetails":["Many 3D printer features relate to the version of the mainboard and firmware, including features like resuming prints after a power failure and support for silent stepper motor drivers for quieter printing.

You will still need to follow the included calibration procedures, but this will not take a significant amount of time.","Direct drive extruders are mounted right above the hot end, and push the filament directly into it, as opposed to a side mounted bowden extruder setup. We prefer direct drive extruders to bowden since they are less prone to jamming and typically require less maintenance. they also are much easier to use with flexible materials","PEI beds are one of the more premium build surface options, and for good reason. They offer great first layer adhesion with no spraysor other treatments, and can be flexed to quickly remove parts. You'll need to clean the bed with a solvent like acetone or IPA every so often to maintain the bed's adhesion.","In addition to the standard USB and SD card connections, you can connect wirelessly to this printer to print from your computer or mobile device. ","An all-metal hot end allows for printing at high temperatures up to 300C, while standard hot ends are capped at 260C before the PTFE material begins to degrade. All-metal hot ends are also less susceptible to jamming, and do not degrade as fast.","A CoreXY 3D printer kinematic system uses two stationary motors to move the print head in the X and Y directions, resulting in faster and more precise movements compared to traditional printers. By separating the movement of the print head from the movement of the build plate, the CoreXY system is able to avoid the added weight and momentum of a moving build plate. This results in less vibration and better control of the print head, allowing for faster and more precise movements. Additionally, the CoreXY system can print at higher speeds compared to H-bot systems because it only needs to move one motor for each axis of movement, reducing the overall weight and inertia of the system.","An enclosure seals air around the print area. This holds warm, still air around the print area and is essential for printing temperature-sensitive materials like ABS. Enclosures also prevent particulates and gasses from being emitted into the surrounding area, increasing safety. They also greatly reduce printer noise.","A dual gear extruder grips filament from both sides and can exert much more force on the filament before slipping. It helps with all filaments but especially with flexible, slippery TPU."],"ProsNames":["Modern mainboard features","Auto bed leveling","Large online community","Has touch screen","Premium components","Fully assembled","Direct drive extruder","PEI build surface has good balance of adhesion and part removal","Wireless printing","All-metal hot end","CoreXY Kinematic System","Enclosure","Dual gear extruder"],"ConsNames":["High price tag"],"ConsDetails":["While this printer includes a lot of premium features, they come with a price.

They offer great first layer adhesion with no spraysor other treatments, and can be flexed to quickly remove parts. You'll need to clean the bed with a solvent like acetone or IPA every so often to maintain the bed's adhesion.","Direct drive extruders are mounted right above the hot end, and push the filament directly into it, as opposed to a side mounted bowden extruder setup. We prefer direct drive extruders to bowden since they are less prone to jamming and typically require less maintenance. they also are much easier to use with flexible materials","In addition to the standard USB and SD card connections, you can connect wirelessly to this printer to print from your computer or mobile device. ","Linear rails provide added stability to the moving parts of the printer, allowing higher printing speeds without sacrificing quality. Keep in mind that the most important factor to consider when optimizing for print speed is the flow rate of filament, which depends on the hot end and nozzle size moreso than the motion system. ","A CoreXY 3D printer kinematic system uses two stationary motors to move the print head in the X and Y directions, resulting in faster and more precise movements compared to traditional printers. By separating the movement of the print head from the movement of the build plate, the CoreXY system is able to avoid the added weight and momentum of a moving build plate. This results in less vibration and better control of the print head, allowing for faster and more precise movements. Additionally, the CoreXY system can print at higher speeds compared to H-bot systems because it only needs to move one motor for each axis of movement, reducing the overall weight and inertia of the system.","An enclosure seals air around the print area. This holds warm, still air around the print area and is essential for printing temperature-sensitive materials like ABS. Enclosures also prevent particulates and gasses from being emitted into the surrounding area, increasing safety.

Founded in 2011, Flashforge, the first Chinese manufacturer of 3D printers, has continually expanded its offerings to include not only consumer-level printers but also models suited for educational, professional, and industrial purposes. Their products are characterized by fully enclosed designs that deviate from the typical open-frame models seen in some competitors. The brand has made a name for itself with its focus on user-friendly features such as automatic filament feeding, dual extrusion capabilities, WiFi connectivity, large touchscreens, and cloud printing. These advanced features, combined with their fully enclosed structures, position Flashforge printers as more than just tools, but as integral, user-friendly appliances in the home or professional setting.\n\nDespite their broad appeal, Flashforge faces criticism for not fully embracing the open-source movement, resulting in proprietary parts that can limit compatibility with generic components. This aspect can be a drawback for users who seek to upgrade their printers with third-party parts or who require standard-sized filament spools, as Flashforge's automatic filament feeder system is designed for narrower, brand-specific spools. However, the company offsets these limitations by offering lifetime technical support and maintaining a robust online presence, including a substantial following on social media platforms like Facebook. This support, coupled with their focus on producing printers that are quiet, enclosed, and automated, cements Flashforge’s status as a brand dedicated to creating accessible, high-quality 3D printing experiences, especially for those new to the field.\n\n"],"Brand Synopsis":["Flashforge, a prominent brand in the 3D printing industry since 2011, offers a range of mid to high-priced printers renowned for their beginner-friendly design and advanced features.

The KLP1 supports 500 mm/s high-speed printing with 10,000 mm/s2 acceleration. With faster printing speed comes increased vibration, however, an ADXL345 module helps compensate for the vibration, giving you smoother printing in less time. There’s also auto bed-leveling, and the CHC all-metal hot end heats up quickly and supports a max heat of 300 degrees Celsius. A 5:1 metal gear ratio includes 9500 rings 5015 bearing fan, which means the extruder, with a 0.4 mm nozzle, is better than ever and includes an improved cooling system from previous Kingroon printers.\n\nLinear rail guides on the X and Y axes aid in giving you far more accurate movements. Kingroon estimates the printer has a life of around 78,000 hours. A small holder on the back keeps the filament in place. A sensor ensures that your project stops in time for you to load more filament to continue printing. A small touchscreen lets you control the printer, or connect the printer to your network via a wired or Wi-Fi connection to control it with a Web interface on your computer or mobile device.\n\nThe magnetic plate removes easily to clean when needed. Tinted panels enclose the entire machine, with the exception of the filament spool. This keeps your project safer while printing. \n\nLittle touches like the integrated spool holder, LED light bars and removable magnetic doors streamline printing and monitoring. One of my favorite KLP1 features is the ability to fully remotely monitor and manage prints from any internet-connected device. The video camera delivers crisp footage for viewing a print's progress.","Technology":"FDM","Max Speed":500,"amazon link":"N/A","include on 3dpros":true,"Brand":["recFxRehCXDNoo4wq"],"ProsDB":["recxGC4PnZaJoZc8G","recRvE82rtBL90JT4","recle5DYwMmcmtIm2","recYagsRp6MdvRAMd","rece5Hr0qaZfhBtqL","recvpyg1I3SncE9BB","recTIbbSC2haHU1JX","recLeP1wufw6R9pW0","recP5Us7sLba7gX2w","recxYamPDLrbqrSzM"],"UI Type":"Full Color Touch Screen","Wifi":"Yes","Entered by":"Gary","image on imagekit":true,"image link":"https://ik.imagekit.io/3dpros/PrintersDB/Kingroon_KLP1_Core_XY","Touch screen":1,"Build Volume mm":"210 x 210 x 210 mm","Size mm":"400 x 420 x 420 mm","Manufacturer":["Kingroon"],"imageKit Name":"Kingroon_KLP1_Core_XY","image link (generated)":"https://ik.imagekit.io/3dpros/PrintersDB/Kingroon_KLP1_Core_XY","ImageText":"https://ik.imagekit.io/3dpros/PrintersDB/Kingroon_KLP1_Core_XY","ABL":1,"MetalExtruder":1,"DirectDrive":1,"MeanwellPsu":0,"ImageText copy":"https://dl.airtable.com/.attachments/1bd401263e3a38bf1553d697713631c6/6c77a6c8/KingroonKLP1CoreXY.png","creation date":"2024-02-06T15:50:29.000Z","airtable image url":"Kingroon KLP1 Core XY.png (https://dl.airtable.com/.attachments/1bd401263e3a38bf1553d697713631c6/6c77a6c8/KingroonKLP1CoreXY.png)","Brand Pros":["Repair parts are widely available and standard","good value for features included"],"Brand Cons":["Limited manufacturer support","Small online community","Infrequent releases of new printers"],"ProsDetails":["Many 3D printer features relate to the version of the mainboard and firmware, including features like resuming prints after a power failure and support for silent stepper motor drivers for quieter printing. Newer boards also include safety features like thermal runaway protection which shuts the printer down if it detects issues with overheating.","auto bed leveling will ensure your prints have perfect first layers every time and greatly reduce issues with bed adhesion. When using an auto-leveling system, the probe allows better tolerances for slightly warped print beds by measuring and compensating for any inconsistencies. Without this feature, you'll need to adjust the bed level manually using nuts on each corner of the print bed.","having a touch screen isn't a deal-maker or breaker, but it is a convenient feature that makes it easier to navigate the interface when you are printing files and configuring 3D printing settings. ","Direct drive extruders are mounted right above the hot end, and push the filament directly into it, as opposed to a side mounted bowden extruder setup. We prefer direct drive extruders to bowden since they are less prone to jamming and typically require less maintenance. they also are much easier to use with flexible materials","PEI beds are one of the more premium build surface options, and for good reason. They offer great first layer adhesion with no spraysor other treatments, and can be flexed to quickly remove parts. You'll need to clean the bed with a solvent like acetone or IPA every so often to maintain the bed's adhesion.","This printer does not include a lot of frills, but offers a good experience for a low price point. While this low price means you won't be getting the most premium features, you can still get a lot out of these machines if you are willing to put up with some missing quality of life features.","An all-metal hot end allows for printing at high temperatures up to 300C, while standard hot ends are capped at 260C before the PTFE material begins to degrade. All-metal hot ends are also less susceptible to jamming, and do not degrade as fast.","A CoreXY 3D printer kinematic system uses two stationary motors to move the print head in the X and Y directions, resulting in faster and more precise movements compared to traditional printers. By separating the movement of the print head from the movement of the build plate, the CoreXY system is able to avoid the added weight and momentum of a moving build plate. This results in less vibration and better control of the print head, allowing for faster and more precise movements. Additionally, the CoreXY system can print at higher speeds compared to H-bot systems because it only needs to move one motor for each axis of movement, reducing the overall weight and inertia of the system.","An enclosure seals air around the print area. This holds warm, still air around the print area and is essential for printing temperature-sensitive materials like ABS. Enclosures also prevent particulates and gasses from being emitted into the surrounding area, increasing safety. They also greatly reduce printer noise.","A dual gear extruder grips filament from both sides and can exert much more force on the filament before slipping. It helps with all filaments but especially with flexible, slippery TPU."],"ProsNames":["Modern mainboard features","Auto bed leveling","Has touch screen","Direct drive extruder","PEI build surface has good balance of adhesion and part removal","Affordable","All-metal hot end","CoreXY Kinematic System","Enclosure","Dual gear extruder"],"Brand Summary":["Founded in 2015, Kingroon focuses on creating user-friendly 3D printers at affordable prices.

If you think the time has come for traditional add-on features like touch-probe bed leveling and a 32-bit mainboard to come standard, the X2 probably has you covered. It isn’t without its problems, but they’re largely addressable with some effort.\n\nAside from a few manufacturing and aesthetic adjustments, what’s interesting about this new iteration is all the longevity and quality-of-life features included. Features that are quickly becoming a bare minimum, like a BLTouch-style auto bed leveling touch probe and roomier 32-bit mainboard, have been added as have a few fixes to problems that plagued the otherwise impressive X1, like sturdier cable connections to reduce risks of thermal and electrical hazards and injection-molded aluminum Z-axis carriages attempting to limit wobble that caused banding. Oh, and let’s not forget the much better spool holder.\n\nProbably the most important change, but also the easiest to graze over is the Sidewinder X2’s newly secure cable connections. The X1 introduced Artillery’s sleek flat cables but connected them with an incredibly flimsy port that members of the community reported breaking. The X2 fixed the problem with more robust cable support from the factory on all connections and replaced the fabric-sleeved heat plate cable – which some users reported breaking to expose the wiring – with a flat rubber-sleeved alternative with a channel in the printer’s base. All gantry connections come preassembled, so Artillery seems to have taken an extra step to see cables done right this time.\n\nUltimately, the Sidewinder X2 evolves from its predecessor, the X1 V4, in meaningful ways. Artillery listened to community feedback and improved upon the most pressing issues. It can achieve impressive detail on smaller models but, unfortunately, is plagued by even heavier Z-wobble than we experienced on the X1 and poor part cooling. Both restrict full use of the generous 300 x 300 x 400 mm build volume. That said, if you’re willing to install gantry support and a new fan vent, the X2 is a system with good bones and desirable features for $469. Not a bad place to be.","Technology":"FDM","Max Speed":150,"amazon link":"https://www.amazon.com/Artillery-Sidewinder-SW-X2-pre-Assembled-300x300x400mm/dp/B09GVTFGCZ","include on 3dpros":true,"Brand":["recru7CeAKGj8uaJ9"],"ProsDB":["recRvE82rtBL90JT4","recle5DYwMmcmtIm2","recpDNpGVB8c9Wy9Z","rec7W7KVAK8qkaMPJ","recYagsRp6MdvRAMd","recNJdNmsMtEBfJ7I","recTIbbSC2haHU1JX"],"ConsDB":["recDwbWBdulKyit0H"],"scriptTest":"200","UI Type":"Full Color Touch Screen","Wifi":"No","Data Entry Notes":"The gantry is wobbly at higher print speeds and the A/C powered print bed does not have a uniform temperature.

","Linear rails provide added stability to the moving parts of the printer, allowing higher printing speeds without sacrificing quality. Keep in mind that the most important factor to consider when optimizing for print speed is the flow rate of filament, which depends on the hot end and nozzle size moreso than the motion system. ","A CoreXY 3D printer kinematic system uses two stationary motors to move the print head in the X and Y directions, resulting in faster and more precise movements compared to traditional printers. By separating the movement of the print head from the movement of the build plate, the CoreXY system is able to avoid the added weight and momentum of a moving build plate. This results in less vibration and better control of the print head, allowing for faster and more precise movements. Additionally, the CoreXY system can print at higher speeds compared to H-bot systems because it only needs to move one motor for each axis of movement, reducing the overall weight and inertia of the system.","An enclosure seals air around the print area. This holds warm, still air around the print area and is essential for printing temperature-sensitive materials like ABS. Enclosures also prevent particulates and gasses from being emitted into the surrounding area, increasing safety. They also greatly reduce printer noise.","Direct drive extruders are mounted right above the hot end, and push the filament directly into it, as opposed to a side mounted bowden extruder setup. We prefer direct drive extruders to bowden since they are less prone to jamming and typically require less maintenance. they also are much easier to use with flexible materials","auto bed leveling will ensure your prints have perfect first layers every time and greatly reduce issues with bed adhesion. When using an auto-leveling system, the probe allows better tolerances for slightly warped print beds by measuring and compensating for any inconsistencies.

Founded in 2011, Flashforge, the first Chinese manufacturer of 3D printers, has continually expanded its offerings to include not only consumer-level printers but also models suited for educational, professional, and industrial purposes. Their products are characterized by fully enclosed designs that deviate from the typical open-frame models seen in some competitors. The brand has made a name for itself with its focus on user-friendly features such as automatic filament feeding, dual extrusion capabilities, WiFi connectivity, large touchscreens, and cloud printing. These advanced features, combined with their fully enclosed structures, position Flashforge printers as more than just tools, but as integral, user-friendly appliances in the home or professional setting.\n\nDespite their broad appeal, Flashforge faces criticism for not fully embracing the open-source movement, resulting in proprietary parts that can limit compatibility with generic components. This aspect can be a drawback for users who seek to upgrade their printers with third-party parts or who require standard-sized filament spools, as Flashforge's automatic filament feeder system is designed for narrower, brand-specific spools. However, the company offsets these limitations by offering lifetime technical support and maintaining a robust online presence, including a substantial following on social media platforms like Facebook. This support, coupled with their focus on producing printers that are quiet, enclosed, and automated, cements Flashforge’s status as a brand dedicated to creating accessible, high-quality 3D printing experiences, especially for those new to the field.\n\n"],"Brand Synopsis":["Flashforge, a prominent brand in the 3D printing industry since 2011, offers a range of mid to high-priced printers renowned for their beginner-friendly design and advanced features.

The maximum flow rate for PLA filament is 90 mm³ per second. The Flsun T1 measures 436 x 490 x 836 millimeters and weighs approximately 17 kilograms, with a printing chamber that is 260 millimeters in diameter and 330 millimeters high. The print nozzle is an all-metal hot end that can be heated to up to 300 °C and has a diameter of 0.4 millimeters. The hotend features a customized Volcano clone heat block, securely screwed into the effector to ensure stability during rapid printing. Notably, the adoption of a bi-metal heat break enhances thermal performance, enabling printing up to 300C without concerns about PTFE tube damage.\n\nThe 7-inch touchscreen accompanying the FLSUN T1 impresses with vibrant colors and a capacitive interface. The Klipper-powered FLSUN Speeder Pad, hosting the printer’s “brains,” enhances the overall user experience. The print bed can be heated to up to 110 °C. A camera is installed for AI error detection and software is currently in development for this feature. The FLSUN T1 also features a compact dual-gear direct-drive extruder setup, complemented by a 4510 radial fan. The fan, with fins resembling the Hemera extruder heatsink, contributes to efficient cooling of the bi-metal heat break. While a smaller heatsink could have reduced the printhead’s weight, the chosen size maintains manageable noise levels. Part cooling relies on a pair of 4010 radial fans, adept at efficiently cooling layers during printing without introducing excessive noise. Three LED strips beneath the effector illuminate prints, controllable via the web interface. The entire effector weighs around 400 grams, suitable for fast printing.\n\nThe FLSUN T1 houses an MKS Robin Nano 2.0 board, featuring the GigaDevice GD32F103 chip and four removable TMC2226 stepper drivers. The inclusion of a filament runout sensor, also serving as a strain relief for wires, adds convenience. However, the filament path within the sensor lacks adequate constraint, requiring some adjustment for smooth filament passage.","Technology":"FDM","Max Speed":1000,"amazon link":"N/A","include on 3dpros":true,"Brand":["recxSGXG0Po19ZfFE"],"ProsDB":["recRvE82rtBL90JT4","recle5DYwMmcmtIm2","recrx0dVLiW8rcg0w","recNZNVUzclb8l6oJ","recYagsRp6MdvRAMd","rece5Hr0qaZfhBtqL","recNJdNmsMtEBfJ7I","recZzEdgrUOyBFZE8","recTIbbSC2haHU1JX","recP5Us7sLba7gX2w","recxYamPDLrbqrSzM"],"UI Type":"Full Color Touch Screen","Wifi":"Yes","Entered by":"Gary","image on imagekit":true,"image link":"https://ik.imagekit.io/3dpros/PrintersDB/FLSun_T1","Touch screen":1,"Build Volume mm":"260 x 260 x 330 mm","Size mm":"436 x 490 x 836 mm","Manufacturer":["FLSun"],"imageKit Name":"FLSun_T1","image link (generated)":"https://ik.imagekit.io/3dpros/PrintersDB/FLSun_T1","ImageText":"https://ik.imagekit.io/3dpros/PrintersDB/FLSun_T1","ABL":1,"MetalExtruder":1,"DirectDrive":1,"MeanwellPsu":0,"ImageText copy":"https://dl.airtable.com/.attachments/e4f325de0c7578baaae4d2cdd540902f/d5b99f09/FLSUNT1.png","creation date":"2024-02-02T22:22:28.000Z","airtable image url":"FLSUN T1.png (https://dl.airtable.com/.attachments/e4f325de0c7578baaae4d2cdd540902f/d5b99f09/FLSUNT1.png)","ProsDetails":["auto bed leveling will ensure your prints have perfect first layers every time and greatly reduce issues with bed adhesion.

They offer great first layer adhesion with no spraysor other treatments, and can be flexed to quickly remove parts. You'll need to clean the bed with a solvent like acetone or IPA every so often to maintain the bed's adhesion.","A larger than average build volume means that you will be able to print larger parts without the need to split them into pieces and attach them together, which is especially useful with functional parts. If you have the room for the larger footprint, we definitely recommend going with a larger 3D printer, since you can always print small parts on a larger printer.","In addition to the standard USB and SD card connections, you can connect wirelessly to this printer to print from your computer or mobile device. ","An all-metal hot end allows for printing at high temperatures up to 300C, while standard hot ends are capped at 260C before the PTFE material begins to degrade. All-metal hot ends are also less susceptible to jamming, and do not degrade as fast.","An enclosure seals air around the print area. This holds warm, still air around the print area and is essential for printing temperature-sensitive materials like ABS. Enclosures also prevent particulates and gasses from being emitted into the surrounding area, increasing safety.
