3D Printer, LABISTS Auto Leveling 3D Printer DIY Kit for Adults with Resume Printing Function, Touch Screen, Filament Detection, Printing Size 220X220X250mm

First, let me tell you I am completely new at 3D printing. I bought an Ender 3 Pro a few weeks ago and I found the experience rather frustrating. My prints keep failing for one reason or another, finally, after about two weeks of frustration, many tweaks, adjustments, and tons of research I got the machine to work. The pictures show you the work of both machines, the white ones are made on the Ender 3 Pro, the grey ones on the LABISTS, all are made out of the exact same file without any modifications. Personally I find the quality of the prints from the LABISTS better. Another great thing is the assembly. It takes a few minutes to put the LABIST together as it is mostly assembled. One more good thing is the manual, for a change this machine comes with a manual, actually a nice printed one. Of course being a Chinese machine even when far better than most, still not that great, and here is where the IMPORTANT part comes.There are two plastic strips that keep the plate from moving while in transit. This is barely addressed on the manual in a tiny picture I could not see. The strips are GREEN, one in the front and one in the back. You have to remove a green metal plate on each side in order to slide them out. Do it one at a time and replace the metal plates. Also, there are cables inside the main casing that you need to get out. A flat one that connects the printing head, and very important a tick round black one that connects to the plate. This last one is connected, but you need to get it out of the casing or it will prevent the plate from moving.Now the good and it is really good, this beautiful machine is printing right out of the box, no research, no frustration, no adjustments other than leveling. The first thing the manual tells you to do is some goofy plate leveling. After that, they tell you the machine was level at the factory (and you are telling me now....). I did it as the manual says just because it tells you to do it before telling you it is level, if I get a second machine I will just leave it as it is and go for the automatic leveling, which works great.The touch screen is good but it is very easy to touch one thing when you are trying to touch another. I guess is normal due to the small size of the screen. It is big enough to read it comfortably, but maybe a bit small for the touch. Still, it works and works well just do it carefully when using crucial commands.Not trying to get political with the samples, is just what I printed and thought was a good example because that design requires a high level of accuracy. The cat design comes free with the LABISTS. By the way, it does not come with any software but everyone uses Cura, is free and you can get it from the Internet.Happy printing

Set up and assembly is a breeze taking about five minutes with two people, a little more if solo. Once assembled, you are ready to print as the manufacturer was thoughtful enough to provide about 10 yards of filament and an SD card with three basic models. More models can be found online by the thousands in various repositories (I.E. Thingiverse, Cults3D, Yeggi, GrabCAD, etc...) and the recommended slicer program which converts the 3d model into the correct gcode for printing is provided on the SD card.Note: If when you go to print and the printer moves but doesn't print, format the SD card and try again. Mine wouldn't print at first, but after formatting the SD card as advised by Labists (excellent communication BTW, Facebook Messenger is the best way to communicate with them), mine has been printing like a champ ever since!

I’m really happy with our choice. We chose this printer for the price, large print volume and simplicity of setup and use. It is quite an easy printer to get set up and going. This is from people with no prior experience in setting one up. We do have good technical background and experience with CAD, which puts designing our own creations easily within reach. For people without this experience, there are a wealth of files online for anyone to access.Before and during setup, we watched and followed along with the instructional video of how to do it. Everything went just as shown and expected. There were not too many steps involved and it took under an hour before it was ready to level. As the machine arrived from the factory, the build plate was already adjusted correctly and needed no adjustment on our part. Before our first print we just needed to run the automatic leveling and adjust the sensor sensitivity.We opted to install and run Ultimaker Cura v4.7, rather than the older version of the software. As online forums and even another reviewer mentioned, the newer software needs to use the Anet ET4 printer, within the software, to generate the g-code for this particular machine. For our first test runs, we printed the rocket and dog models, which were provided already sliced, on the SD card. Those let us know that the printer was functioning properly and gave us the confidence to then try some of our own models.The Cura software makes it easy to re-orient, scale and flip the model to get it ready for slicing. While it is able to load several different file types, we generally work with STL files, exported from CAD models. We have found the default settings for slicing to be pretty good, but one does need to understand a little bit about how the printing is done to fine tune things like the infill. Things like print temperature and build plate temperature have been fine at their default. For the slicing, thankfully the software allows one to visualize every step of the printing process to know what will happen before you send the g-code off to the machine. You are able to view each slice of the coding and even “play” an animation of how the printer will print that layer. Adjustments can be made, as necessary, and the model re-sliced and viewed again. If one has never 3-D printed anything before, you will have to play around a bit with printing in different orientations to get a feel for the best way to do it.Something I like about the printing is that the Cura software, by default, prints a “brim” around the model, which helps your model adhere to the build plate and not warp. This has given us a good success rate. The brim is a thin “island” of material around the model, which detaches easily from the model when printing is done. Setting up to print, with a brim, I have only had one of my models fail. It was a tall form with a small base which was better printed horizontally.Overall, I’m really impressed with the print quality and ease of use of this machine. I have been able to create some very fun and also useful things. The tolerances have been excellent, compared to my CAD models, allowing me to make custom replacement parts for household items. It has been a great educational experience for my kids as well, to have ideas and see them become reality through 3D printing. It is something that will find a permanent home in our workshop. The ease of transferring files via micro SD card makes it possible to set up anywhere, remote from a PC. The intuitive touch screen on the machine is your control panel for all the setup.I’m so glad we finally made this investment. Plan ahead, unlike us, and make sure to pick up a big roll of filament.... you’re going to need it for everything you want to create.

El Stepmotor para el eje "Y" no funcionaba lo cual hacia inútil la impresora desde el primer día.
