Smaller community backing the printer, compared to the mk2. Pros: High quality components, massive build area, all-metal frame and corners, Duet WiFi controller, very quiet, FSR autoleveling, excelling print quality, great customer support.Ĭons: Kit with a complicated build compared to the mk2, which includes soldering and crimping. We'll see if that lowers the lead time.īUILD AREA: 300 mm (11.8 in) diameter, with 445 mm (17.5 in) z-height. Prusa is moving into a new space, hopefully to let them ramp up production to meet demand. The lead times are borderline unacceptable at this point, however. Notes: For the price, this is still one of the best, if not the best, printer you could hope to buy. Pros: Strong community, great customer service, high-quality components, autoleveling, multi-material upgrade available, amazing print quality, easy interfaceĬons: Inconsistent autoleveling (varies), issues with warped beds, large lead time of almost 2 months, customer support can be slow (though support chat is responsive), extremely loud bearings even on silent mode, kit (though easiest kit out there). Maybe releasing this month?īUILD AREA: 9.84 x 8.3 x 8 in (250 x 210 x 200 cm) Notes: Cheap Monoprice rebrand of the Wanhao D7 was supposed to come out in April, but was delayed. Upgrades are worthwhile.īUILD AREA: 4.7 x 2.75 x 7.9 in (120 x 70 x 200 mm)Ĭons: Wanhao QC with this printer has been poor, issues with print quality/reliability Still in this price range, but at the upper end instead. Notes: Some upgrades like the aluminum bed, upgraded lead screws/metal parts, and e3d v6 hotend are seen as very important to the quality of this printer, and bring the price up to $550. Pros: Good value, customer service, print quality, large build area, v-slot 2020 extrusions.Ĭons: Kit, z-wobble issues (solved with community mods), important features in upgrades. I'm going to have to remove it from my list from now on, because I believe they've phased this out in favor of the PowerSpec Ultra.īUILD AREA: 8 x 8 x 7 in (200 x 200 x 180 mm) Notes: This printer appears to be out of stock everywhere. Pros: Inexpensive rebrand of FF Creator Pro, dual extrusion, enclosed, solid UIĬons: PowerSpec customer support nonexistent I 100% recommend doing the mosfet mod regardless of purchase date.īUILD AREA: 8.9 x 5.7 x 5.9 in (225 x 145 x 150 mm) Notes: Electrical issues are apparently evident in some of the new stock, even with updated connectors. Pros: Large community, easy troubleshooting, large print area, upgradeableĬons: Electrical issues (mosfet mod now necessary imo) Notes: Definitely more of a gamble than the Mini, but larger print volume is possibly a worthwhile tradeoff.īUILD AREA: 7.9 x 7.9 x 7.1 in (200 x 200 x 180 mm) Pros: Large print area, solid frame, decent print quality, upgradeable and easily modifiableĬons: Difficult kit assembly, Folger Tech QC Numerous other issues, so stay away until these are resolved.īUILD AREA: 8 x 8 x 6 in (200 x 200 x 150 mm) No heated bed is pretty awful (though you can buy one on their site you can add), the pretreated surface is bad and easily destroyed, and there are bad banding artifacts showing up in many peoples' prints, which looks like is a software issue. Notes: I've been following this printer the last month and I've decided I do not recommend it. Pros: Large build area, solid design, wifiĬons: Inconsistent print quality, bed easily damaged, only certain slicers work, no heated bed! Mini is still the best printer in this price range.īUILD AREA: 110 mm diameter by 120 mm z-heightīUILD AREA: 7 x 7 x 7 in (180 x 180 x 180 mm) I don't think it's worth going out of your way for this printer over the V1, so if you're interested in a mini, just grab whichever one is available on the Monoprice website. As an owner of one, I'd recommend buying a V1 until the rattling issue is sorted with the V2. Notes: V2 is sold out and is periodically restocked in small amounts. Pros: Cheap, best build quality for price, no electrical issues, upgradeableĬons: Low V2 stock (periodically restocked), V2 rattling issue (not evident in V1), small build volume
