I expect to do a full review once I've finished playing but here are some basic specs:
- 320 x 320 x 420 build volume
- 3-in 1-out extruder with mixing nozzle
- 0.4mm nozzle plus 2x spares
- filament run-out detection
- 4.3" touch screen
- 32-bit board
- silent stepper drivers (as in properly silent)
- optical endstops for X and Z
- dual steppers AND dual endstops for Z (nice touch, that)
Not without its little niggles but honestly nothing that impedes its performance:
- would've liked silent cooling fans along with the silent steppers drivers, kinda makes sense, you know?
- the build surface is too good. Yeah, you read that right
- the filament included with the printer (see photo) is very little
- the manual could've been a lot more detailed. Not an issue for me but a beginner might struggle to get it running
- the filament is difficult to load when the spools are mounted (or my hands are too big, take your pick)
- cable management (outside the case, not inside) is untidy
- The cooling fan shroud is 3D printed. WTF?! This was a thing 8 years ago but now? Everything else is either sheet metal or injection moulded. Works great though so...
Overall this feels like a solid and well-put-together printer with very neatly made parts. I ordered it straight from the
Geeetech site in China along with three 1kg spools of filament. All in €413 including shipping. Bargain.
