3D Print Comparison

Pros: Easy to use; refill filament, print 3D files, wireless is convenient, and non heating bed. A great value for a 3D Printer. Cons; purchasing expensive filament through XYZPRINTING. Not able to purchase 3rd party filament due to NFC chip.

This is my second 3d printer. It is a fabulous printer the build size is limiting. The performance and print quality are spectacular. Very quiet also.

Love it. Easy to use; decent print quality. This is my first 3D printer and I am totally new to 3D printing. Glad I bought this as my first one as entry level.

The 3D40 Flex 3D print is my first 3D printer. It was easy to set up and bed leveling was extremely easy even for a beginner. It can be connected to the computer with WIFI, USB, or Ethernet. The flexible table makes part removal easy. I've used this printer more than I thought I would before I purchased it. I've been able to create things easily using free software. Dremel provides free slicing software, but I did opt to purchase Simply 3D, which has built-in defaults for my printer. My daughter now calls me a Craft Geek.

My first 3D printer and I love it. The instructions are clear and it is easy to assemble out of the box. There are a ton of youtube videos on this printer so this has helped me a lot. What I found most valuable is to make sure you FIRST mechanically flatten the bed and then do the auto-leveling. I do an auto-leveling before each print because every time I remove a previous print I fear it moves the adjustment. Remember we are printing ~0.12-0.2mm layer heights so I think it is important to auto-level each time. It only takes a minute or two. Also do it with the bed and nozzle at the temperature you are going to print at.

I was going to 3D print a cover for my lens but I saw this and decided to try it. I am glad I did. It is great to protect the lens on my Osmo Action.

So this was my 1st 3d printer I had done my research for quite a while if you want a premium printer that can print right out the box with minimal setup and a large bed this one is for you I might just buy a second one too.

Since entering the 3d print world I wanted to have some flexibility and ability to use a array of filaments including carbon fiber, and thought the quick cooling of the hyper pla would work for me. Test and prints came out looking great and the prints all feel hardend and sturdy, which is great for what I intend to print. Definitely gonna be my go to until I begin carbon fiber testing. Ohhh and as always B&H taking care of you with the high level service. Packaging was great and shipping was speedy. Bravo

I have use orher brands of printers - so far there is nothing that will match print quality in a side-by-side comparison. Sharpness, color range, "eye appeal" is all there. Monochrome or color, your choice.

I used Pearl for years without doing comparison tests to other Hahnemulhe Fine Art Papers. But, was I ever disapointed when I found out I was using the wrong paper. 1) This paper bronzes (where some inks lay down in such a way they look like it was an after thought) and makes the print look like it was printed on an inkjet printer. 2) The pearl shine is destracting when you look at a print. It makes the print look cheap - my feelings. 3) In comparison to my favorites which are William Thurner and then second is Mussem Etching. When you walk by or look at a print on the wall or in professional competition the sharpness and the fact there is no glare but deep and lovely colors and a wonderful presentation per the papers makes a big difference to me. You can not tell that ink was layed on the prints even in different lighting. They look like paintings. In addition there are no optical brighteners in either William Turner of Museum Etching. The papers feel like art paper. 4) I have spent hours on trying to find a replacement paper that I can roll feed so that I can use the paper for any size job (printer width restricted). William Turner I can not get in 17 rolls. Therefore, Museum Etching is my second choice. All papers mentioned are fine papers. I tried to let you know what I have seen and feel. I hope this helps you in your art paper search.
