Affordable Core XY Printer with Easy Setup

This is a budget-friendly, open Core XY printer that is easy to set up and running within 30 minutes. The stock nozzle produces good parts at high speed. An enclosure is considered essential for materials beyond PLA and PETG, and it also reduces noise significantly. A filament cutter for the toolhead adds convenience for around €35. Users are advised to wait one to two months before installing firmware updates to allow fixes. Overall, it offers fast, consistent quality for around €250.

Pros
  • + easy setup in 30 minutes
  • + good print quality at high speed with stock nozzle
  • + fast and consistent quality
  • + affordable at around €250
Cons
  • − enclosure required for materials beyond PLA/PETG

Fast, low-waste multicolor 3D printing made easy

This 3D printer is fast, easy to set up, and easy to use. Unlike most multicolor printers that purge filament and create waste, it produces almost zero waste. It prints well in PLA and PETG; ABS and nylon have not been tested but may need the heated, enclosed chamber. It has printed miniature football helmets at least twice as fast as another printer, with no waste.

Pros
  • + fast
  • + easy setup
  • + easy to use
  • + almost zero waste
  • + prints well in PLA and PETG
  • + faster than another printer

Mixed Performance with Firmware and Software Issues

Toolchanges are fast and reliable, avoiding pogo pin problems. However, the firmware and software are poor, with restrictions on Klipper and pressure to use a proprietary app. The purging system scatters filament and frequently snags on the Z rods, which feels cheap. Print quality is only mediocre despite the 1.5GT belts.

Pros
  • + fast and reliable toolchanges
  • + no pogo pin issues
Cons
  • − horrible firmware
  • − worse software
  • − locked out of Klipper
  • − forced to use proprietary app
  • − cheap purging system
  • − filament scatters
  • − snags on Z rods
  • − mediocre print quality

Good Printer Held Back by Software Issues

The printer was unusable for about two weeks because the slicing software lacked a profile for the non-pro model and would not allow one to be created, causing repeated print rejections. A software update later added the correct profile, after which printing worked. Print quality is quite good, though some slicer glitches and settings still need fixing. Setup was the easiest of three printers set up in recent years. The machine feels well built and is much faster than previous printers. The software remains a work in progress. The price is steep given similar machines cost less than half. Order plenty of filament, as included samples are minimal.

Pros
  • + good print quality
  • + easy setup
  • + well-built machine
  • + faster than previous printers
Cons
  • − software initially lacked correct profile
  • − slicer glitches and settings need fixing
  • − software still a work in progress
  • − steep price
  • − minimal included filament
