My 3D Printers
My 3D Printers
This was my first 3d printer, I was not sure what i was looking for but thougt the bigger the better. Well i had a rocky start with number of clogged nozzles a hot end that gave up after a couple of weeks. A belt that broke after a month and many other things. I was thinking that it was a terrible mistake to buy it. But for the last 3-4 months i has run very stable and printed very well. I have learned a lot of how a 3d printer works by tinkering with it. I love the large build plate that lets me build real big things. Feel free to look at the Fall out waste bin under completed projects, it is printed with the Kobra 2 max.
This was my second machine i bought. Over all it has been pretty solid. It does not always print flawless, but for the most its good. I Had a couple of problems with it, The machine started to behave strange and it was the z probe that had come loose. Also the cable holder to the build plate came loose by the vibrations after a couple of months. After 7 month i got a error message the heating of the nozzle was wrong, it turned out that the heat cartridge was bad and after i replaced it has worked well. I am pretty satisfied with it.
This was the fourth machine i bought. After some research, i came to the conclusion that this sounded like a stable work horse and i was not wrong. It prints beautiful and i have not had a single problem with it. I have modified it a little. The print speed was very low from the begining, but after a firmware update it can print at 150 mms instead of 50 mms, its still not super fast but now acceptable. A better fan has replaced the original hotend fan. I have one complaint and that it have no filament run out sensor so i had to buy one and installed it.
This was the third 3d printer i bought. I felt that i needed a resin printer for my more detailed projects. What can i say, it has worked flawless and it just keeps printing with very high quality. Then i am in a hurry i use high speed resin and it just print it with out any problems.
This was the fifth printer i got, And i got to tell you that this a diffrent beast. It prints beautiful and not a single problem with so far. I got the new "cool plate super tack" from bambu lab, that is for pla and petg filament. not a single print has come loose from the build plate since i got it. I would say it is worth every penny. Overall i am very pleased. The only downside is the price. it is much more expensive than the other printers i have, but then again it is highest quality.

My sixth and latest printer. It prints beautiful and fast. No big problems yet. But it has started to make some strange sounds right before it starts to print. it disapears after a few seconds. So time will tell if its an up coming bigger problem. Overall i am pleased with the machine, so far.
