Customer Reviews
This printer works pretty amazing. I have run into a couple issues, but they wound up being my fault for adding the light that caused an issue. I have to hand it to the tech-support. I emailed the support email address and within about 15 minutes. I already had a response. Was able to troubleshoot my issue within about 6 to 8 hours. They are super responsive and willing to help. Love the company and will definitely stick to them in the future.
A good, affordable multicolor printer, unlike other manufacturers. It's worth buying if you want to get into the multicolor field.
Setup is very simple if you follow the steps in the manual and stick to them.
The manual is in English and Chinese, but even if you don't fully understand the language, it's well-described with pictures.
After removing the printer from the box, all the accessories and attachments are stored inside the printer and protected by foam squares.
After removing everything from inside the printer, you'll have the multicolor module, including the PTFE tube guide and bracket, in front of you; it's easy to install.
Once you've connected everything and turned on the printer, you have to select the language, and the printer will begin calibrating itself, including performing a vibration test.
The filament spool holders are also easy to install; just pay attention to the number to determine which bracket goes where. I think this might have something to do with the multicolor system and/or the retraction, etc.
You might be surprised by the red plastic parts that come with it; they're for securing the filament spool once you've pushed it onto the holder.
The first test prints with the sample filament were successful, and the Benchy also looked very good.
What I find a bit of a shame is that the QR code in the Flashmaker app's manual leads to a Chinese website and doesn't offer a direct download for Android or iOS.
I don't have a direct comparison regarding xy printers and their noise levels, but the printer is a bit loud, but it doesn't bother me.
My conclusion:
A simple multicolor printer for little money and, in my opinion, worthwhile.
It was worth the wait! I am totally new to 3d printing and this has been a breeze to learn how to use. I love it and try to print something new every day!
I love this printer. I can’t stop looking for items to print. Currently working on printing a photo I converted to a 3D model it’s great.
Excellent machine. A few bugs here and there as expected with new machine but looking forward to getting the hang of this and churning out quality prints.
