Great 3D Printer

Great 3D printer! I just purchased a week ago, and I've already made many 3D prints from the starter ones, to ones I've downloaded on the internet. It has a great price attached for what your able to print.
I've been using this printer for a couple months now. Took me a couple prints to lock in the settings. Default settings were not optimal at least in my environment. Printer is able to handle large jobs easily and is very intuitive to set up and use. I wish I had the ability to adjust print settings like print speed during the print.
It took me around 10 minutes to start printing. The setup instructions are very clear. Keep in mind this is my first ever experience with any 3D printer ever.
I love my Dremel 3D printers. I have a 3D printer farm. I have the ones in the picture, plus others in another room. I have 1 Prusa, 2 Matterhacker Pulse XE Advanced NylonX and 13 Dremel 3D Printers. I only bought the other printers for use with NylonX Filament, but my preference fir quality prints are my Dremels.
I only use Dremel Filaments for my Dremels. Then I use mostly the default settings in Simplify3D with a few changes depending in what my needs are. The prints are ultra fine, and professional grade. I don’t have to waste time and money trying to get the printers to print perfectly. It does it out of the box already.
You just need to follow the instructions to the letter. Clean the build plate properly for every print then Level the bed. Clean the black build tape by using a 220 grit sanding block every so often and you will be good.
As you can see from the picture, they are all printing and doing it perfectly.
We purchased the printer for our middle school science lab. The kids love it! The pre-programmed print projects were great to get the kids interested in the activity. Can't wait to see what they create on their own!
When properly tuned, the printer does pretty good. However, it will be one thing or another that will break or fail. I've taken this printer through the ringer on many types of printer torture tests and can say that the quality is not stellar. Currenly, the heater managed to burn itself out. Basically, expect this printer to break and require you to put money into fixing it.
