Extremely Reliable w/800 Hrs and counting!

Our 8 year old daughter won the 3D20 in an electronics contest. It was our first 3D printer in 2019, and now we own 4 for all the kids (and dad). Out of all the printers we own, this 3D20 has been absolutely the most reliable and dependable printer we have. With the proper prep work to clean and degrease the bed after each print, it truly is a fire and forget printer! We also have done a number of upgrades, such as a hardened nozzle to print abrasive filaments. And for tuning, honestly, the tuning is just to find out the proper filament temps (keep your filament dry! this goes for any printer!). Please take a look at a number of the attached pics, as this printer printing at 0.1, 0.15, 0.2, and 0.3 does a perfect job each and every time. We've built some amazing things on this thing, and it still gets the most use out of all printers. The multi-color items were fun: be patient and "Pause" the printer at the right layer. During the pause, you can change the filament. And then resume!

DREMEL has done an outstanding job of making the 3D printer easy to use. We unpackaged the printer from the box, and were able to print the sample projects right away! We are having loads of fun printing projects!
I would recommend this to a friend!

Purchased this printer about a month ago, and have been running it everyday since the box was opened. It is a great little printer, but when first received it we were having troubles with it clogging/jamming in the head. I am an engineer/mold maker by trade, so I took the head apart and tweaked the feed area. I found that the spring pressure in the head where it pushes against the drive wheel to be too forceful, after removing a coil off the spring and chamfering the lead hole to the melting head I have not had a single problem.
The first couple of prints that I printed had bubbles or drool spots where the printer would pause for a moment. I realized that was caused by the fact i was trying to run it from the computer, I recommend putting all files on the SD card and running prints from there.
This is my first 3d printer, and besides the fun stuff to print this printer has been a great tool for my trade. I plan on purchasing another soon, but would like to see a dual feed.

Overall this is a great printer. Compared to the market this printer is on the cheaper end of the spectrum. This printer worked great for me until the prints started not sticking to the printer. This only happens on some prints though, and overall I have been extremely satisfied.

Good, but not the best.

I have had this printer for over a year now, and while the print quality is fairly good, to get the full capabilities of this printer you will need outside software such as cues for better slicing and in my case a replacement tube in the heat block assembly. The claims that this printer is quite are totally fabricated, which can be seen by the multiple models put online to address the overwhelming sound this printer makes. To fully take advantage of this printer, you will definitely have to make spool holders that can be placed on top and buy 3rd party filaments to get that little extra ounce of quality. Overall it is a good printer, lacks some print volume, and some of the marketing is misguided but a solid printer at the cost.

No 3D printers like the Dremel 3D Idea Builder

I was looking for a 3d printer... I was going to go with a Chinese 3D printer and I saw that Dremel was coming out with a 3D printer. I knew that Dremel has a good repetition and brand. I was curious to see what they would come out with. I watched this product until Dec 25th, 2014. I finally got one and I LOVE IT!!!!! There are truly no 3D printers out there like this for this price. It has great features, technology, touch screen, functionality and much much more! If you are thinking about getting a 3D printer, There is not a better printer then the Dremel 3D Idea Builder for Beginners to Advance users. If you get one you will not be disappointed with this printer, rather you will be impressed! I LOVE my Dremel 3D Idea Builder and would love other people to have one too!

I started printing 20 min after opening the box!

My first 3D printer! I brought it home (Christmas present from the kids) and ripped open the box. I started printing a tree frog about 20 minutes later, it's that easy. I'm printing the hex vase now, while I'm downloading the software and firmware updates. I look forward to designing my own. I'll update this review if anything changes after I have used it for a while.
