Expect it in a week. I have a lot to do tomorrow but I am gonna try really hard to get a print off before I go to bed. I will just ham fist something just to see where I am at.

I mean just from the heft of this unit and the features I see its worth it. I would not have ordered a second with out testing it if I didnt think it was quality.

The only thing I don't like so far just from looking is the print nozzle it looks very proprietary.

Did you guys buy the $14.99 protection plan?

Mr.P · « **Reply #23 on:** August 01, 2022, 11:45:27 PM »

If anyone gets one and prints some test objects, I’d be interested in seeing the results.

One last question from an old dog trying to learn new tricks, does it come with any filament to test? If it doesn't, what should I get?

Insanity · « **Reply #25 on:** August 02, 2022, 05:26:49 AM »

I did not get the protection plan and it dose come with a small sample of white filament.

what should I get?

You'll probably get as many suggestion as you would to "what pellet should I get?"

The most popular being PLA and PETG. My printing is far from optimized but I get a little better detail with PLA and PETG is a little less likely to deform at higher temperatures (Hot sun, Hot car, etc.).
I recently made a shroud for my 2027. The main tube is carbon but all the internals and the front and back sights are PLA. I don't expect high temperatures to be a problem.
If you have Amazon prime, there are always deals on either material for under $20 a kg roll (which will last you a while).

I use black PETG Amazon overture or hatchbox.

Insanity · « **Reply #28 on:** August 02, 2022, 07:27:23 PM »

Its together and doing the test print with the provided pla.

Overture pla pro is a great very durable pla filament and has been better than the other filaments I have tried. My experience is limited though. This stuff for me works best with a bed at 60 and nozzle at 220

I had pore results with pla in the sun not the same with PETG. It's close to abs but prints like pla. Abs stinks and loves heat.

I have not tried the pro but I heard it has better uv resistance.

Ok here is my first print with random setting and random filament and it turned out really good. I see all the flaws but they will be tuned out as I progress with PETG.

Insanity · « **Reply #32 on:** August 02, 2022, 11:03:46 PM »

I now have the owl printing in PETG at a much larger size. Using what ever cura said ok that's your printer this is what we say will work. I will share that here then I will start a thread on what I do to make it do what I need it to do.

Mr.P · « **Reply #33 on:** August 03, 2022, 11:05:38 AM »

That seems like a reasonable first print. Congrats

oldpro · « **Reply #34 on:** August 03, 2022, 12:05:45 PM »

Looking good.

Insanity · « **Reply #35 on:** August 03, 2022, 01:59:09 PM »

PETG looks nicer but it was just a glance this morning.

oldpro · « **Reply #36 on:** August 03, 2022, 02:13:25 PM »

I print PETG almost exclusively with great results.

Been so busy playing with the new printer toy heres pics of first real project.
The spool arm that comes on these is not very good this looks much better.

Insanity · « **Reply #38 on:** August 03, 2022, 05:25:05 PM »

Thats neat.

Here is PETG owl. I am only showing what I think is the worst of the worst here because the rest just looks perfect. This is just here we go with no settings being tweaked.

oldpro · « **Reply #39 on:** August 03, 2022, 05:47:33 PM »

Both the above prints look pretty darn good for a 200 dollar printer!!!
