Review on πŸ–¨οΈ Enhance Your 3D Printing Experience with FlashForge Creator Extruder Printer 3D FFG CMAX by Neil Biondo

Revainrating 4 out of 5

First Impression: Great

I've only had it a few hours but I've already printed quite a few things on it. It was incredibly easy to set up, although the instructions were a little disorganized. FlashPrint software is very easy to use and the print quality is amazing. I can say a lot more about durability or reliability but my first impression is that this thing DEFINITELY gets 5 stars. UPDATE #1: After 2 days of fairly continuous use, I found a major bug in the filament feed system. It doesn't mix well with the feed hoses and tends to get stuck and impede feed (some prints have failed after hours of printing which was very frustrating). However, I only gave it 1 star because there are multiple filament routing solutions available on Thingiverse. You only need to keep a close eye on the printer for the few hours it takes to print the manual. Once the guide is in place, it solves feeding problems. (One of the best things about a 3D printer is that you can use it to solve most of its own problems). Overall, the print quality is still excellent. I wasn't able to test it in dual extruder mode as it only comes with one filament (I thought it should have come with two) but I've ordered a few more so will update as soon as I have a few tried colors . and yarn brand. UPDATE #2: So, I've had some trouble feeding a specific filament, but I'm not sure if it's machine or filament. I also tried the dual extruder mode, which is very finicky, but once you get the hang of it, it's just awesome. I'm leaving it 4 stars because after debugging and experimenting it still works fine.

Pros
  • Closed build chamber - maintained build chamber temperature
Cons
  • Doubtful
