Review on Kee Volcano Printers with All-Metal Extruder by Jonathan Abreu

Revainrating 5 out of 5

HUGE UPDATE TO STANDARD HOT END

I was skeptical given the price but I couldn't make it at this price point. Everything was connected and up and running in about 30 minutes as I had already printed out my mounts. I get smoother prints and the same extrusion properties at 10-15% lower temperature. It could be the location of the thermistor or just manufacturing differences in the thermistor but I see this as a plus as I previously had to print at 255-260 with the standard hotend PETG to get good flow and adhesion where I am now print at 245 with great results. I see this as an advantage as I now have a bit more wiggle room and can finally print with this nylon filament without even changing the 260 max temperature setting. came with 2 blocks and a crappy bunch of jets and extras. I have no idea as for the price but I'm not complaining. Feeding goes smoothly, there were no traffic jams or anything like that. I use standard CR10 fans since it's one less thing to solder and printed a 40mm fan mount for it instead of the standard 30mm fans. not sure how much it makes a difference. There are no problems here either. I've also been able to increase my print speed from a reliable 30-40mm/s with PETG and now the quality is equal or better at 40-55mm/s. It takes a certain amount of willpower to play around and set everything up, but it rocks once you set it up. Highly recommended. Get one.
