Review on Monoprice 133820 Voxel Printer Removable by Jeff Westra

I've been typing on it for about 200 hours so I'm feeling good about it at the moment. There's a lot to like, it's actually print-ready after a few steps of z-direction calibration. The material of the bed is really good, looking in printers and talking to people I hear a lot about how difficult it is to get the first layer (glue, hairspray, tape etc) to stick. You really don't have to do much. to ensure traction in most pressures, and the detachable platform makes it easy to remove parts. After about 100 hours I started to hear the extruder clanking, especially on the first layer. I added some lube to the threads to lubricate the bowden tube and that completely solved the problem so it probably needs to be done regularly to keep friction low enough. and standalone so it doesn't look out of place on your desk. - Fairly quiet - The print quality is really very good in my opinion, especially when using ABS. No visible lines when viewed more than a foot away. Very easy to use in terms of starting prints, changing filament etc. Seems very reliable, I haven't had any paper jams or offset prints in my first 200 hours of use. . If the first layer laid well, it proved to be rock hard. Heating up seems pretty quick, especially for an extruder. Cons: To say that this is auto-leveling is complete nonsense. There is no such mechanism or sensors to do this, it is correct to say that there is no alignment. There is a tricky alignment procedure in X direction, I'm not sure if it's possible in Y direction. I had to do this, but I still have a 0.2mm back-to-front tilt that I can't resolve. At this point you seem stuck with the Flash printing software, although I can't really complain about the software (especially after finding the advanced mode in the settings). You can use the non-mono value FlashPrint for a more modern version, but then Wi-Fi will not work. I couldn't work with Cura files. The space for coils is a little less than 200mm in diameter. As a result, not many coils will fit, including the 500 gram coils that Monoprice sells. I found AIO Robotics to fit and look like high quality filament. It looks like they could only make it a hair's breadth bigger and it would be the least fit on 500g single value open door reels or most 1kg closed door reels. - The filament sensor is actually not a filament sensor. This is read when no filament is fed, it's a spool sensor but I'm not sure which brand. Maybe it only works with branded Flashforge coils? - The camera is really difficult to use, it can be accessed via the printer's IP address (see next line), but that's a problem. - The IP address must be reconfigured in the software. every time the printer restarts. Are you saying why you don't assign a static IP address to the router? Well, the printer uses a different MAC address each time, which is why most routers don't recognize it as the same device.
