Review on Flashforge Semi-Enclosed Removable Platform Education 3D Printing Solutions by Wayne Drakh

In general, a decent entry-level printer. Of course, this is mainly because you learn what can go wrong and the best way to fix it (after looking, usually not via the manual or website). It took a while to set up and then even more time to get the filament settings right. However, the printer tends to create chains between different objects, and towers/higher objects are almost impossible to sculpt correctly when it has to navigate through empty space. The level of detail could also be significantly better, since even with the lowest layer height, lines and bumps are still clearly visible. But dude, you can craft some durable items. I would definitely recommend it if you're going to be using it primarily for simple utility items, or if you want to print a large model with low detail. I have to say that this is the worst part of the printer. Sweet (expletive) is loud. I was tempted several times to find and rip out the speaker. Turning it on is like the trumpet sound of a cavalry charge right next to your ear. The orientation sounds like the patient has just straightened up, only they have it plugged into a speaker and held it directly to their ear. And he should do this three times or more (usually more times, as the leveling process should tell you, up, then check, then down if you've gone too far). Buy earplugs and warn your neighbors. But the printing process itself is actually pretty quiet (until it's done, then it *must* beep again). Again, everything is generally decent here. Not the best option for the price you pay, but at least it's a decent print bed.
