Review on 🖥️ FoKoos Odin 5 Touchscreen, Fully Assembled 235x235x250mm by Jesus Jenkins

That's all you could ever ask for from an i3 printer of this size. It's $20 more expensive than the Ender 3 V2 at regular price, but with so many extra features, it's worth every penny. It's easy enough for a beginner, but good enough for a seasoned amateur. Construction: All metal and feels very solid. The included glass plate holds prints as if they were glued on, but peels them off easily as they cool. The double Z lead screw is one of the features it has over the single Z ender, offering superior stability and repeatability. The base of the machine is made from thick stamped sheet metal, giving it a more finished look than the aluminum extrusions you typically see and keeping everything neatly under the build plate to reduce the footprint. Ribbon cables (they're called flexible ribbon cables) keep everything organized and out of each other's way, so they never get stuck and shift layers. The bed clips are low profile and will not interfere with the print. X-Carriage: more than just a part of the design, it's the soul of the machine. It features a direct drive geared extruder that allows for a smaller and lighter motor than my other direct drive, maintaining print quality at higher speeds. The Vulkan's all-metal hot end allows you to heat a large amount of filament, allowing you to use the huge 1.2mm Vulkan nozzles for fast prototyping. It also has a filament run out sensor so you'll never have to go home and find that your printer is on air. Electronics: MKS Robin 32-bit motherboard easily handles prints even at very high resolution, handles G-code lines very quickly. It also has plenty of pinouts for a second extruder, ABL, or any number of additional features. It is also made with 2209 stepper motor drivers, which are smooth and quiet. It comes preinstalled with Marlin 2.0 and appears to be Wi-Fi enabled, although I haven't set it up. loaded via TF (Micro SD) card or possibly via Wi-Fi. Assisted alignment, setup and printing are then controlled via an intuitive color touchscreen. Complaints: The touchscreen's vocabulary is a bit different than what I'm used to. The spool holder is a bit small for my Sainsmart spool but seems to be adequate for my other materials. The collapsible design can use assisted leveling for faster setup, but still easy to handle. The PSU fan is a bit noisy. Overall: Great value for money, especially with the coupon that's on it right now. There are very few complaints and they are all very minor. Comparable to the Ender 3 V2 but takes up less space and the upgrades are already made a lot cheaper than you could do them yourself.
