Review on FLSUN Pre Assembly Auto Leveling Φ260330Mm Printing by Dave Hammon

I bought mine direct from FLSun before they were available from Revain which probably doesn't mean I'm a verified buyer (probably like me almost gonna get another one for sure so my status will be updated at that point). The assembly was very easy, about half an hour of leisurely work. Attaching the bottom platform made me wish I had a second person borrowing a third hand, but it wasn't anything special. If I had a workbench to set it on a flat surface it wouldn't be difficult. Anyway, I went to the Facebook page and took a bunch of optimized pressure profiles, added them to my Cura setup and cut up Benchy (because of course you start with Benchy!). Cutting in 0.2 layers and printing speed of 150mm/s. I did the initial layer level/z offset adjustment which only took a few minutes and sent my first print. I had to do a small Live Z adjustment after observing the first layer, but everything else was perfectly smooth. . Since then I've made both large format terrain prints for wargames and a large number of WW2 28mm models as well as something for an RPG I'm making. All have 0.2 layers and 150 mm/s. I ran some tests with the .1 layers and they worked fine, but overall the models I worked with didn't add much quality compared to the .2 layers with adaptive layers enabled where necessary. I also tried printing at 200mm/s and 250mm/s to see if it can handle that. The printer needs better cooling to print reliably at these speeds, but mechanically it was fine and a cheap upgrade to 5015 fans would fix what's actually on my to-do list. Actually a star deduction because of the extruder. Mine ate the filament a few times, although further adjustments to the retract settings and temperature seem to have gotten that under control. However, it is noisy when retracted and slips a bit at high speed. Still perfectly serviceable, but something to consider as you'll probably want to replace stock at some point if you're serious about printing. I suspect a BMG v2 clone from TriangleLabs will solve all problems, although I will install Bondtech LGX.TL;DR: Very good machine out of the box, fully capable of printing at 150mm/s with excellent print quality and acceptable Reliability. Additionally, a relatively cheap upgrade makes speeds of 200+ mm/s achievable.
