Review on ๐Ÿ”ง Enhanced Mainboard for Creality Desktop Printer by Russ Mashlan

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Really impressed with this printer.

As the owner of four 3D printers (and three more in the house) everyone including myself was really impressed with this printer. I wanted to buy this printer because it has a unique print head arrangement where the hot end moves in the XY plane and the build area slopes down in the Z axis. I decided to spend a few extra bucks on purchasing an upgraded "quiet" version of the printer to see what it will end up with. "a quiet job," but I was happy to find out I was dead wrong on both counts. All the belts on the printer are very tight, and the quiet drivers make the stepper motors virtually silent. During my first print, I kept thinking it was done , as I was walking past the room where the printer was standing because I couldn't hear the stepper motor.Motors are running.I remember sitting at the first 3D printer I got, fascinated by how the machine was operated when she printed a set of small owl figures.With this printer I repeated the experience, surprised that you cannot control the moving of the hotend.The only thing that bothers me about the printer is that the main control box fan is (very) noisy and that I wish there was a second set of rails on the other side of the build area to support the hot bed I've heard some people complain about the bed being sags in printing heavy prints and I can confirm that the bed wobbles when some force is applied to it. I will most likely find a way to reinforce the print bed to keep it from sagging as this will definitely be needed if I ever use the full height of the build volume. I'll also be on the lookout for a quieter fan for the control box for sure. (Right now, that's the only thing you can hear from the printer.) Aside from the tedious calibration steps (which you have to do with any printer to keep it working properly), I haven't had any negative experiences with the printer after owning it. I am about two months old when I wrote this review. I would happily recommend this printer to my friends.
