Review on πŸ–¨οΈ KELANT 3D Printer with Z-Axis Printing Screen by Stephen Parkell

Revainrating 1 out of 5

Leaks/Waste of Money/Time/Resources

Must edit this review to place a 1 month ownership warning. - 1 star for mechanical problems. No seal to prevent resin from leaking out and destroying the machine! A drop of resin on the edge of the LCD may burn the LCD and/or circuit board -1 for print quality. High resolution and high speed, but requires heavy overexposure to print reliably. Typically 150-200% exposure test time for reliable printing (UV fluctuations?). Print 3x calibration prints with the same settings and all 3 show different results (1 severely overexposed, 1st underexposed, 3rd accurate). Got through 5-6 FEPs before realizing the occasional underexposure failed. Small details are lost due to the need for severe overexposure. The FEP is corrupted due to a reprint error. -1 star for quirks/adjustment. The build platform has a completely flat top which leaves a large amount of resin on the board (also a few holes, the mounting plate for the bracket, which contain more resin). All other resin printers I've owned have an angled top plate for drainage. (You could try printing a "lid" on it to make this easier.) Cymbal attachment. The tub slides over the LCD under two hooks, which are then screwed in from above. This is a very delicate process (with a 1/4" gap for the gap). I do not recommend this printer or this brand to anyone. I would knock the phone out of the hands of anyone trying to buy it before me.

Pros
  • Double Linear Guide: The Z-axis uses the combination of double linear guide + screw motor + anti-backlash nut, which improves the stability of the Z-axis and makes the operation more stable. and eliminates the print layer line
Cons
  • boring packaging
