Review on πŸ”§ Upgraded Extruder Technology Additive Manufacturing Products for Beginners: NantFun by Mark Jefferson

Revainrating 2 out of 5

Cute and overpriced.

I bought this printer for 3D printing and I wanted a small one because I wasn't planning on printing large items. It prints and is easy to set up. However, compared to other printers at the same price, you are really wasting your money. Purchasing this printer made me realize that 3D printing is not that difficult to master. I would like to buy bigger ones because they have better technology and print quality. The price of this printer should be lower. The printer is made of plastic and is very thin, as you would expect. Leveling the bed is easy, but the bed will always be uneven due to the slight incline of the gantry crane, which again is plastic and not very strong hard plastic. As you move the axis you can feel the flex in the plastic, giving you an idea of how pointless it seems to level the bed. It comes with some software that you can find for free on the internet. The noise is pretty low, which is the only good thing about it. 3D printing might seem like a complicated thing and you might want to save money and get such a low budget printer, but I advise you not to do it. Get an ender or something similar. They're only a few dollars more expensive than this thing. Trust me, 3D printing is not as difficult as it sounds and like anything, it requires learning if you plan on learning it to realize its full potential. There are many free printable files on the internet. This printer seems like a good idea but learn from my mistake and keep browsing, watch some test videos to choose the best budget 3D printer. Building them is not too difficult and there are many videos showing people building the printers. This printer prints and does what it says it does, but you will soon find, like me, that a better printer was worth it. It's a good taste test, but you'll love the taste and regret not buying more groceries.

Pros
