Review on ๐Ÿ–จ๏ธ JGAURORA A5S 305x305x320mm Filament Detection: Advanced Filament Sensing Technology for Precise Printing by William Stewart

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Solid construction with great features and quality

This is my fourth A5 3D printer from JGAurora and my 14th 3D printer. I create and sell various products, so my printers are used a lot. After using Creality's CR-10 mini through CR-10S printer series for the first time, I became frustrated with the constant setup these models required for my day-to-day use. It seemed like I had 2-3 printers every week with issues ranging from clogs to crashes and extruder issues. Since I switched to JGAurora, I no longer have these problems. In 4 months of printing on A5 and now A5S I've only had one clog and so far no extrusion issues. Unlike the other brand I used, this required an almost immediate switch to a metal extruder. I had an auto sensor problem with my original A5 and after emailing support they told me the new sensors work much better so they sent me a brand new improved sensor the next day. Starting from this model, all new devices have a more reliable touch system. BDG (Black Diamond Glass) is great. The print area of 12 x 12 inches is very good. Gone are also the days of using hairspray and tape to stick to your body. The first thing to think about is making sure your bed is level. Once the print is complete, simply wait for the platform to cool to 30 degrees Celsius and it will instantly release from your fingers. NO TOOLS NEEDED! A5S upgrades from A5: New improved motherboard Brighter and easier to read LCD Front SD card (A5 had side USB stick) Filament sensor updated and positioned higher, requiring less PTFE tubing. All A5 printers had 4 wires) The print quality is excellent right out of the box, but like all 3D printers, sometimes you need to do some minor tweaking and adjustments to get even better and smoother results. 2 pictures are from the attached test prints from the setup straight out of the box. No settings except orientation. The A5S is now my GO-TO printer for all my printing needs.
