Review on 🌈 Geeetech Mix Color Extruder Assembly - GIANTARM 220x220x260mm by Christopher Clearfield

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Great value for money but needs some work.

assembly was easy, alignment was easy and I was able to start printing with little effort. Internet directions are for A10, not A10M, and the menu system is slightly different. Something lazy on her part. The filament sensor doesn't always show filament so I disabled it in the menu but it would be great if it worked. The main difference between A10 and A10M is the extruder. The filament drive motor on the A10 appears to be on the extruder, on the A10M on the crossbar. This interferes with the spool holders, which appear to be the same as the A10. The coil rubs against the sensor. Solution. Print a spool holder using bearings, bypass and retrofit. The main problem is the wires going to the extruder, they sag due to gravity and on a few small parts when the printer puts the filament in front of the bed it can stretch and knock over individual objects. For now, I used a skewer and zip ties to hold the wires (see image). Something new for design and print. Both is not a mug and this printer is an upgrade over my previous printer. Still a value considering the price, it might be rushed to fit things into an existing model without considering some practicalities. Knowing what I know now I would still buy it based on the specs for the money.

Pros
  • handy item
Cons
  • so far so good
