Review on Calibrated Printer Plate with Pre-Assembled Filament (260) by Jon Garcia

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Love The Printer Support seems absent

A few issues but overall I like this after day 1. Pros: 1. It's super quiet: probably the quietest printer I've ever had. 2. It's a fairly simple setup. (except for the fact that you need to change the voltage which I already knew about) FLSUN If you're reading this please make sure you change the voltage to 110 if you're shipping to the US, it just does the setup a little easier. 3 so far I am printing my first test and it is printing well. I used 3D simplification and created my own profile as there is no profile for this printer yet. Cons: The only downside I have is that my SD card doesn't seem to work at all in the printer. I installed it on my computer and it infected my computer with a virus. that the pc was erased quickly but no other sd card was ever read so i need to find out why. I can hook up an Octopi and most of the time I still print from it, but if anyone has any solutions as to why the SD card doesn't work either in the store or the one that came with the printer, please let me know. The USB port on the printer works because Octopi is plugged into it and that's the only way I was able to get a test print. I will most likely revise this review over time. since it's only my first day with the printer. UPDATE: 5/29/18 - So I've got this printer for the weekend now and I have to say I love it. I joined a user group on Facebook and based on the thread I started we found that Octopi is not working due to the touchscreen. I've heard that FLSUN support is currently looking for other screens to use Octopi, but I actually find the touchscreen more useful. In any case, I only use Octopi disabled for the camera. I upgraded from 4 to 5 stars because FLSUN support is very helpful, saw this review and immediately contacted me about the SD card. They told me why the SD card reader wasn't working (the cable was disconnected from the motherboard) and they were right. Easy to fix. Excellent support I highly recommend this printer! I liked it so much that I bought one for my dad the next day. UPDATE 7/6/2018: I came home the other night to find the printer was very jammed. I've only had printers for a few weeks, but I've made 2 20+. hour prints. I had to strip the entire hot end to clear the clog and I tried contacting support to see if I could get a new complete hot end assembly with wiring because I can't find where I can buy it, and assembling this hot end took more trouble than good. I've tried several times to contact support, but there was no answer. What happened?
