Review on 🖌️ Boost Your Creativity with TMC2208 Extruder Hobbyists Printer by Eric Wohlman

Update: My x stepper motor is slipping a bit causing some layers to shift. The belt is ok, the electronics are ok. I ordered a new motor for 10€. As with every printer in this price range, you can look forward to a repair/upgrade. I am still very happy with this printer. I've been thinking about buying a printer for my school and if I do I will choose the CY300 over the Ender 3 Pro v2. First Review: This printer is great. It performs better than my Ender 3 Pro and has a much larger build volume. All stepper motors are very quiet, as are the fans. If the retraction is set too high, the extruder motor squeaks annoyingly. I would suggest no more than 2mm at 35mm/s for retraction. After leveling, I found that a bit of hairspray on the bed helped initial clothing sticking. A few more things to note: the spool holder is a corner mount only, so be prepared to print something better once this thing is up and running. Some M5x25 screw heads were deformed and did not fit the hex key. I had extras that I used. The X-axis belt bearing was attached using T-nuts, not M4x16 bolts as stated in the instructions. One of my prints broke the cooling channel, so I ended up designing and printing a new (better) one. It's available on Thingiverse. You get a whopping 50g of filament, so be sure to order a spool if you don't already have one. Overall I am very happy with this purchase. I've been using it continuously for a month and it works fine. I am attaching photos of some of the math models I designed and printed on this machine.
