Review on πŸ–¨οΈ Sculpto 45010005 PRO2 3D Printer: Unleashing Precision and Performance by Daryl Fitch

Revainrating 2 out of 5

Convenient but a bit pricey

My experience with this printer seems limited. I didn't really have any issues with it, except that a piece of the filament stand broke during assembly, which seems to be a common problem. I'm far from an expert in 3D printing, but I have a resin printer that I've been using for a few months, so I have some experience. This printer comes pre-assembled and can be set up with little effort. The app walks you through everything in fairly simple terms, and if you're still having trouble, there are YouTube videos to show you what to do. When you've aligned everything and inserted the thread, you're done. I would like to point out that this printer only works through a companion app. There are no controls on the printer itself other than the power button, and there is no way to interface it with any other software. This actually scares me a bit because if the app goes down, the printer becomes an overpriced paperweight. I hope this won't happen, but it's possible in the future. The app has a variety of themes to choose from, or you can upload your own STL file. Once you've made your decision, select the quality and support options and click Print. Attached is a photo of a small kite that I chose from the drawings. I printed it in normal quality so you can see the small lines. They're not bad at all and probably won't stand out if the quality is good. The printing process was quiet and efficient. Once that was done I removed the top layer of the assembly which is a thin layer of metal and bent it a bit to get the kite out. No need to scrape or pry it off. I replaced the layer, cleaned it with alcohol and it was ready for the next job. One thing I really dislike is having to use this brand of filament. There are better brands that cost a little less, but using one of these voids my warranty. Overall I like this printer but wish it was a little cheaper overall.
