Review on ๐Ÿ–จ๏ธ JGAURORA Upgraded A5S 3D Printer - Pre Assembled | Large Build Volume of 305x305x320mm by Keith Gonzales

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Improved A5 size, good value for money

I'm not new to 3D drawing, this is my fourth printer and my second JGAurora. This upgraded printer is much quieter than the A5, loads filament much easier and becomes a real workhorse. Of course, removing the blue masking tape from the platform takes longer than assembling the car, but I prefer the glass platform. I use masking tape for PETG, I don't need it for PLA printing. Assembly is quick and easy and comes with Allen keys plus an extra bit, thumbwheels and nuts in case you drop one on a shaggy carpet. There is also a USB cable to connect to a computer, hopefully it will work better than the one that came with my first machine. Alignment was fairly easy and I used a micrometer to align the gantry to within 0.001mm on the sides. The first print was a folding llama using the filament that came with the device and the results were as expected, very very good, the joints flexed as they should and the print quality at 0.2mm was better than expected. Overall, the improvements made to this printer are worth the money. Granted it doesn't have an auto-leveling feature, the rear thumbwheels are tricky to reach without flipping the printer over, but once leveled it'll print plenty of toys for distribution over the coming holiday season. I am very happy with this machine and look forward to many hours of printing. You will also be happy when you have removed all the tape from the bed.

Pros
  • Great for me
Cons
  • No instructions
