This is my first 3D Printer and I have to be honest... it took MINUTES to set this up and start printing. It came with everything I needed, including 4 rolls of PLA in different colors, a camera, enclosure as well as various tools from snips, to grease, to glue. The machine itself was packed amazingly securely and padded very, very well and it survived the trip even though one of the box handles was torn and missing.
It has spent 7 or 8 hours printing already and so far, so good. It's making nice, clean prints and while I expected a lot of layer line ugliness, it's just not there. The app works, the desktop app works and the printer is FAR more quiet thanI imagined. Heck, my laser printer makes more noise!
The shipping was fast. The price was right. It has printed both PLA and PETG so far in different colors with zero issues. This is a fun machine and I hope it continues to serve me well into the future.
The shopping experience with Flashforge was great, customer service is prompt (nothing big, minor shipping question) and friendly. This is 5 stars for me right now as everything is right and good from the enclosure, to the printing, to the plate and bed to the camera. Can't wait to start testing the 0.25mm nozzle for some specialty stuff.
I'd buy again if this holds up.
