XYZ Printing da Vinci 1.0 Pro 3D printer, Open Filament, 300g ABS filament, maintenance tools, modelling software, and video tutorials, Upgradable Laser Engraver, 20x20x20cm Built Vol.

I've had my Da Vinci Pro for just over 3 months now. For the price, if you're after something of good build quality, with as little work to get it ready, this is the printer for you. For the price, I think it's perfect. I spend about 5 months researching 3D printers before I made my purchase, so I already knew what I was doing when I started using it. I recommend anyone who wants to get into 3D printing to do the research first before making your choice. There are cheaper printers on the market. The majority are either smaller, you have to build them yourself, and/or they are not an enclosed system. I've had kit systems before, and they are not for me. I wanted something pre-built, and for the price I think this is the best on the market currently. The Pro model can use third party filaments without the need to "Hack" the XYZ Filament cartridges as with the other models. To some the temperature range can be limiting, But for the normal types of filaments the Beginner-Average person would be using, This would be no problem at all. I've had no major problems with my printer, That being said there's going to be things that need adjusting that can be worrying if you haven't done your research and know how to fix them when they happen. I have since upgraded several parts of my printer like the cable protectors, and added a hot end mounted filament cooling fan. The great thing about this printer is that the online community for the Da Vinci Pro is actually fairly established. There's a lot of users out there, and we all go through the same problems here and there, so there's more information online about fixing problems than from the actual manufacturers. That being said, if your printer is within warranty, Keep the box in case it needs to be sent back. You have to bare in mind that this is still classed as a low end 3D printer.. but a high end one at that. I was originally after a Zortrax M200, But they start at roughly £1500. For what I'm using the printer for, I couldn't justify spending that amount of money. I feel that the price of the Da Vinci Pro is extremely good. The print bed size is actually huge. 20x20x20 That's big. I measured everything up before ordering, and I was still surprised by how big the machine itself was. This thing is beefy, and really heavy. But I like that. It does not shake around while printing or anything. I would recommend this printer to anyone that wants to get into 3D printing. [EDITED] It's now 5 months since I bought my printer, and the Extruder was failing one me because of a really cheap bushing on the Idler Bearing (It's made from aluminum, so it just wears away) XYZ Customer services were more than unhelpful. I opened a case with them, send them videos and photos of the problem, after 4 weeks of communication, They basically got back to me and said there was nothing wrong with the machine, and closed the case. Frankly I know that their customer services were terrible to begin with, I was mainly opening a case just to see if they would send the parts out to me. In the end I found a new designed Extruder Assembly on Thingiverse, and I printed that out, and built my own Extruder Assembly, works perfectly. Still keeping this at a 5* printer review because 3D printing at this price range is basically a modding community. We're all making improvements to our printers, and over time you will feel more confident designing components yourself, which I am now doing. I've now replaced the cable snake, added cooling fans, a new print bed. At some point in the future I will be changing the hot end to the E3D-V6 Hot End, to which there is also a community created assembly model on Thingiverse.

So overall I think this printer is a great place to start if you've never done 3D printing in the past. As with any new machine, before you fully understand it, it will definitely be a difficult journey. Lets start with the pros, and then move onto the cons later. PROS: 1) It's all pretty much plug and play apart from the calibration. The whole thing is literally ready to go as soon as it's calibrated, and even comes with a couple pre-installed test files which you can run without even connecting a computer. 2) Pretty straight forward set up, just put the CD in, install the drivers, and you're pretty much good to go. 3) Plenty of options to mess around with to get the print that you require, such as different qualities and speeds. 4) Comes with all the programs you might need to get started, all of which are pretty straight forward, so you don't have to dig around online when you don't even know what you're looking for. 5) It looks very aesthetically pleasing. Not like those messy DIY built out of pipes, tape and cardboard ones. So even in a very organised home it will look perfect. CONS: 1) Sadly there's pretty much no support from XYZ, some claim that they get a reply pretty quickly, but honestly the majority insist that you'll be waiting about a month for a reply, and most of the time they won't send any replacement parts or give any actual advice apart from "here's 2 minutes youtube video that might help" and then you wait another month if it didn't help. Worst case scenario they'll just ask you to send it back for inspection and repair, at your own cost (which is really, really expensive). 2) There are many much better slicing programs out there for preparing projects for print, however XYZ has decided to not allow the use of any of these, you're stuck using their version of the program, which honestly I won't say is terrible, it's really not, it does most of the things you want, not always the way you want it, but it gets it done. Sadly that means you're stuck using their software. (There are ways to Flash the entire printer and make it completely open source, which is not simple, but it is possible, sort of like "unlocking" it so you can use it to its full potential) 3) This printer is advertised as "open system filament" which honestly means nothing. XYZ has their own brand of filament, which is about 3 times as expensive as other filament, it comes in a cartridge which counts exactly how much you used. with the Da Vinci Pro 1.0 you can use a 3rd party filament, however it will constantly let you know that they don't like it, and that your prints will be bad, which in a way is kind of true, because it feels like as soon as you put a 3rd party filament in the printer, suddenly all your prints go really bad, but they work perfectly with other printers. Also there is no spool holder for 3rd party filaments, so you'll have to make your own. Overall it may sound like I have much more to say about the cons of this printer, but that's only because they're more worth noting than the pros. On the positive side, the printer works well and has a lot of potential, there's a few ways to modify it to work well for your needs if you are willing to put the time into it. In the short run, it's a really exciting piece of machinery, in the long run, you'll either be disappointed, or you'll mod it yourself to fit your needs, but keep in mind that you're on your own, together with all of us, XYZ probably won't help you. Personally, I like it.

Dèbutant dans l'impression 3D ,Je suis satisfait de mon achat . Un temps d'adaptation est necessaire mais dans l ensemble elle est simple d'utilisation . De contruction solide à confirmer dans le temps Elle occupe un volume à prendre en considération

Muy buena impresora y soporta filamentos de terceros

Hallo ich habe mir diesen 3D Drucker gekauft für (450€) und ich bin total begeistert. Er ist super zu kalibrieren wenn man es 1-2 mal gemacht hat ist dies in weniger als 10 min passiert. Druckt sehr sauber leider hält das mit gelieferte Filament nicht so gut auf dem Tape ich nutze nur PLA von German RepRap und als Tape Flexiebles Malerband von Tesa der Druck hält Bomben fest. Das XYZ Filament richt sehr unangenehm da ABS, aber sehr schön sie legen 120 Meter Filament bei ( Rot ) W-LAN funktioniert wunderbar. Die Slicersoftware ist gut nicht perfekt aber Inordnung, soft- und Firmware sind am Anfang auf Englisch nach Update auf deutsch die Betriebsanleitung ist auf Englisch. Er hat schon 33 Stunden Betriebszeit läuft wunderbar. Fazit wer nichts aufbauen will und nicht lange kalibrieren will ist hier genau richtig der ideale Drucker. Update 27.02 nach 330 druckstunden läuft er noch problemlos

Stampante 3d non per principianti qualità del prodotto ottima le guide dove scorre l ugello testina sono in acciaio con boccole di qualità e resistente all usura, testina intercambiale in due secondi si estrae tutto piatto riscaldato inserimento pla con sistema automatico di caricamento ecc ho calibrato la stampante in manuale per avere maggiore precisione il sistema possiede la calibrazione in automatico ho avviato la stampa senza PC con i file caricati in prova ottima stampa servizio del venditore ed Amazon eccellente

L'imprimante fonctionne très bien, elle par contre compliquée à paramétrer. La mise à niveau automatique du lit d'impression semble ne pas fonctionner correctement, prévoir de le faire manuellement (tutos dispo sur youtube). Je n'ai pas réussit a imprimer de l'ABS qui n'adhère pas au lit, aucun soucis par contre avec du PLA. Il est possible d'utiliser des bobines qui ne sont pas de chez XYZ printing, Prévoyez par contre d'imprimer un support à bobine pour votre imprimante et à bricoler un peu (la encore des models sont dispos sur internet et notement chez thingiverse). Je ne recommande pas à un débutant qui aura du mal à faire fonctionner l'engin.
