FLSUN 3d Printer DIY Kit Square Full Metal Auto Leveling printing size 260X260X350 with Auto Level heated Bed Precision

A great printer, up and running within about six hours of opening the box. I think a total beginner may struggle putting it together, but that the same for any DIY printer. It comes with extensive instructions on the included SD card (and reader). Test prints with PLA are as good as my old Prusa machine (a BQ Hephestos). I bought it as a base to upgrade from and I think that it will be perfect for that.Some tools included in the box (allen keys, a screw driver). A better set of allen keys, a small adjustable spanner, some extra zip ties and some wire cutters / strippers are probably the minimum extra tools required.Pros in no particular order-Everything included in the box. Plenty of spare nuts and bolts.-No faulty components, all parts accurately fabricated and fitted together without needing any fettling-Thorough instructions. Written in 'Chinglish' but so many pictures and references included. Also a lot of guidance on setting up the software and calibrating the printer.-Well designed generally. Very stable, Im printing accurately at 80mm/s and havent hit the limit yet.-No printed parts - all plastic parts injection moulded or cut 4mm pespex and much stronger for it.-Easy to calibrate. Leveling the bed to within 0.01mm took about 5mins (using Repetier Host's heightmap as a guide)-Heated bed heats up far quicker than my old mk3 heatbedCons (genuinely struggling)-No x or y belt tensioners. Ill design some and put them on Thingiverse eventually-No part cooling fan. A design is already on Thingiverse which uses a 20mm axial (blower) fan-Noisy board cooling fans. Ill replace them with a 120mm fan and put the design on Thingiverse-Noisy power supply fan. Its temperature controlled though, so not always on.-No CAD model of the printer available that I can find - makes designing new parts a bit harder-Not much online about this printer. A small community forum on Thingiverse with a few seemingly helpful people

Clear & easy instructions, built in about 24 hours,all the bits in separate bags, all marked with sizes, spare nuts and bolts.It arrived much earlier than expected and I've already done some serious printing with it, it's a joy!I haven't had this much fun since I grew out of my scalextric 40 years ago.So far I've printed PLA and PET, no problems with 245C for the PET or 70C for the bed (which both heat up really quickly and stay pretty stable during the print).I'm still having trouble with the bed auto-leveling but that's a Marlin issue, the bed is quite flat and it's not too hard to get it relatively level without the automatics.The inductive Z sensor seems to be a bit temperature sensitive and works best when it's been heated by the bed for a while.See if you can spot my mod to the bed, the final photo shows it intact and working although it needs a bit of tidying up.(cork tile as insulator on the bottom).

I wasn't sure about this kit. It has it's faults - all very minor (for example some of the bolts for bolting brackets to the aluminium frame are a little too short, so a work-around is needed). I like FLsun - seem very responsive. If you want to buy a 3D printer, plug it in, and print stuff, then this printer isn't for you! If you want to learn about 3D printing, perhaps upgrade bits, mess about with software, wires, connectors, etc - then this is the best way to learn! But don't underestimate the amount of learning to be done! I'm a keen electronics and software nerd, and it took me some time to sort it enough to make good prints! But it's been a blast learning it all!

Brought this printer and can’t get the feeder to, can’t find any customer support numbers any.

I was not sure about this at first but the size of the print bed is what sold me on it that been said the quality of the parts are good and other than some small adjustment to some parts they fit together nice, The instructions that came with it was manly in picture form so easy to understand.I had a little misunderstanding with the seller about the screen that i had got and he was more than happy to sort it for me (one of the best communications i have had with a seller) not really more i can say other than it is and does what i wanted

Product looks nice'n'sturdy. Just got printer built after about 6 hours. Needed some info from seller, got great friendly service. Now just need to find something awesome to print off thingyverse. :-)UPDATE: started my first print.. Kept having to check up on the printer to see if it had failed printing. 😕It hardly makes a noise😊. So smooth and quiet. My old prusa i3 belts and steppers make a racket whilst moving its own 3d printer music noise depending on direction its going lol. With this cube even standing next to it its hardly making a noise. Cooling Fan is the loudest noise. So sweet. 😊

A fantastic 3D printer; it has a huge print area, excellent precision and it has a really well thought out design. It is quite challenging to set up, but the nature of its design allows easy modification if needed/wanted. I am very happy with this purchase.
