I don't know if you still have the printer but, did you try to measure the stuff you print with a caliper? Printing a 20 mm cube I get discrepancies up to 1.2 mm. And they are not constant so I can't do a shit about it. I'm really disgusted by this machine. Even worse, after few months my Ultrabase bed became concave so now I can't print objects bigger than a small central area.

For reasume a print: print > file you are printing before power loss > reasume 👍🏼

[@DreadKnight666]

resume*? xD Good to know though.

[@wormworm580]

This was my first 3d printer and honestly I think it’s a great set of “training wheels” if you want to learn. If you just want a printer that will work perfectly out of the box it’s not for you. Because the mega x is a bit finicky and unreliable, you learn a lot about adjusting print settings, troubleshooting and other useful skills. It’s also not super expensive so you can take the risk of doing repairs yourself without worrying too much about breaking a piece of high end equipment. The size gives you room to grow and experiment. Once it’s served you for a bit you can move on to a better, more expensive printer and you’ll be much more prepared to get the most out of a higher end experience.

This is a great explanation of what I'm experiencing lol, I've had my printer for about a year and a half and It's to the point that while it's able to get the job done I am starting to get unsatisfied with the print quality and the amount of mistakes that will sometimes happen.

[@goggleheroomegamaple820]

ive had one since september of last year and i can say its an excellent printer!

[@MictheVegan]

Apparently you can add G5 to the gcode for power resume :)

[@oldeharbinger]

I've been thinking about this one for my first 3d printer. 3d printing is, kind of, the last "hobby" I haven't gotten into but I've wanted to for a while.

[@Wurstifier]

10:36 you need to put "G5" to your start gcode to activate the power outage support.

[@xenonnati]

i've been using the Mega S for a few months now, it's a fantastic printer for the price!. and the surface it has, it's 100% unnecesary to use painter's tape, glue or anything else if you are printing with PLA, i print at a 60c bed temp and it's practically IMPOSSIBLE to remove while its hot like even at 30c you would have to whack it really hard o get it to detach, once its completely cools down it pops off no problem.. clean it with alcohol and you are god to go on your next one.. i love that bed!

[@locked01]

I disagree.

[@xenonnati]

@@locked01 great argument. care to elaborate?

[@locked01]

@@xenonnati sorry, my mistake, I replied to the wrong comment!

At the start of the video, I had to check my KZbin playback speed settings to see if it's Normal

Hahaha yeah I've gone flash mode there for a moment

@@ELECTRONOOBS Big fan of yours. Keep the good stuff coming. 😘

[@TheDradge]

Good review. Well put together.

[@randystevens2710]

Thank You for your Video. I received my MEGA X 2 days ago, watching many other video's I learned to tighten the rollers on the bottom plate. I am a Newbie to 3D printing so I tried the 2 owls and had No stringing. next I tried a Benchy using Cura, with bad results. So I bought Simplify 3D and tried the same Benchy again. Wow-what a difference it made. I have printed it at 3 different speeds and even the Fast speed looked good. BTW I had printed the 2 owls a total of 3 times and all with good results. Maybe they have made adjustments to my printer different than yours? I also have printed 2 overhang_Angle_Test-30_85 and both med and high quality with the results of an easy 75% overhand without support. I am still doing more tests today as I have much to learn. I am trying to get a better setting to reduce the amount of support needed on a print so I can clean them up easier. Thank You aging for your review

[@robrobinette]

The printer does have a "Resume" function. It is in the menu.

[@colinfielder6695]

I thought that i get better prints with my I3 Mega but I was impressed by the Nylon and Flexible Prints

[@leaderbear6379]

Can you publish your settings for petg because I this printer is my first and I would like to know The settings for petg

[@electronic7979]

Nice designs. I watched with admiration.

[@DJPhilTBCollins]

Rabid fox! Also, always worth making sure the power supply is set properly to your local voltage, 120V/240V.

[@nowheremanjk8624]

Gloves are now a sought after item ;)

[@Punisher1992]

do i have to level the bed manually after putting the printer together?

[@TitoPopoy]

Do you know how to replace the z axis stopper. Mine’s broken

[@doomdoomtv316]

For the print resume you need to type G5 at the end of the gcode

[@vahpr]

Thanks for this review. Regarding the 12v power supply and large bed, is it possible to insulate the bed to allow it to heat faster? Been meaning to look into this. Also, do you have a favorite all-around printer for less than $600?

[@painttheroomred7366]

the power outage setting has to be put in the gcode i believe.

[@ghazimalik]

Is it possible to connect a BLTouch sensor to this printer?

[@markuslimseth8426]

Mosfets to the heated bed/nossle and do not need a cooling fin if the PCB designer use a more expsnsive mosfet with lover internal resistance. But is cheaper with a bad mosfet and small heat sink.

[@benjamin8399]

Hi after 2 years do you think the Mega X is a printer to buy considering its actual price ($265)? Or that a more recent printer is a preferable choice? Tks!

[@miguelvicente4059]

Just got it at 187$ last week

[@ielpineda]

im trying to buy one, what does the usb drive contain? and what software do you use for printing? sorry I never used a 3d printer before

[@cambridgemart2075]

How strong is the flexible material, would it be suitable for power transmission belts for small machines?

[@ELECTRONOOBS]

Not sure. We should put it to the test for that. Also we should try different brands of elastic material...

[@jameswiz]

Can you please help me. I just got my Mega X after seeing your video (thanks btw) and it just arrived with the print head loose. It wobbles up and down as the rollers don't seem right on the rail. I can't seem to find how to tighten them. Can you please tell or show how to do so? Thanks.

[@leaderbear6379]

I have a question for you. Can you please tell me your cura settings for pla and petg

[@GnuReligion]

So did you slow the retraction speed (25-40mm/s)? Increase distance? 6mm? More?

[@LButterballPlays]

is this a good printer?

[@everfreeeeee]

May i know the exact size for the physical printer itself? I wonder of my existing enclosure is big enough for this printer...thx

[@SeekersudiP]

its amazing. & Bro please make a video series on 8051 microcontroller ......

[@danielegger6460]

I don't see a problem with a 12V design if the cabling and the PSU is beefy enough, which seems to be the case here. Also I really like seeing a Meanwell PSU here, seems like a very decent design. Any idea if the MEGA-S is similarly constructed? The X is a bit too large for my taste...

[@chonlatitsanprueksin5917]

Do you have a guide or example to replace TMC2209 V3.0 on anycubic mega-x ?

[@TGFlashera]

You forgot the voltage!

[@hunkbol6154]

coool i like it sir

[@Brad_Jacob]

Would you recommend this over the Ender 3?

[@zero00tolerance]

noooo

[@bbusyflying]

Why ?

[@MacasRides]

any specific settings for PETG you can recommend?

[@LarryBerg]

Is the mega x Marlin or reprap?

[@cberthe067]

I'm looking for Core XY 3D Printer with a printing volume of 40x40x50 (cm) ...

Hello, i like your channel)

[@Utube2Itube]

4:00 I don’t think that’s an error, you probably accidentally selected “add facial beard” in the print settings...

I Have Only One Request from Electronoobs How I Can Programe marlin In Arduino That Is Not Problem How I Can Flash This Firmware (((( The Problem Is how can I configure this Firmware according To Height and motor Change Instead Of Neema 17 )))))

[@ketanmorajker]

Wow👌🏼😲

[@everfreeeeee]

U screw up on printing ABS one because u printing without enclosure to keep the temperature stable on the bed i guess.

[@jacks4321]

Can You Make A One Video On The 3d Electronic Circuit use with Arduino and github code You can Use Hardware Of Any 3d printer which you have but electric component will be change Plzzzzzzzzzz😔😔😔😔😔😔😔😔😔

[@rOSScOGITANS]

Another disaster printer out of the box, i saw on eBay at 165 euro, It needs another 300 euros of upgrades to print silent and decently, thumbs down in my opinion

[@locked01]

I agree. I own it, it is stock and I can't stop complaining about the bad print quality with Anycubic PLA filament. The most terrible thing about this printer is the heated bed itself. The Ultrabase does its job but the bed itself is concave!!! I tried many times to compensate (both with hot and cold bed) but didn't solve my problem. Now I'm thinking to stick up some glass on it but I'm worried about the temperature. Will it get hot enough?

[@neiracorominas]

Vas quedarte sin espacio 🤣🤣🤣

[@rOSScOGITANS]

print quality it's very bad for my standard, the benchy boats are horrible , i had better results with my "old" cr10s

[@Phil-D83]

A bigger i3 mega

[@locked01]

Stringing is a real mystery in this machine. You solve it once and the next time you print it manifests itself again. Awful, seriously. Sometimes I just think that Anycubic needed some money to research and mass produce resin printers so they started selling this crappy machines....
