Comgrow T300 - A beautiful 3D printer with awful settings. (fixable!)

[@Tanner3D]

Thank you so much for printing and sharing the VSV man and yours turned out fantastic!

[@BV3D]

Thanks for designing it, Rickie! It's a superb model!

[@getbent57]

That VSV model turned out awesome. Adding that to my make list.

[@BV3D]

Cool! I hope you have as much fun printing & building it as I did!

[@StewKeto3DPrinting]

I might need to give this printer a try, since I'm a huge Sovol fan and have more than a handful of their printers (I'm really digging my SV07). Digging the puns, too! "Benchy-shaped object" is my new favorite phrase. I'll have to watch Sovol's build video, since I'm very curious about the back side of the printer and I didn't catch any views of it.

Keep the bad jokes coming! You’re on fire big daddy Bryan!! Gotta love orca slicer coming to the rescue!

[@BV3D]

Yeah I'm glad it had settings for the T500.

[@gerGoPrint3D]

Great video, amazing looking VSV model! I published well tuned Orca Slicer profiles in my recent video about the T300, including much improved pre-print macros by Christian Vick. I don't really recommend the stock T500 Orca presets, since that machine has very different acceleration/jitter values and even the extruder/nozzle is different, so the retraction values also need to be customized for the T300. I am so happy to see you like this printer too!

[@BV3D]

I will go check out your video! Thanks @gerGoPrint3D !

You always have the best tee shirts I think I need that one

[@BV3D]

Thanks! I get most of them as birthday or Christmas gifts from my wife and kiddo.

[@Gorilla_Jones]

I've got two T500s and they're awesome so far. Huge prints.

[@elsap75]

Thanks - hood video. Do all 3 axis have linear bearings? What is inside the Z-columns? Screws or belts? It is correct that only one of the 2 columns Z-axis has a drive?

[@TsiolkovskySportingLocks]

Great video as alwaty, I guess my only niggle is that I would quite like to have seen a benchy done using Orca slicer. Just so we could get a direct comparrison between that and the Comgrow cura slicer. But the car is so cool.

[@BV3D]

Great suggestion! I wish I had thought to do that!

[@evidentloss]

I love the run-out jokes!!!!

[@BV3D]

Haha! Thanks!

[@William3DP]

Thank you for this nicely balanced review. I am a bit disappointed that so many of the consumer-level printer manufacturers are still obsessed with these open-frame bedslinger PLA/PETG/TPU printers that really are not much different than the printers of a few years ago. I really like Sovol; my Sovol SV05 printer (which is basically a nicely upgraded Creality Ender 5 Pro) has served me well until I replaced it with a Qidi X-Max 3 (which is also serving me well) but I wish they would move on to more capable printers that can print other materials besides PLA, PETG, and TPU. I doubt that I will ever buy another non-enclosed printer again.

[@haliflix]

Hello, I have been fighting mine since I got it on Thursday. I cannot find any slicer settings that will print without major underside issues

[@henrymach]

Are all those companies donating generously to the Klipper project? You youtuber dudes that have a big audience should be calling them out on that

[@ronm6585]

Thanks Bryan.

[@JohnDStrand]

I was waiting for the Ether Bunny Joke!

[@username9774]

Will you do a review of the sv8? love the puns so far

[@Dashrendar2507]

Never stop the runout sensor joke, Bryan.

[@Luptonium]

Is it sad I wish we got the build video because we missed out quality puns....

[@drpc98014]

is anyone besides myself having problems in getting this printer to work, I'm a new owner and after 2 months I've had it with this thing. numerous print fails. And yes I've done countless setup and tuning cycles. Am I the only one or have others been fooled into buying one only to have fail after fail after fail?

[@uvz6539r]

Here for the jokes

[@adrianfidler1169]

The print finish on all the prints looks terrible. Layer lines, ringing etc.

[@Gorilla_Jones]

Like anything you have to tweak. I have two T500, the big brother of this printer and my prints at .16 look like injection molding.

[@genericyoutuber3394]

I am struggling to see why anyone would want this printer today. It's an "okay" printer in a sea of "okay" printers. Having a larger print bed is selling point, but the over printer is just average. I think the markets has spoken -we want high quality printers that print all the time at a competitive price point. This printer is fighting to staying relevant in market that has drastically changed in the last two years.

[@prytosan]

Quality looks tragic
