FLSUN V400 Runs Circles Around The Competition - Delta 3d Printer

[@voxelpla]

I am here from VOXELPLA, if you need any assistance please let me know.

[@jon9947]

Is your filament made in the USA?

[@1trickpwny]

@@jon9947 From their About Us page, "We are a 3d printing company located in Southern California running 150 machine print farm that exclusively uses VOXELPLA. We created VOXELPLA to solve our issues with sourcing reliable and affordable filament; throughout the years, we have tested countless filament brands, but none offered the reliability that we needed at an affordable price, so we had to create our own."

[@voxelpla]

@@jon9947 Hello Jon, our filament is produced overseas, but we maintain tight control of the production and run it in our print farm to ensure the best quality and reliability. If there is a problem, we will know about it first before any problematic units get out to the world.

[@jon9947]

@@voxelpla Thanks, I think I'll pass. I can buy high quality China made PLA on Amazon for cheaper. If it was actually made in the USA I would buy from you, I enjoy supporting local business.

[@jon9947]

@@1trickpwny Thats all marketing BS, I asked it the way I asked it because there is a big difference between being a US company and a US producer. I am all for making money, but the only thing Voxel is doing is slapping their label on another brand and marketing it. Its not actually made in the US, and if I am buying imported filament then I would rather save a dollar and cut out the middle man. I am sure it is good PLA, it is very hard to make bad PLA.

I just got my V400, and I must say, it's great that someone finally made a serious, no compromises, delta! The delta is really a great platform, but it really requires a first rate effort to be made for it to shine, and not to be a nightmare.

A little lube in the wires or wire sheath will make it a lot easier to slide through.

[@daliasprints9798]

Regarding scraping and infill type, all self-intersecting infill patterns scrape because the slicers don't compensate for the crossings. Gyroid avoids that. Some other patterns avoid it too but AFAIK gyroid is the only one of them that's strong in all directions.

[@whywouldyoucareaboutmyname6610]

Zig zag and lines work well

[@REDxFROG]

[@baretlyon2601]

Gyroid was designed for squirting in resin.

[@darmichar73]

Thank you. Seriously never thought of that. I use grid or cubic all the time and often hear the 'grinding' noise of it crossing the previous pattern.

[@REDxFROG]

May I tell you a secret: you are printing the infill too fast if that happens . You are exceeding the maximum flow of the hotend. You don't believe? Well, you can try it slow for once, right? ^^ You're welcome 😉

[@CharmPeddler]

Great video. Couple things. 1. Bed size: 300mm diameter circle would equate to 212x212mm square (fit inside the circle) Plus the obvious extra domes on each side of the square. 2. I really love that they have the lights built into the head. I feel like if we put some basic diffusers on them it would more easily spread out the light and have less triangular glare spots.

[@jlcurtis94]

light Diffusers, I'm gonna add that to my design and build list when my v400 comes in, Thank you

[@harryhalfmoon]

Thank you for this review. I like you loose style. And the color grading on this video is very nice!

[@MisterkeTube]

How does it compare against the Bambu Labs X1 Carbon? Size, speed, special materials (read: enclosure) and just ease-of-use? Sure, one is core-xy and the other delta, but both of these seem like speed-demons that don't require much (or any) tinkering and seem similarly priced, so I think running them against each other would make sense ...

[@kilianlindlbauer8277]

The bamboo is better suited for fully automated and difficult filaments. The flsun is larger in build size, but slower in default spec, but the x1 similarly fast in normal mode, but faster in ludicrous (just like tesla i think) mode. With that said, you can easily increase the speed (acceleration) with a push of a button to totally bonkers values. For example my direct drive SR runs at 12,5k acceleration and has minimal ringing without input shaper. If i would increase stepper current and acceleration, i think it will beat the bamboo in terms of speed. Since its klipper, you can easily edit these values. My fastest benchy took 22min with said acceleration.

[@MisterkeTube]

@@kilianlindlbauer8277 So your fastest benchy with tweaking is still slower than the default Bambu one? Surprising. Raw speed and acceleration would be the thing where I'd expect a delta to beat the Bambu. What I feel is missing on the V400 is an enclosure. I guess you cannot simply have panels between each pair of side-legs without the effector hitting them, right? And having that big height and the motors above that also is annoying if what you want to do is to keep the print which is near the bottom warm and don't want the motors to heat up. I love the look of a delta and the simplicity of a stationary bed at the bottom, but if I start to think about some of the technical points needed for stuff other than PLA, then I think Core XY still has some major benefits.

[@kilianlindlbauer8277]

@@MisterkeTube as i said, not pushing the limit, my belts are at the end of their life. Stepper current is still normal at not even one amp. Feed rate was set to 275 for all except first layer, thats at 50 and minimum layer time set to 4s. After replacing the belts i will up the motor current to 1,5 amp and acceleration to 20k, later to 25k. In therms of feedrate i have no limit since im using a rapido uhf.

😅 I guess we will see if I'm classified as an absolute giant 😉 can't wait to buy my own V400!! Love my super racer and I am such a fan girl of my first delta printer that has blown away my other Ender printer by leaps and bounds!! Thanks for this review 👍

[@MyTechFun]

About dragging sound, it appears when you are using grid infill, we have lines on one direction and then on same height lines in other direction (nozzle touch previous lines). Gyroid is good to avoid this, but I like to use ZIG-ZAG infill (more stright lines). There are no line crossings on same layer. (experience from FLSUN SR). To understand this better, analyze one layer printing in Cura preview. (delta don't have that stright plane movement in XY direction as cartasians or corexy)

[@bujin5455]

5:20. This only took me three minutes. I cut off a piece of PLA that was just over twice as long as the length of the channels (so I could double it over). The USB / power cable has a cable capture on it, to keep them bound together. I just ran my PLA between the power and USB cable (just behind the cable capture), then taped the two ends of the PLA together, fed the taped end down the channel, and pulled the cable through. Easy peasy. (PLA is MUCH better choice than Ninja flex, because you don't want your fish to flex and bind in the channel.)

[@twistedsocal]

That sounds believe it or not is actually the stepper motors at certain speeds. The one that sounds like it's grinding on the print. If it was actually grinding that hard it would yank the print. Gyroid just changes the actual speed that the motors can move so kinda knocks the sound out

[@Thomas-ss1iu]

Looking fantastic. Like some others have said, I feel like it needs to be enclosed. Or at least have the option to buy an enclosure or something. Having a direct drive all metal hot end is fantastic, but it's main purpose would be for use with alternate materials. I'd love to buy one, just not sure I'd get the use out of it just yet with my 9 other printers. The speed is great, though I may settle with the SR as the V400 doesn't come back in stock in the UK until October! Great review!

[@ishudshutup]

Could you do a comparison between the v400 and Bambu p1p? In many markets the v400 is hovering near the $750 range so they're definitely cost rivals and being two of the fastest printers on the market, would be interesting to see actual prints from both.

One question, I need to print large format pieces where print quality doesn't matter much, but time is pressing, I'm between the elegoo neptune 3 max and this one. Bearing in mind that this one may require sectioning off larger pieces and waiting for the glue to dry when joining them, I'll still be able to get my pieces faster with this one than waiting for it to print in one piece in the elegoo even if it has a .8 mm extruder?

[@bepstein111]

I think using the old slicers that come with printers is just a bad idea. A) Maybe I'm wrong, but the first thing I do when I get a new printer is make sure I have the latest version of my preferred slicer and then look for built-in profiles or profiles on the manufacturers website. B) using known old software with known bugs that have probably been fixed already. I see the slicer they come with as a bare minimum effort for people who don't have decent or constant internet access to be able to use the printer immediately until they can get a proper, up-to-date slicer.

[@BrianBoniMakes]

Get over the linear rails, most products are using them more for fashion than any good reason. Round rails can have much lower friction and are easier to clean than square ones. Sure for heavy loads but something with minimal force like a 3D printer I'd rather see the round rails. Same with lead screws, if the load is always on one side like in a delta printer I'd rather have the simpler lead screw than the heavier and more complex ball screw.

[@PeasantHunter]

Agreed, linear rods are the right choice for a delta printer.
