JG Maker Artist D IDEX Analysis & Feedback T3DP

[@3Drcnc]

Great video as always and congrats on hitting 16k subs. You really deserve it. Also thanks for getting me into 3d printing over a year ago. Just passed 100 subs myself. Always looking forward to your streams!

Hello Nery, This Bill from JGMaker. Nice video for that, and really thanks for your suggestion.

[@nerys71]

I hope the kickstarter works well I think the machine has a lot of potential just a few little minor tweaks :-)

[@JGAURORA3dprinter]

@@nerys71 Hello chris, our kickstarter has finished, we have raised $500,000 , and now I am super busy to arrange everything

[@jean-pierrekuntz6518]

@@JGAURORA3dprinter Hope you can fix the few points @Nerys pointed out...

[@aos7194]

Impeccable review!

[@CaliberMengsk]

@nerys I had a similar problem on my current printer where there would be times where the layers would seem to be extruding too much and then later would barely print one layer, and then continue working fine. This ended up being heat creep that only reared it's head every once in a while. I attached the hot end cooling fan better to the upper end and it works fine now. So it could be inadequate cooling for the hot ends themselves.

[@nerys71]

Definitely not heat creep with the jet turbines they are using for fans :-) hehehe

[@3DHP]

Thanks for the video Nerys .I hope they listen to your feedback.

[@zpepe]

Hey If i didn't know any better I would say you waited for the campaign to be over before posting this video!! Either way great detailed feedback/suggestions. Thank you

[@nerys71]

Yes I did. I did not want to be an influence positive or negative on their campaign. that would be irresponsible. The live stream contains 100% of this information but its "mixed in" this video is "ALL" feedback and analysis. to a new user unfamiliar with such videos this can come off unduly negative in nature when that is not its intent or purpose.

[@3dcreations456]

@@nerys71 honestly, I think it would it would of been fine if you released it before the campaign ended. Negative or positive, everyone should be able to make a judgment on what they choose to agree or not. I've seen some reviewers get bashed on for finding flaws, some would say, well that's only an exception "as mine didn't have any problems". Withholding info isn't always a positive, maybe for the company's but not anyways good for consumers to find out info late to make an informed decision. None the less, great information.

[@nerys71]

@@3dcreations456 like I said nothing was withheld everything in this video exists in life stream as well the problem with this videos of formatting if you watch it out of context you'll think it's a very negative video and that is my responsibility

[@nerys71]

@@3dcreations456 That's not how it works though. and since "I KNOW" that is not how it works its dishonest of me to abuse that. Once again. I will reject this every time you say it. I did not withhold any information. you are wrong to say so. 100% of this information was in a previously released video (but under a different CONTEXT that would not automatically be seen as negative by many end users) THIS video could be seen as PURELY negative (that is how many lay people see analysis/feedback videos when they don't understand what they are ie context) from the perspective of a non knowledgeable person the entire video is "negative" because I am talking about only things that need to be fixed even though its not INTENDED to be negative in fact my opinion of the machine is very positive (which I also tend to not focus on for the very same reason) My objective is to bring information to people without bias and let them draw their own conclusions without any agenda or bias on my part. THIS VIDEO is biased by the nature of what it is especially if its not understood what it is.

On the crap bed springs, I love the FYSETC Silicone stand offs. I have them on 3 Creality printers. Still get a little give for nozzle crashes and what not, but does not allow a lot of bed movement vs. springs. I don't know why they aren't more popular, but ill never use springs on a bed again.

[@nerys71]

I think the primary reason is that the quality control and precision of the parts would have to be better in order for solid mounts to work properly and abl would have to be better implemented

[@BrianSmith-le6uy]

Good video, i like the printer but the front control panel faceplate is ugly and makes the printer look cheap, they really should improve that

[@3dpprofessor]

There is a pro version that, for an additional $85, you get an upgraded full color touch screen panel, as well as optical endstops and a few other bells and whistles.

[@nerys71]

I really hope they send one out. having two IDEX machines would make me weep with pleasure :-)

[@3dpprofessor]

@@nerys71 I wouldn't hold my breath. Unless you backed the kickstarter at the Pro add on level, of course.

[@elmariachi5133]

Is there a slicing mode for making both heads work at one big print at once for twice the speed? Maybe with an adjustable overlap in the middle, which offsets each layer, for better print stability..

[@nerys71]

Sadly that is not possible because while the heads are independent they have a shared y axis so they can only move independently on x this is why I duplication and mirroring are possible because the Y movements are the same

[@3dcreations456]

Awesome feedback! Do you think they will made those changes in production?

[@nerys71]

I honestly don't know. I hope they take some of the advice. though some of these can also be fixed simply with good instructions as well. We shall see.

[@3dcreations456]

@@nerys71 i really like your detailed explanation, the purge bucket placements and the fixed middle bed improvements, hopefully they will improve. Improvements only prevent problems.

[@mr.simulator4724]

Hi can you do a review between the TL-D3 PRO vs JGMAKER ARTIST-D

[@nerys71]

What is the TLD 3 Pro? Keep in mind I can't afford to just buy printers they would have to send me one for me to do a comparison

[@mr.simulator4724]

@@nerys71 Its basically the same 3d printer spec wise with a few minor differences like glass hotbed. You could just buy it on amazon, do a review and comparison and then just return it back to amazon. I call it review on a budget. There are barely any videos of it because it also just came out not long ago. I want to know if I should get that one or preordeer this jgmaker

[@dariogabriellipicar9571]

Thanks for the video! I'd love to see more while I wait for my Artist-D to arrive! Do you believe the inconsistent extrusion might be related to what Kersey Fabrications found? (kzbin.info/www/bejne/p5XOhaiQZbtkmcU). Some people were worried that the "Nozzle Eject" system might be affecting the heat transfer from the heatblock to the heatbreak+nozzle. Perhaps some Boron Nitride Thermal Paste would help with that.

[@nerys71]

He has not concluded anything yet (though he has dived the deepest into it) my issue is virtually not their. in fact the only reason I really noticed it was because I was looking for it after watching his video. I suspect its just a slight design and or QC issue since its not consistent from machine to machine. HIS has consistent under-extrusion. mine do not.

[@jasonhurdlow6607]

I ordered two of these a couple days ago, and then just today I saw that video. I'm pretty angry that I might have just been ripped off. A minor thing like extrusion slipping could ruin this otherwise amazing printer. How is yours fairing?

[@samuelemmettbray]

this is a garbage printer from a garbage company. avoid at all costs.

[@nerys71]

I don't have much experience with the company but the printer itself has been working quite nicely for me so far....
