Maaan that thing is massive. Glad to hear the issue was just firmware. Looks like a great choice for you need to go big.

i want to buy this 3d printer , and i wonder if you got the nozzle clogged already. since some poeple say this happens usually plus the spare part almost non available. by the way, where do you download that dragon? the stl is free? thanks in advance

[@TheNextDecade]

I wish I was having your experience, I have two Maxes and Two plusses and none are behaving, all with different quirks, but mostly layer shifting. I'm gonna try the most recent firmware and give it one more chance, but these are so close to going back.

[@Holger-e6w]

Which firmware version did you use for the test?

[@allthatandmore7252]

@randymay Im curious as well.

Rather disappointed in the specs for the 4-Max, and the worst part is the bed won't heat past 85c making ABS daunting if not impossible, and the (still) lack of replacement or other larger nozzle sizes frustrating. My 3-Max is AWESOME for ABS (enclosed) and I wouldn't trade that for the world right now... I'm running Mainsail/Klipper and have input shaped it (the hard way of course) and tuned to happy perfection. Your 3-Max review pushed me in that direction early in the year, and with min mods (all metal hot end) and the Klipper firmware it's a production beast.

I own this printer and it can easily heat past 85c and other nozzle sizes are available now

@@bastiaanvdb6321 Thanks good to know! Can your bed get to 100C? Anything less is problematic for most ABS prints. I hope so, as I have a friend who bought one and I know he eventually wants to go ABS.

​@@imagesh1Any updates on your friends 3d printer and the bed heat/printing ABS and the likes? This printer seems perfect for me, but I'd like to be able to print nylon which also requires some heat in the bed iirc.

[@imagesh1]

@@Programentalist Sadly no, my friend has been happy with printing PLA so I haven't researched the issue deeper. Could a larger power supply be used with the existing bed heater? The 3-Max has a 500 watt power supply and I think the 4-Max PS is not as beefy. I do have an additional 9 months with the 3-Max and am still happy. Only printing ABS (3 or 4 rolls a week) and outside of the occasional print that needs some thought on the proper way to print, I get great results. I would still recommend the 3-Max over the 4-Max if high temp bed is your concern. The price is also lower nowadays. Regards!
