Is the FLSUN Super Racer WORTH it in 2023?!?!

[@tHaH4x0r]

I owned this printer for quite some time before my current printer (X1C). Still miss it sometimes, watching the delta movement is mesmerizing, and it was incredibly quiet. The only noticeable noise was retraction noises from the stepper. You can literally have it next to you on your desk and you wouldn't be bothered by it. Can't say the same about the X1C. Once a filament is set up, it is literally set and forget. Can't say I have had similar problems to you regarding quality. Very reliable, I personally did not have a single issue with this printer over its life. One has to keep in mind when this printer was released. During that time there were many small innovations that weren't that common yet, yet this printer had almost all of them. Autoleveling, silent stepper drivers, almost automatic procedure for printing etc. At the time when it was released, 'modern' core XY machines weren't that common, so it did offer a substantial upgrade over traditional Cartesian designs. I could print designs roughly 2x faster than before. Similarly, when it came out flexible build plates were not super common. The reason why I upgraded to the X1C wasn't the speed, but the ability to print technical materials and ABS (chamber, higher temp nozzle), and also a larger build volume. Part cooling fans are an easy upgrade, which I indeed definitely recommend.

[@Scratchy8644]

You can put the extruder stepper motor in silent mode with a gcode line, (on the flsun sr). I still own mine and upgrading it soon with the klipper pad to extend its life. Not a single issue with it so far. The new flsun T1 is going to be my next one probably.

Thank you, my friend, for using our printers and for endorsing them. I will say, however, that the print will be better if you clean the PEI. A wipe with alcohol will do the trick. I hope this will give you a better experience.

[@ThePrintHouse]

Thank you so much for giving me the opportunity to test the printer! I honestly do like the SR. It has klipper now and I will work on roughly calibrating it to be a little more precise. As for cleaning the glass, I will definitely clean it. The dirty glass actually happened on the final main print that I made for the video (the question block). I have never has good luck printing on glass. It not only your printer. I have printed on many brands of printers with glass and I do not like the experience. Usually items with large surface area are very hard to remove, at least with my printing workflow.

Well give him a v400 to review it ❤

[@rootstriker8209]

Hey man I love your deltas they are the best. I bought a Q5 when they first cam out and that thing was an absolute beast of a machine. Did everything I threw at it flawlessly. I literally just bought a super racer on Amazon 15 minutes ago

[@persiustudio]

Hi FLSun can i find somewhere any slicer profile for the SuperRacer printer? Prusa/Cura/Orca...doesn't matter which just to have some base profile to tweak and calibrate from. Please

[@rootstriker8209]

@persiustudio I found an orca slicer profile on the net, I'll find for you when I get home.

[@Xenoprophet]

I learned recently that having a good roller for the filament reel helped my prints out a lot for a different printer, I just bought my delta on sale and can't wait to make use of it!

[@RAZERTAHP]

Got mine open box from micro center for 200$ basically like new condition. Out of the dozen printers I’ve bought that was by far the best purchase

[@law_sensei]

I want to buy one, but I'm not sure if it fits in my suitcase. Is it possible to bring it in a plane suitcase? of the 22 kilograms?

[@CarbonRobloxide]

@@law_sensei definitely not

[@MattHoward1]

Do you have a link to the part cooling duct you printed?

[@Samantha1642]

Thank I receive mine in a few days!!! Just liked and subscribed thanks so much for all the info keep bringing more? Also very new is there any really good sites for the STL files?

[@ThePrintHouse]

Thanks for the sub!!! Joint the discord as well, the link is in the description!! My go to stl site has been printables for a year now, but apparently thingiverse got a major update (it used to be run down) so it's probably a good option again. Cults3d is great for paid models, but not really for browsing. Only if someone links you a model to purchase.

[@JonLaRue]

Even with all of the problems my machine has had, i love it. I have needed to swap the extruder out, the bed (it cracked), and plan to swap the hotend out to a real volcano.

[@TheCraftySmith89]

So this has been my first printer, I didn't want to hassle with the Ender systems. Really it's been great but have been having issues with build plate adhesion

[@ThePrintHouse]

I would personally recommend the pei plate upgrade. Pei sheet are so much better

[@TheCraftySmith89]

@@ThePrintHouse how often do you have to replace those though?

[@furniksadventures9660]

@@TheCraftySmith89 never if u dont scratch it

[@alanday5255]

So what about the supposed off-gasing issue when trying to speed print with PTEG?

[@apollonin]

Hi! thank you for the video! I wonder if you have a link to the model of the correctly oriented fan cooling thing? I would be happy to print one for myself. Btw, why do you say the factory one is not correctly oriented?

[@chrismay2298]

Easy to put on Klipper and Micro Center had them for $250 a couple weeks ago. Absolute steal. Paid $1000 used for my SeeMeCNC Rostock and it was tough to get it to print as fast at not as good quality.

[@ThePrintHouse]

I really like this printer. I don't use it much though. I can't wait to see what the next Flsun has to offer

[@samgutz80015]

Thank you! Good information

[@milostomic5692]

What are your cura setting for flsun?

[@jimcsnr]

For some reason they did put in the cheapest extruder money can buy. I had mine delivered 2 days ago and immediately on the first print I could see the extruder needed to be changed. I'm waiting for a OMG V2S All Metal Gears extruder to be delivered. And, yes I did purchase a pei plate from Amazon which is arriving tomorrow. Other than that a few mods and it's good to go. To be honest I had a lot less hassle setting up the Q5 directly out of the box.

[@steelplasma256]

One thing about the glass bed, if you let it fully cooldown to room temperature then it pops right off with little resistance..... except large flat surfaces.

[@ThePrintHouse]

I have had hit or miss luck with medium objects on glass beds when cooled and absolutely no luck with large objects

[@bunkie2100]

One of the great things about the fixed bed is that you can be a bit enthusiastic removing prints from the bed. I keep a very small hammer and give prints a little love tap which quickly frees them (and, often, sends them flying, which is a bit of a downside).

[@papucstalpgaming8918]

Hi! I buy one flsun and i now start the printing so i dont know a lot of things , can u send me the filaments type plz ? THX

Hey I am having a issue on the hot end pull thing one of the baring is loose it not staying

@@ThePrintHouse thank you

[@MikkeyFacts]

I have a couple of resin printers but i am curious to get a filament printer. I would like a silent printer as I live in an apartment and i know some of these other printers sound like jet planes.

[@ThePrintHouse]

I think this printer is quiet, but the hotend cooling isnt adequate, so after that upgrade it will get louder. If volume is important to you, I think there are better options.

[@MikkeyFacts]

Okay I see. Thank you for your response. What options could that be?

[@MrBaskins2010]

love delta printers. this printer is a great pickup in 2024 for 300 bucks

[@GonnerMeLeggies]

I just ordered one on prime day for 180. Been waiting for years for a flsun delta to go under 200.

[@3n3rgy90]

As a European, this tape measure looks wild with all these 1/4, 3/8, 1/2. We just use numbers 1 to 300cm

[@ThePrintHouse]

I don't claim the stupid measurement system we use 👀🤣

Had such a hassle with an ender 3 v2 neo and am running about getting this printer Edit: thinking, not running

[@mynameisprivate158]

I totally disagree. I print on glass with gluestick and wouldn't want to print on anything else!

[@ThePrintHouse]

My biggest issue with glass is that large objects do not release from it. Flexible PEI seems to be where the industry is headed.

[@TheBinklemNetwork]

Have you tried a salt water solution instead of glue?

[@pook6212]

Worth what? "It" has no meaning.
