Dan plays a very important role on the staff. He's very clearly the "Guy who knows a bit of everything," which means you can throw him at basically any weird problem and expect a solution. It might not be a pretty solution, but he'll solve it.

[@MitsumaYT]

<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="395">6:35</a>, thats usually a PTFE (Teflon) tube. You aren't wrong about wanting a tighter bowden tube but this tube is actually a reverse bowden tube, which should be wider. Reason being that the direct drive hotend pulls the filament and you do not want extra drag from a tight reverse bowden. Unlike an actual bowden setup its purely a loose guide.

[@shadow7037932]

Yup. And in a set up like this having a tighter tube can actually cause issues when printing with certain filaments such as Metal Fill or CF Nylon due to the tightness causing too much friction leading to potential under extrusion.

[@TJ_Bosolo]

[@AndyKehl]

I'm very experienced in the 3d printing space. In the past, LTT has done had some bad videos explaining 3d printing concepts. It was always a matter of somebody with a little bit of experience explaining a concept or topic they barely understood. This video is not that, Dan knows what he is talking about, clearly he has a ton of printing experience. This is far and away the best 3d printing focused video LTT has had. Keep Dan doing any 3d printing content in the future.

[@IDiveI11]

There is still a few things he got wrong. As much as i like him i cannot agree, he seems to know how to print, but i'd leave the reviews to someone more experienced. (Maybe a Nero collab :p)

[@Sizukun1]

3d printing shouldn't be like Linux: you shouldn't have to be a borderline engineering doctorate to know how to efficiently print plastic junk or little modifications to bigger machines. I think the prior videos where it sounds like someone doesn't know what they're talking about is because someone hasn't simplified a UI to let grandma 3d print something. Most tech people even aren't interested in spending $800+ then having to research how to use that expensive machine and what nozzle and speed to print at.

Damn that power interruption auto recover is a game changer. My power cut out for a second in the middle of a long print and I didn't want to start from scratch again and had to figure out which specific layer the print stopped at and edit the gcode manually to resume from there. It worked out but if I never had to do it again I sure wouldn't mind

[@Gpelosi]

At $1500 compared to creality's ender 3 v2 that on their website cost $279 people are gonna go for the cheaper printer, this is why people go for the printers from creality and prusa, they are affordable. Not to mention all the upgrades that can be done on the cheaper printers where as here you are lucky just to be able to change the nozzle. enders 3 can be completely changed to a core xy printer and may still be under the cost of this flashforge printer. and you say this can be used for education purposes, most printers like ender 3 and prusa printers all are alot easier to work on making them perfect for education enthusiast and even professional use.

[@rodrigogonzalez6791]

What do recommend for beginners

[@stewiex]

@@rodrigogonzalez6791 That is a good question and one that gets asked a lot. 2 years ago if you asked 10 people, 9 of them would have said the Ender 3 or Ender 3 Pro and the 10th would have said Prusa Mini. However a lot has changed for the better for entry level printers. I would recommend an Anycubic Kobra or Ender 3 Neo (or Ender 3 S1). If you are concerned about spending that much money on your first printer, an Ender 2 Pro is an excellent printer, but with a smaller build plate and a few less features than the others I mentioned.

[@frank-af]

I'd like to state: Tight bowden tubes (1.8-2mm ID) are important for when you have a bowden extruder, which pushes the filament through the tube. On a direct drive extruder, using a large (2.5-3mm ID bowden) reduces friction as the filament is pulled through the tube.

[@timber_w0lf769]

To be honest, you can't say that most printers don't have failure recovery anymore. Even ender 3 pro's have that. This is also not an "affordable" printer. Maybe for a company, who is looking at "industrial' designs, or someone used only to Prusas, but the average printer with specs like these should be much lower. Look at the new Ender 3 Pro V2 or Smart, for example.

Isn't the "loose" bowden tube actually a reverse bowden? Therefore doesn't need to be tight and a bit looser is actually better as doesn't add unnecessary friction!

Yeah, if there is a direct drive on the hot head then you shouldn't need a tight tube leading to it.

To this day I still have my flashforge finder. According to the system settings menu it has run over 1300 hours, never had a lot of issues with it. For Christmas I upgraded to an all-metal heartbreak, all-metal extruder arm and a 0.2 mm nozzle. Although it prints very fine details, the added weight gives me an insane amount of ghosting. Nevertheless, it's my first and most reliable printer ever! When I move out, I'm gonna encase the removable printbed in a resin cube I think to keep it was a decorative piece. If this one is anything as reliable as the flashforge finder I'd recommend it to everyone (although it's a bit expensive compared to the insanely cheap ender series these days)

[@VijaySrinivas]

Great 3D Printer to kickstart LMG's 3D Printer reviews! Having worked at a 3D Printing company for 3+ yrs, Flashforge 3D printers were the most reliable & affordable printers out in the market. We usually run them 24/7 most of the times. Requires very little maintenance. Only problem is replacing parts since you get locked to their ecosystem as everything is proprietary (except the filament). Also, from my prev. exp. I'd chuck the filament tube which is actually more for style and sometimes causes clogging. Since, it's direct drive you can insert the filament directly to the extruder head. Also, surprised to see they haven't changed the touchscreen settings or the music in over 6+ years. I'm not sure if this is a bug still but their unload function rarely works. You have to use loading setting for both filament loading & unloading.

That metal plate is made of PEI which gets sticky when it's hot so your print will stick better, then when it cools down it unsticks.
