I recently bought a PowerSpec Ultra 3D Printer from my local MicroCenter - here are some points:
Positives:
- The overall build appears to be pretty solid.
- The Touch Control Panel is easy to use and allows for full control of the printer.
- The printer precise models, I tested on multiple test models and they all measured out accurately.
- I have yet to test the filament extrusion problem reported with the PowerSpec pro.
Negatives:
- As before, no body at MicroCenter seems to be able to provide true help.
- The documentation is truly pathetic; however, at least now they provided a page in the box to tell you where to locate the documents.
- I find that I am having to level the bed a lot, almost every 4th print.
- The Filament Spool posts are too close together - they will rub against each other and cause friction and problems
- The Cables to the extruder head are bound in a stiff flex tube that will impeed filaments if twisted.
Overall, I am liking the printer - here are some other notes:
- If you use Simplify3D - you must use the FlashForge Dream Maker dirver for the Ultra to work.
- Make sure you keep the extruders clean, I use a brass brush (bought at lowes) to remove particles.
- Get yourself a different surface material for the bed - I do not recommend painters blue tape.
- Print spool adapters as your first projects (53mm x 30mm), 4 for left and 4 for right, use 2 in spools and 2 as spacers.
Feel free to post your ideas and questions - I will do my best.
