Thankfully, the Sapphire Pro alleviates that problem so that your finished products will look smoother, uniform and be more durable. Chief among them is print in TPU and flexible filament.īecause these printers use the FDM method of printing, distortion can be possible if the filament doesn’t cool down in time. The Sapphire Pro can do things machines priced higher can’t. If you’re hoping to save some money while getting the most value, the Two Trees Sapphire Pro is an excellent choice. When comparing different 3D printers, you’ll notice that many of them can be quite costly. The Vivedino Troodon is one of the more beginner friendly CoreXY printers and is perfect if you want to get high-quality prints from the get-go. This is part of the reason why the price tag is higher, but it allows everyone to get involved, not just those with engineering skills. Rather than having to build this 3D printer yourself, it comes fully assembled. This model goes a step further by scrubbing the air clean so you can work more efficiently, particularly when building multiple models in sequence. One of the primary advantages of buying an enclosed 3D printer is that it can trap potentially harmful fumes. Even better, the Troodon works faster than them, too, all without sacrificing precision or build quality. With a 300 by 300 by 400 mm enclosure (like the X5SA Pro), you have the option to print much larger. This is one of the largest ( and priciest) models on the market, but it is better for advanced printing options.
If you’re ready to upgrade your 3D printing to the next level, the Troodon is for you. If you want a well-designed, easy to operate machine from one of the most well-known and respected companies the Ender 6 is for you. With an excellent cooling function and smooth FDM head, you can get more precision and better results in less time. Since the Ender 6 uses a CoreXY structure, it can achieve printing speeds of up to 150 mm per second. However, with such a relatively massive chamber, you need to make sure that you have enough counter space to house it. It has a 250 by 250 by 400 mm enclosure, which is almost as big as their CR-10 models. And what we enjoyed the most was that the test prints came out beautifully.Īlthough the Ender 6 isn’t as big as the X5SA Pro, it is larger than most other printers. This is Creality’s first foray into the world of CoreXY and they did a great job with this entry-level unit.Īssembling the Ender 6 was a breeze – it took us only one hour. If you want a 3D printer that’s more beginner-friendly, than I recommend the Ender 6.
If you want a 3D printer that doesn’t need to be upgraded then check out the next two reviews below. While these aren’t usually too expensive, it will raise the cost. Keep in mind that to get the best out of it modifications may be needed. Overall, this is a decent CoreXY 3D printer with a few drawbacks. The versatility in printing different materials is a huge pro.
The ‘Pro’ version of the X5SA comes with a Titan extruder which means you can print flexible filament like TPU.
This printer also supports manual leveling when applicable. With the automatic leveling function, you can keep going without any noticeable errors in your design. If you have to use multiple color filaments to build your piece, leveling can be a challenge. You can let your creativity shine with larger pieces such as printing cosplay armor. This CoreXY 3D printer has one of the biggest platforms on the market, with a 300 by 300 by 400 mm printing surface. I like that the printer is quite sturdy once built. Because of this, I don’t recommend the X5SA Pro for beginners ( unless you like to tinker and DIY). The X5SA Pro is for you if you frequently print large projects and prefer a quiet machine.īe warned however that the instructions it comes with aren’t the clearest so I recommend watching videos online to help assemble it.
