3D Printing

MGN linear guides on two axes should make every maker's heart beat faster. In addition, there is a drilled Sprite extruder. However, despite all the love for good hardware, Voxelab has forgotten the fine-tuning here. Our test clearly shows too many flaws ex-factory, which could be fixed with little effort.

Anycubic is launching an upgrade to the popular Kobra this year. The new FDM printer retains the great strengths of its predecessor and further expands its usability. LeviQ 2.0 can provide a perfect first layer here.

With the AnkerMake M5, Anker makes an impressive entry into the 3D printer arena and delivers high quality in many areas. Despite straightforward assembly, an easy to understand slicer, as well as high speed, we were unfortunately not impressed with the fast printer.

Quick as a Kobra: A spring steel print bed, automatic print bed leveling and a powerful direct-drive extruder are combine to make a powerful 3D printer. At the same time, the Anycubic Kobra offers beginners an easy way to get started. A printing speed of up to 180 mm/s is claimed to be possible with the 3D printer.

If Apple would create a 3D printer, it would probably be as stylish as the Wizmaker P1. Just like Apple's devices, this FDM printer is packed with features that one does not really need, but still likes to have. "Instead of answering to "Hey Siri", the Wizmaker P1 responds to "Hello Wizmaker".

With a 16-inch (40 cm) by 16-inch heated print bed and maximum print height of 18 inches (45 cm), the Anycubic Kobra Max belongs to the largest of 3D printers currently on the market for home users. Aside from its physical size, this 3D printer has the ease of use common to all Anycubic devices. The combination of a dual-drive extruder and a Volcano hotend manages to deliver even larger volumes of printing material to the silicon carbon (Carborundum Glass) printing bed.

The Flsun QQ-S Pro is one of the stark examples of the 3D printing community's strengths. This is because the large delta 3D printer comes with strong hardware, but firmware that does not meet the minimum requirements. Only a firmware from GitHub eliminates almost all problems of the QQ-S Pro in one fell swoop.

The Artillery Genius Pro is a 3D printer that's easy to set up and can do a lot. Automatic mesh bed leveling and a flawless Cura profile allow you to get started quickly, while the Volcano hotend with titanium direct-drive extruder provides enough headroom for professionals.
