Wanhao Duplicator i3 reviews

Rating: 4 out of 5
imdimonch
Advantages:

1. Inexpensive.
2. Excellent print quality.

Disadvantages:

1. Noisy fans in the control unit (power supply).
2. In my copy, the table drive rollers were offset relative to each other by 1 cm !!! Since during assembly, the Chinese comrades incorrectly set the counter nut of the idle roller of the table drive.
3. The maximum height of the model is slightly lower than the declared 180 cm by 30-40 mm, since the wires of the extruder motor at the maximum height will simply rub against the upper edge of the case.

Comment:

All defects are curable. The fans change if desired. If you turn the extruder motor 90 degrees. connector to the shafts and carefully lay the wires, then printing to a maximum height of 180 mm will be possible.
The printer got the second revision. The drawbacks of the power supply unit due to the low-current "ground" are eliminated, the temperature of the extruder is + -2C, the temperature of the table is + -0.2C, which is very good.
For your money, a very decent model, but you have to be prepared for the fact that the printer will have to "finish". At maximum settings, it prints a solid five, but for a long time. So far, only PLA has tried plastic. PLA plastic sticks strongly to the table with the complete mat, the model will not fall off exactly when printing, I do not use glass.

Advantages:

Quality printing.

Disadvantages:

It is necessary to completely sort out, the screws are either loose or crookedly assembled. The table is crooked, but everything sticks. the Z limit switch is installed so that over time the contact plate falls off and the head simply rams the table!

Comment:

After finishing it, it works.
Whoever is going to use FDplast rod, get ready for frequent head disassembly. for ABS expose table 110 extruder 250-260!
The native plastic from the kit prints perfectly by the way.

Advantages:

Everything is configured and calibrated right away
Stable frame
Fairly accurate for its price
Printing with most types of plastics
Heated table

Disadvantages:

The table, not much not even on its own
The bp is very hot
Sometimes it does not read the sd card (it is treated by stuck / stuck out)
Not convenient display (visible only at an angle of 90 degrees, you have to tilt your head too much)

Comment:

You immediately need to put glass on the table, the molar sheet in the kit is about nothing.
An excellent printer, it is easy to modify by himself (the case of a power supply unit with good ventilation and a front cover with a tilt for the display are printed)
I advise everyone, it is better to take this version of the purse.
