XYZprinting - Da Vinci 1.0 3D Printer - Blue

The print area is excellent for the money, I've put about 40hrs of print time on it with no clogging. The bed calibration is set when it ships but can be tightened up for a more precise tolerance. The menu and functions are easy to use, loading filament is quick and simple. The only reason for 4 instead of 5 stars is the lack of fine control in the stock software, and the proprietary filament cartridges. There have been several work arounds for these drawbacks but XYZ try's to shut those down with firmware updates. I knew this prior to my purchase and do not regret choosing this printer. I've made some simple and some complex prints with interlocking and moving parts which have turned out great!

Out of the box this printer is as ready to go as possible. Simply plug it in connect the usb and turn it on load filament and at that point you can do a test print. everything is already calibrated and will take care of itself. That is pretty much the overall with this printer, the software is very restrictive in the amount of options you have but works good overall. For a new 3-d print user this is a great printer to get your feet wet and learn about the hobby.

Printer works great right out of the box if the right software is used. Would have been 5 stars if xyz would spend some time developing software. It does work very well with MS 3d Builder.

It’s a good printer, but there s a learning curve and you need patience. Tech support is very good.

Been working with the 3D printer since Christmas. Bought it for the grandkids, but I ended up spending more time to teach them... Works as advertised. Sooooooooooo Much to learn about using 3D editors. But Having a Blast! Printing Mario and Spiderman Characters! Great fun... This will be a Fun Challenge!

As I have some experience in 3D printers despite not so favorable reviews I decided to give it a try this machine, and that was my big mistake, even didn't finished the half-filled filament cartridge supplied with the printer when the printer head began to clog. I summit a ticket a the technical support, also I call the several of times but the technical support are the worst, super slow, i go for go for three weeks with this problems and still nothing, please don't waste your time and money with this xyzprinting company.

This printer is exactly what they said it is! It's easy to use. Reasonably priced, and can do pretty much anything you need it to do as a beginner to intermediate user while you take the time to decide if spending big money on a more industrial printer is necessary for you. I found a lot of helpful information online for this line of printers and product support has been fantastic.

The only complaint, a week in to owning the printer, is that it does not print round circles. They require some further shaping after printing is complete. Other than this, I love this printer.
