XYZprinting - da Vinci Mini W+ 3D Printer

This is my first personal 3D printer and I haven’t stopped using it!! The manufacturer recommends applying a tad bit of school glue stick to the print bed, I use hairspray instead (read it on another website) and it works much better, in my opinion. I just use a piece of paper to cover up the fan, extruded, and other moving parts. I have already ordered $300+ worth of material and supplies from XYZ’z website. I like their printing software, mobile compatibility, print time, noise level, and so on. I did find one minor flaw with the printer’s mobile printing capabilities. I found that on iOS the XYZprint HUB does not work to print, for me, instead I use the XYZgallery app. Also, the XYZgallery (online and in the application) is useless, it essentially doesn’t work. Use Thingiverse, they have just about anything you can think of!

Great for the beginner and intro to 3D printing. Easy setup and very fast compared to other printers. When buying a 3D printer is important to do your homework and buy one that suits your needs. The price of this one is very good and good quality prints. The thing you want to think about first is how much the PLA is from XYZ since you have to use their spools, but for the quality and price of this machine it is definitely worth it and love the decision I made when buying this 3D printer.

Came fully assembled, easy to hook up, running it with WiFi , within 20 minutes ( mostly software updates) my 13 yo son was printing models. Great value, looks and feels like a solid instrument. Perfect for beginner learning 3D modeling.

First of all, don't expect the models you download to print to look as smooth and professional as they post the finished model pictures. This is your basic printer. The filament that came with mine is clear I stead of the pictures red. And the filinent that comes with it is cheap. When I don't use the spool for a day, at some point the filinent will snap below the feeder. I guess this a temperature issue. Get some better quality filinent and you should be ok. The printing bad isn't heated. I didn't think it was a big deal till a checked on my print half way through to find a blob of clear filinent in gobs following my nozzle around and falling off the side of the print base where it did not adhere to the print base. Yes I used the includes base tape and used the sticky adhesive and it was still a failure to launch on some projects. Like I said, don't have xpect much from this printer. Especially nothing like the nice resin printers that can make museum quality prints because it is not happening. This is more like build a part of a figure, sand I down and paint it and out it together. I would have saved up for a better printer but we all live and learn. For a kid it's good, but for those of you serious about this printing hobby, nope. Don't go here.

Good starter 3D printer for my teenager. He'd already used 3D printers at school, so he was familiar with the concept and technology, which meant he was able to use this one out of the box almost immediately. The output is definitely very basic, but again, for starters, it's a good place to begin.

Easy to setup and use. Only downfall is the spool size that can be used. But it prints really good.

nice hobby printer to get into the 3d printing experience

We got this for our son that turned 11. He was so excited to make 3D objects. Having fun learning and creating. The only thing I was disappointed with is how expensive the filaments are to buy separate for more colors.
