FoKoosOdin-5 F3 3D Printer, with Silent Motherboard, Integrated Extruder, and Double Z-Axis, 99% Pre-assembled Foldable FDM 3D Printer, 235 * 235 * 250mm Print Size

The media could not be loaded.  Once the initial set up & leveling was done it was as simple as press play, im a total beginner but it was easy to get my head around it all, admittedly the fan is a bit loud as I think it’s contacting the guard but after a while it sorts itself out.Nice of them to include some test files on the card too! Saw a Gcode file on there too so I’ll have a look into that as the MacBook I have is 14 years old I’m yet to find a work around but loving it so far:)

I bought this printer as a replacement for my trusty old Wanhao Duplicator i3 Plus which I inadvertantly killed during routine maintanence.At first I was a bit apprehensive about buying a new 3d printer, however this model had good reviews so I decided to take a chance, and I must say I have no regrets whatsoever.This is a great little machine especially when considering the price.I have tested it using both PLA and TPU filament and both worked fantastically well, flexible filaments such as TPU can be a bit tricky to work with but this printer handled it with ease, pint quality was excellent with both materials.The build quality of this machine is very good, construction is sturdy and well designed.It just worked for me straight out of the box without any need to tweak anything, setup consisted of screwing in 4 bolts and connecting 2 ribbon cables, which took all of 10 minutes.This printer comes with everything you need to get started including all the tools you will need plus replacement nozzles and ribbon cables and even a 250 gram reel of filament which is a very generous package considering the price.The print bed is very durable being made of glass and seems to work like magic, when the bed is hot filament sticks to it very well and when it cools down you can simply take your print off without the need for a scraper or any other tool .The touch screen interface is very easy to use and has a whole raft of features that my old printer didn't have, it gives the user a total control over every aspect of the printer's functions in a nice user friendly manner.All in all I really can't fault this printer, I suppose my only criticism would be that the cooling fan is a little loud but this really is a minor issue.You just get so much with this package and at such a low price that it's hard to believe, it's a great machine that is perfect for old and new users alike, highly reccommended.URGENT WARNING !! for anyone who owns or is considering buying this printer :Just recently the extruder nozzle on my printer overheated to an extreme degree, it got to over 300 degrees C and smoke started to issue from the hot end, this is highly dangerous and could have resulted in tragedy if I hadn't been in the room at the time.After some experimentation I discovered that manually moving the print head while the machine was heating up would result in some crazily erratic heat readings. Upon inspection I noticed that the ribbon connector that plugs into the print head was worn, I replaced this and have not been able to replicate the issue since.So for anyone who owns one of these printers please be extremely mindful of this potential hazard and check the ribbon connector on a regular basis.I still think on balance that this is a decent printer but this ribbon connector issue has me very worried.As a result I am knocking my score for this printer down by a couple of stars as I really don't think this unit is suitable for inexperienced users, and for everyone else just be careful and keep a watchful eye on things.

I originally gave this printer 1 star, but after being asked to give it another chance, and receiving a working model, I have updated my thoughts.Pros:- Super easy to set up- Auto filament feeding is really nice- Once properly leveled, bed adhesion is good (although I prefer a flexi plate to glass)- Easy to disassemble the direct drive (discovered this from my first one)- Print quality isn't bad, and once I get it more dialed in, I'm sure it will be good. For the price, it's pretty decent.- You can use the filament feeder to swap filament during a print when you pause, so you don’t need to hot swapCons:- While the fan isn't super loud, it's annoyingly high pitched- Spool holder is too short for some of my filament rolls so until I replace that, I can't use them- UI on the LCD screen isn't great - you don't see much of the file name so make sure you make the first part of the name distinctive!It's a good first printer.Original review:Sadly this didn't work at all. Set up was easy, as expected (given it's the selling point of this model) but the extruder was broken out of the box. After a lot of taking things apart, tweaking them, and conversing with the seller, it turns out I'd need a brand new part before I could do anything, which would take weeks. I don't expect to have to fix something before I can use it, so I returned it and bought a different printer, which worked right away.

I have a fair few 3d printers and this is by far the best!!! i will start with packaging...It was packaged really well with foam fitted so it fitted snug with all parts so nothing moved in shipping.it came with all parts nothing missing and an excellent little tool kit full set of allen keys, spanners and a nice scraper print removal tool...Setting up the printer was so so simple Just unfold use the 4 bolt to secure upper and lower axis then basically done in about 2 mins!!! (all depends how quick you can turn a allen key!!)Levelling was easy..From unboxing to first print was about 10 mins..The lcd is responsive with a good menu to adjust just about everything of the printer..Print quality was amazing..Also support is great on a facebook group and Dora one of the admins seems lovely and very helpful, infact everyone on the group is friendly and helpful...I got this printer at 30% off so got a bargain but would have paid full price for it...I would recomend this printer to anyone novice or pro.....

Initially, I was very impressed, a quick and straightforward assembly, packaging was very professional and well thought out, and everything you need is supplied in neat boxes, with labels telling you what's in each box.Imported the 1st file, and like magic it worked, it printed away without any problem, a few days later and on my 2nd print, I started getting error codes, Err05, support was useless, and google had minimum information on it, so I decided to return it, UPS failed to collect it 3 times, DPD was spot on, 18 days later still waiting for a refund.Just because it looks good doesn't mean it is.
