Easythreed NANO Desktop 3D printer review
The Easythreed Desktop 3D printer is a simple and robust 3D printer designed for ease of use and is incredibly cost effective
RECOMMENDATION: 4 stars
Key Features
Small and portable: Easythreed Nano uses lightweight ABS material as the main body, which significantly reduces the weight of the product. Built-in high quality motor motor, better conductivity, more stable and uniform printing, less noise.
Easy to assemble: Self-assembled printers may cause improper assembly and reduce printing accuracy. Compared with other semi-finished 3D printers, NANO can be used without a complicated installation process. You only need to install two brackets to support the PLA material tray, and then you can print the desired work after turning on the power. No need to worry about poor printing accuracy due to improper installation.
Easily Operation: Easythreed NANO has a very simple operating system with one-key printing function. After installing PLA and leveling it, just insert the SD card and press the print button to automatically print out the required model. This is very friendly for beginners or children who are new to 3D printing. NANO can make you get started quickly and our products are not inferior to other printers.
High-quality material, detachable platform: Easythreed NANO uses high-quality ABS material, and the overall structure is stable to increase the accuracy of printing. The independent and detachable hot bed printing platform is convenient for cleaning after each printing.
Warranty and Service: Easythreed provide one-year warranty service, any quality problem can be returned, lifetime technical support and 24-hour professional customer service
DESCRIPTION
DESCRIPTION
The NANO arrives in a nicely printed box, with general specs and features printed. The box fits the printer very well, with no slop. GearBest has their inventory sticker on the box, of course.
It's worth taking note that the NANO arrives completely built. The upper supports (the white body, that is) could probably fit together more seamlessly, but they aren't lose or sketchy in the least, and this is strictly a "looks" fit issue. The photo below shows two of the shipping pieces which must be removed before use.
Inside the print area, things are simple but work well and are well built. This means that the print head must move away from the bed as the print advances. The stepper motors and lead screws allow the print head to move up and down and side to side with very fine control.
The print head has a fan built in, and a 0.4 mm nozzle. The print bed is stationary, but there are four screws, one in each corner, for leveling the bed. This is important, and a feature I took advantage of during my use of the Nano.
The back panel of the NANO has a few connections. There's a barrel plug for power. There's a micro-USB port, which is where I fed files to the printer. And there's a female USB type B 2.0, which allows connecting directly to and printing from the computer. There's a toggle switch which is used for feeding or retracting the filament, but is really only used in setup, or when switching filament.
Essentially there's one button for operating the NANO. This button is on the front, and it's backlit with a green LED. To be honest, this is the only print button I used. It's possible to use this printer in a very advanced (computer connected and controlled) way, but I've opted for my first 3d printing experience to be the simplest. The way this option works is that a user loads a print file (. gcode) to the microSD card, and places that card into the printer (slot is on the back). Once the printer is warmed up press the button here on the front, and printing of the first print file in the root directory will print.
What can you print? I printed a vase 4x, and a star (which was labeled "heart" in the file list). Prints are very consistent.
All in all not too difficult to use and produces some useful stuff. I loved it!
OPINION
OPINION
All in all, this is a great little printer that you can take with you anywhere with ease, thanks to its small size and light weight. A good starting point for the young ones, but with adult supervision and expertise! Not the best prints you can get right out the box, but with some tweaks to the settings, this could be as good as any other printer plus the fact it can handle more than just PLA. A 'definitely would' buy for me.
On account of the low price, ease of use and performance we award this 3D Printer: 4 stars
