So,
You have been hearing so much about the 3D printer world and want to get into the action!
But you have no idea yet what makes a 3D printer good, and what doesn't.
Luckily for you I have everything covered, In this video you will know all the basics you need and will be able to quickly make a decision about which 3D printer is going to be best suited for you needs.
To cut things short,
You 2 Main Printer Types
FDM and RESIN (SLA)
In this video I cover FDM Printers.
However if you are interested in SLA Printers (which have different benefits) I have that video prepared also.
Personally I would suggest you go for an FDM printer as a beginner, however you can still get away with using some Resin printers, especially the ones I chose in the other video.
As they are better designed for beginners.
There are many important factors to think about when getting an FDM Printer.
Mainly you need to look at:
If the Printer allows for many Slicers, if It has a good customer service base, Printer speed, Size, And if there are enough users online who can help you out if you get stuck during your Journey.
You're getting excited, aren't you?
What's amazing about the 5 Options I have today, is that they have all of these features, and more.
To top it up, most of the 3D Printer options provided are cheap, making it a great way to test if you are in to 3D Printing or not.
You won't have to lose a few months salary just to find out.
I hope you enjoyed the video.
Good luck with your life and have a nice day! - วิทยาศาสตร์และเทคโนโลยี

Thanks for this very informative and to the point video. I've a question please - how would you rate Voxelab Aries against the Aquila and Ender 3 (the 4 versions you've listed)? Thank you
Thank you! This was super informative. I feel like I understand, much more, what to look for in a printer after watching this. Much appreciated.
Hey Kelly, I'm really happy to hear that. It was my main goal of the video :)
@@LuigisProductReviews what 3d printers would be good to get if i wanted to provide a service to construction companies and a service to the government
and what sort of items could i provide
What🤨
Luigi GREAT tutorial giving the break done with 3D Printers, I made my decision an ordered my unit after watching your Video!:)
When I got my aquila c2 for my first ever printer and Kept seeing videos of bad prints bubbles an stuff like that an since my brain hates that I cant tell you how many days I spent getting my prints to look amazing with no visible lines while being some what fast and having no issues. also m2 lock nuts are amazing for lvling. havent had to level mine for awhile now since I did it. Overall really great printer for some one who is a smooth brain like me lol. The only issue ive had so far was the thermistor going out alot quicker then alot of people say an am waiting for a set that work on both ender 3 an the aquila
Great video, although to give some constructive criticism.. I found it was hard to hear you in some segments of the video due to the instrumental you have in the background. It’s great music, definitely no issues with that. But maybe turn it down just a little or maybe turn your audio volume up a little bit. Besides that, great video and thanks for the information!
Yeah it's a little loud
This was a good, respectful, and ultimately helpful comment. I agree, the music could be turned down but overall good choice in music. Specifically at 10 minutes in. Loved the video and it was super helpful!
It's also riddled with spelling mistakes. it's not bad, but I think it skims over some basics too quickly. it doesnt explain what a bowden and direct drive set up is, flashes some pros and cons in text really short on screen while talking about something else and than continues to drone on about bowden vs direct drive during the printer recommendation.
Also, TPU is perfectly printable with a bowden set up.
I found no issues with sound quality. Some people just like to whine.
Question: The Aquila has been around quite a while. Does it still have a shelf life or should I just save my money and go for another of these models?
Thank you very much. What a great video!!!!!
Thank you for no bullshit and getting to the point and not over explaining it
This was a great video!!! Thank you so much
Im looking at buying the creality v3 neo ender as a start. What isthe best filament too use?
Thank you!
Super helpful video, thank you very much!
wow super helpful and informative video! keep up the good work bro!!!
Thanks man :) appreciate it
thank you very much for this very informative video!
Badass video. Thank you man. 😊
thank you!
I was looking at making a model roller coater and the longer printer you said prints wood and since I will be making a wood roller coaster wondering if that is the one to go with or if another one prints wood also. Thank you and anything is appreciated
I'm having trouble deciding on the fokoos it the ender V2 pro ..... someone help please.
It says fokoos is high quality but uses Bowden
Ender has direct drive and has slightly less quality.
What do I choose ?
Thanks!
Should i buy ender 3 v2 as my first printer?
Question can you change the Bowden drive to a direct drive on the cheapest one
Thank you.
Does the Elegoo Neptune 3 plus uses a heating bed?
This was super helpful for deciding which 3d printer to buy. Ended up going with the Ender 3
How has it held up? Hows the quality of the unit? the printing quality?
Amazing video, and really helpful too! What is your opinion on the sidewinder x2? I’m looking at that or the ender v2 max
Thank you :)
Sorry I will give you a hefty answer :P.
Both the options you are thinking about are very good options.
The sidewinder x2 made it to Number 7 in my list out of the 40 printers.
I would compare the sidewinder x2 with the longer LK5 pro, because they are very similar (both same build size)
But differences are that: LK5 pro prints faster, and is around $100 cheaper VS sidewinder x2 has direct drive and auto bed levelling.
If you are interested in dabbing into more flexible filaments later, then sidewinder x2 will win the fight. Otherwise LK5 pro wins.
There is also the Sidewinder Genius pro , which is basically a smaller cheaper version of the sidewinder x2.
So. If you are looking for build size. Then the Sidewinder x2 is better, but if you don't care too much about size then its better to compare the artillery genius pro with the ender 3v2
as they are more similar.
Artillary Genius pro is around 100 Dollars more than the Ender 3v2.
And this is because the Genius pro has
( 1. Auto bed leveling, which costs around $25 dollars to upgrade on the ender 3v2,
2. Dual Z Axis, which costs around $70 dollars to upgrade,
3. Direct Drive, which costs around $40 to upgrade) = total upgrades of 135
But Ender 3v2 has 32 bit motherboard, which is around $50 so ------> 135 - 50 = $85 Upgrades VS $100 Price difference.
Overall, Based on this. My suggestion would be, to get the Ender3 v2. And then if you feel like you need to upgrade it, you can do so (lots of youtube videos on upgrades)
But, if you don't want the hassle and just want a ready good 3d printer. Then the Sidewinder genius pro would be better.
PS. If you were talking about ender 3 max and not ender 3v2, then I prefer the Sidewinder x2 over the ender 3 Max.
Hope this was helpful :)
@@LuigisProductReviews thank you so much this helps a lot. I think I’m going to go with the ender v2 and upgrade everything you listed. Because like you have said on your channel the Ender just has easily the biggest community, so even if I do run into problems I have the community to help me out. I am eternally thankful for helping me find what to get can’t wait to start printing!
@@averagecoolepicyoutubers1929 think about what you want from a printer and go from there. The new sprite system from creality have been great because it's usually the first change or frustration from those machines. You want a machine out of the box that ends up being what most people mod printers to become....creality-cr-10-smart-pro-3d-printer.
Big printers need stability bars, done
Monitoring system, very tech savvy thing to do yourself, done already
LEd bar, done
Filament sensor, done
Flex bed, done
SD card firmware system, done
Touch screen UI, done
Wi-fi, done
Optional filament weight holder and enclosure.... This machine has what I see time and time again what people do modifications to get too and factory is almost always the better option
I'm looking for a pre-essembled noob-proof printer that a beginner can use to make flexible miniatures and 1:9 scale moldels either people or horses/animals which would be printed as solid instead of flexible. Is there any you would recommend?
How much length of fitint kams with the 3d printers
So, i got a question. I found a nice price on an ender 5, is that a good printer for a newb/first timer who is decent with computers ?
Can you use Models from the Internet in the Qidi printer ?
Very cool video thx
great video, very helpful.
Great video, very informative. Do you have any experience with a flsun super racer. If so whats you opinion on it. Where does it stack up against the ones you mentioned in your video?
same question
Hello Xavier,
The flsun super racer, is quite a nice option. the way it works is a little different from the ones in this list in terms of x,y,z axes.
This can result to faster print speeds, but still if you print at its fastest settings, you will see around a 10% reduction in quality.
Overall, the printer has some minor flaws, like the bed not being the best. and the fact that it can take quite some finicking around with the settings to get the best results.
So, Personally, I would suggest this printer to anyone who already has experience 3d printing already, and wants to upgrade their build size and quality in the long run.
If you are ok paying the extra cost, and patient with finding the perfect settings though, then the flaws on this printer will be solved.
Hope this was helpful :)
@@LuigisProductReviews Yes, Thanks for your response. I appreciate the feedback. I recently found my first 3d printer (ender 3 V2) for $120 so ill learn with that one and maybe upgrade later when I figure out what are my needs from a printer.
good but how much dose number 3 cost I'm on a thin buget sorry for any typos
Is the ender 3 pro good?
Great video!
Which one is the best to start kid toy making according to the the details and smoothness ?
Thank you for your videos - I am new to 3D printers, and your info is invaluable. I am in Canada, and have a very small apartment with limited exhaust options, and two cats. Therefore I think enclosed may be better? The Flashforge Adventurer 3 Pro is a frontrunner @ $589 CAD shipped. But it is small, and I can't afford to just upgrade every now and then. So the Adventurer 4 seems great, has a HEPA filter, but is $999 CAD shipped. Not out of the running, but up there in price for me. In your opinion, am I way off the mark? I can get the Creality Ender-3 S1 for $428 CAD shipped, but need to look at some kind of enclosure, which all seem soft-sided (not cat-proof) and don't have exhaust fans or filtration. So torn between all of them. Any advice would be great. Thanks so much for your content!
He just reads some specs tho, does not look like he actually used them. It's good to checkout people showing how they work with them & what they say after at least one year of using it if you won't buy a "surprise package" ^^
Hey dabruuzer,
Considering your situation and that you have 2 cats , I understand why you want an enclosed printer.
Luckily the fumes from fdm printers are not so bad. Unless you are using ABS material. So you just need to think about enclosing the printer in a way that the cats can't reach them.
A less conventional method could be, to get an ender 3 s1, and a cover ( something like an aquarium tank that's the right size of the printer.) the benefits is the tanks are not so expensive, you will see through them to see what the printer is doing, and your cats won't reach it.
The negatives is that you will have to lift the tank every time you start and finish printing.
If you don't want this hassle, then as you say buying a ready enclosed printer would be better.
I see you are concerned about build size too.
I'm not sure what you plan on printing. But Considering the market the $999 CAD Adventurer 4 is normally more pricey than that. And the $589 adventurer 3 pro is normally cheaper than that.
So it might be a good opportunity to take advantage of the prices and go for the bigger size.
*ps if you are looking for cheaper, check the adventurer 3 lite, which is like the 3 pro, but no camera, and has a different bed* but $90 cheaper*
Hope that was helpful :)
Where would you recommend buying from in Canada?
What is the name of the file with the skull with movable jaw called? Where can I get this file please? Thank you.
For ender 3 s1 need glass bed ?
I’m completely new and want to 3-d print 1/64 scale hot wheel wheels/ rims. What do I need to do it from start to finish. My budget is $400
Can I use slicers on my phone
what song did u use on "longer"?
How does a resin printer work?
I have a fokoos Odin printer I have a couple anycubic Chiron and kobra max pro voxelab But man oh man that fokoos once you down load the settings off of cura Which is the slicer I use it is the most consistent most reliable the best detailed machine I ever used mega props to fokoos
Thanks for your feedback Alberto :)
Would you suggest fokoos for someone who wants to learn more about 3d printing?
i am interested in purchasing a fokoos.
Is there a wifi or BT 3D printer in market? If yes. Pls provide name or link.
Many mistakes here:
1. Main Materials is PLA, PETG, TPU then ASA ABS etc.
2. Bowden extruder is generally speaking cheaper while direct drive is better. And no there is no recent bias toward them this has always been the case they were just more expensive and heavier
3. Print bed, which material your bed is made of is important. Best type is a coated spring steel material since it flexes and is magnetic.
4. Size, bigger is not better bigger is more difficult to handle especially shrinkage wise.
5. Slicer, go with Prusa Slicer really or some other iteration of the slicer like SuperSlicer
6. Community size is important for beginners.
What's wrong with ultimaker cura as a slicer?
@@MeepMeep88 Nothing in particular, if you prefer Cura that´s absolutely fine. It´s just a little more untidy and it´s difficult to start with it in my opinion but that´s a biased personal opinion. In General you should use the Slicer YOU are most happy with for whichever reason.
@@sierraecho884 Was it your 1st slicer that you used as your main? I've only used Cura and if Prusa is more beginner friendly, I wouldn't mind trying that.
@@MeepMeep88 I have started out with Simplify 3D, then Prusa then Orca slicer.
Since they are all free I would recommend you just install them and see what you like.
Cura is too confusing for me with all the options, I just don´t like the UI but function wise it is a good slicer. Just see if you like Orca slicer I would recommend that.
@@sierraecho884 Thank you, I'll give it a go.
Hi I am a beginner at 3d printing.
I am looking to start making my own smoking accessories, do you have any tips for this eg what filament?
Just looking for a small 3d printer to get started with.
Don’t have any experience with 3d drawing… any help would be appreciated
Hey DutchessJSY,
Sorry for the late reply.
Your best bet to get accurate answers is to check the some reddit communities of specific printers you like. They will be able to give you nice tips.
Hope this was helpful
you got elegoo neptune you could have added here also.
question: what is the quietest printer
Ender s1 do not have linear advance option, which means if you need accurate prints, especially the ones that will fit in each other you will print at 10-25mm/s, the higher speed the more sharp edges will stick out.
Which one do you suggest that have linear advance option?
@@gunhann you need to check how to enable it first, as specific drivers and motherboard do not support it at all and it depends which components is in your machine. Prusa do support it. You can check many videos on youtube on how to enable it in your printer but mostly it requires to changer motherboard and drivers.
@@tobuyornottobuy2319 I don't have a machine yet. Looking for which one to buy and what is an important feature. For a home usage seems best contenders are s1 pro and prusa mk3s+
@@gunhann I would say is more about how good you are with making upgrades yourself. The best option is delta with Klipper installed, it prints damn fast with perfect quality, like 150-200mm/s with 5000 accelartion and perfect details and geometry. But to upgrade one requires some knowledge, no newbie friendly. Apart from that Core XY is another option that performs better than cartesian. And all in all it comes to money and how much work you want to put into printer to make it print perfectly and fast. Sadly there isn't any printer available on market and you plug and play without upgrades, unless you ok to print slow that will take days to make just small toy or any part.
i can’t find the ender 3 pro, do you mean the ender 3 neo?
thanks
Is this a good starter printer? Creality Ender 3 S1 3D Printer with Direct Drive Extruder CR Touch Auto Leveling High Precision Double Z-axis Screw Silent Board Printing Size 8.6X8.6X10.6in
Can you provide links?
any thoughts about the elegoo neptune 3? seems to have a few featuresr that the ender lacks for a currently great price.
i bought a neptune 3 iv had only one issue with leveling and it was fixed with a upgrade to software since then it has been crazy accurate
Amazing work,are you interested in review RAY5 10W(Laser engraver) from Longer?
Hello Longer,
Could you send me an email? and ill get back to you within a couple of days.
Thx!

Oh nice a new review
12:11 Why is the 7 in 270cm edited ?
amazing video❤️❤️
which one of this got auto calibration so it will almost always have the best case printing without adjusting the platform?
what about pla Fliaments
wow, thanks but i have one question: if the printer doesn’t show on the website that it supports Tpu, can i just exchange the tip to a direct drive and then it’s capable of printing Tpu??
Hey MLG,
I'm not fully certain, so its best to check some 3d printer communities to get the best answer. My guess would be yes.
But you would have to make sure that the printer your switching is able to take the direct drive switch.
I’m about to get this for my child 😂
very good video
Which one do you personally suggest? I'm on a tight budget, but I want something that's relatively big, but will last for 2+ years.
Ender 3 would be the best in my opinion.
For easy used easythreed nano is a great choice.
I have anet a6 and easy thread and it works great.
But if you wanna spend a little more get a auto bedleveling 3d printer
@@nischal711 Lol to late XD I just got my Aquila X2. Still building it. It fit my budget and the ender didn't so yeah. Thanks though.
@@nischal711 Do you have any suggestion on good auto bedleveling 3d printers?
I really like how you showed the dimensions of the printer, but in some of the videos would you mind putting measurements down in metric and standard. It helps to be able to know the information you’re getting as soon as you hear it. Other than that, this is a really good and in-depth video.
Refusing to learn ISO standards I see
@@cosmonot3242 honestly wasn’t thinking of it that way when I commented that, but I guess that’s how that sounds.
which one is it, 2022 or 2023? Title suggest video leaps into feature, while kobra 2 got released.
What’s the best one to make actions figures?
SLA printers are mainly all designed to print action figures.
So it just depends on what your budget range is.
I seem to see a lot of junk drawer type items printed with 3d printers. Is there anything really useful you can make with them?
You can make functional things like door handles, widgets you find useful, or maybe a product to sell. Junk drawer is fun though
@@wkern74 Cool, I'm trying to find a way to make it pay for itself basically 🤔
@@fuzzbuzz6581 I think it can but takes work and dedication like any business
Can you do a Print review of Expensive printers under 1000$
I bought ender 3 and it didn’t work. The first time I turned it on the control screen was just blue and never allowed me to print so when I looked up the problem the solution said I needed to update the software so I did that nothing worked. I just received my replacement ender 3 and they sent me a refurbished one and when I turned it on the same thing just a blank screen and the fans all smelled like they were burning ender is a crappy 3D printer
You did a great job on demonstrating 5 of the worst printers you NEVER want to own or buy! Your viewers need to find quality educated videos..
Wow,, my head is about to explode.
what songs did you use
What is the best all round printer in your opinion?
4+ years in and many, many printers. direct drive, heated bed, dual z rods or xy cartesian, the rest is personal choice. there are many more choices than this video. you have to think about what you want from the printer then go from there.
@@af3ktd Thx for the info!
How are 3D printers with HDPE? I want to make my own filament and HDPE is everywhere for free.
Is the ender 3 neo good for beginers
Hey E guy,
Yes, it is pretty good for beginners :)
What’s the songs?
for a beginner, which one is better? Ender-3 S1 or Ender-3 V2 Neo?
I would say the Elegoo Neptune 4 pro is a better choise.
@@balazsmarton5431 If you can find one lol
ive bought 3 ender 3d printers and only 1 worked out of the box and it only worked for 2 months
Nice video, but your voice too low and i hear more the bass of the beat that actually the video explanation.
Thanks for the tip. Sorry about that.
think imma get the ender 3 s1.
Great Choice :)
Ender 3 are very nice but that fokoos is the craziest most reliable printer I have seen and I have 12 Different types of printers including the ender 3 which I love and there is more information And videos of people using the ender 3 but that at fokoos is amazing but the coming out with another machine that is going to be a lot faster With the same print quality right now it’s in a Kickstarter which work at a 300 ms can’t wait
Also the x and y Access is better especially with less ghosting then the Ender 3
Do most 3D printers consume a lot of electricity, and with the cost of everything rising after a few hours of printing, is the cost high?
Its not that expensive, it depends on the printer, and on where you live.
But you can expect the cost to range between 1 to 10 cents per hour. which is quite reasonable.
@@LuigisProductReviews Many thanks for getting back to me
Mistake.. FoKoos has a direct drive. 12:25
Fortunately, there are BETTER videos about 3D printers elsewhere on TH-cam. They offer better clarity of discussion and explanation without all the background noise.
Hello WSD, do you have any videos that you could recommend me that has less background noises and overall better clarity for beginners like myself, I really appreciate it.
The background noise was way to loud but overall I think they did pretty good. I got what I needed to know from it
Ppl lay off he tried not all of us are great wsd
At least he's putting out videos for us beginners so you should probably lay off and just appreciate what he's doing
Didn't even give an example of a video even tho someone asked sovim doubting u actually found a video a year ago that was better but now I bet there is
the focus printer is direct drive, not boden.
Great music video with some 3d printers in the background
Flashforge links instead of Qidi? Flashforge payed more!
LK5 PRO this printer is not so great, it's not fully compatible with Cura, comes with a warp bed and no BLtouch.
Umm I’m a beginner and I got a longer Lk5 pro printer
my goodness that BG music was loud! Made me bail on the video.
BRO please lower this background noise, we can't hear what actually matters
I’d give this two likes if I could!!
If you dont buy a printer with auto bed leveling, you gonna waste your money... It sucks to level it after every print. I had ender 3pro, at the beginning it was no problem, after sometime i got tired of doing it.
Few days ago i ordered bambu p1s to solve my problems forever
I haven't heard of any of these printers
Is there a way to shut the background music?
Sadly not. Sorry about that
Imagine slowing down video to make it go longer than 10min.
I can't hear what you're saying.
What's the purpose of the ***** high background music?!!
So much music... what are you sayyiiing? Yell LOUUUDER! xD
2:53... prtiners? 😅
Shhhhhh :D
