The da Vinci's spec sheet boasts features formerly seen only on other company's flagship models: an enclosed develop volume, heated glass develop plate, LCD Display, aided leveling, integrated nozzle cleaner, and front panel controls (although they are for altering filament and bed leveling just, not untethered printing). It's packaged like a customer item (no subjected cords) and the build volume is neatly confined behind transparent plastic. We examined the solitary extrusion version, however a dual has recently appeared.
Da Vinci 3D Printer Review
Microchipped, Proprietary Plastic
Our plan clearly had some major international miles on it, but everything
was well jam-packed and in good order. Inside the box was a quick-start guide, basic toolkit, and one exclusive microchip-embedded cartridge of ABDOMINAL filament (a 600g cartridge is $28, minimal shades). Configuration was simple, and the guidelines for loading the filament are printed on the within the maker's top cover.
Print Like It's 2010
XYZ's software is tailored toward newbie individuals with user-friendly controls, however the software application has some quirks. Workflow is exclusively one-way. Once a model is sliced it can not be adjusted-- change anything and also you'll have to refill and begin again. The software application's most glaring drawback is its slicer, which seems like a very early model, indifferently putting down plastic with little regard to geometric problems or input settings. Standard settings like layer height and also infill didn't seem to have any kind of effect on the published result.
The da Vinci's print quality is roughly on par with exactly what you would have seen from a kit-built maker in 2010. Its ratings were consistently low in every category we examined. The premature slicing engine as well as low-grade gantry system make it tough for the da Vinci to generate prints with great information or dimensional precision.
Conclusion
The da Vinci looks and prints specifically like the inexpensive customer item it is. This is the non reusable inkjet of 3D printing. It's a low-cost, (primarily) user friendly choice for hobbyists and more youthful trainees.
