I am not convinced the extra grand for this printer is worth it when I compare to the Flashforge Guider 2 with a very similar build size (280 X 250 X 300). I do appreciate the input about it though.

I would be curious on the touchpad issue if you “ground” yourself by touching the frame before touching it, does it make a difference. If you have built up a bit of a “charge” it can interfere with using this type of pad.

You do you man, no worries on my part. I personally I’m not a huge fan of flashforge as their machines are so freakin’ loud. Had two different models in my shop for repairs and they were both noticeable louder than all my other machines beside an old Delta. Made it tough to talk to customers when they were running. As a print service, I’m a bit surprised you’re not trying to maximize your build volume. Big prints are where the money is at right now, atleast on a corporate business scale.

The buildquality of Raise3D is much better than Flasgforge. Look at the big ball-spindle in the Raise3D and compare it with the Flashforge :).

This machine is for me a real disaster for a price of 3.5K €.

  1. A student in industrial design would do a lot better. The technical choices are extremely bad

  2. Hardware, electronics, USB extension Unitek (I do not know if this is allowed) is of a very poor quality

  3. The leveling of the bed is unstable according to the temperature

  4. Extruders are bad and too heavy. The XY axes flex under their weight and prevent a constant extruder / bed play adjustment over the entire surface of the
    plateau (up to 0.1-0.2mm). Except improvement (resellers included) can not make a good adjustment of this printer.

  5. The cable-holder chain used anyhow also weighs on the extruders

I only had problems with this printer, and it can not even serve as an aquarium.

In fact, it is a prototype produced in series that Raise3D offers without shame. According to them, transportation is the cause of many worries, it is the only absurd excuse they have found.

In France, some of us will probably go to court to get a refund.
