Top 10 Chinese 3D Printers | 3D Print Expo

There is a wide range of 3D printers on the market today. The most reliable and high-quality devices for three-dimensional printing from American or European manufacturers are considered. However, not everyone can afford them due to the high cost. A good alternative to expensive devices is Chinese printers. Such equipment is functional, but inexpensive. Let's take a closer look at the top ten 3D printers from Chinese manufacturers. nine0003

How to choose a 3D printer: selection criteria

When choosing a 3D printer, pay attention to the following parameters and characteristics:

• scope of use of the device. Today, Chinese companies produce construction and industrial printers, equipment for commercial and home use. Before making a purchase, decide for what purpose you need a 3D device;
• printing technology. There are three most common 3D printing technologies: SLA, FDM and SLS. nine0010
• SLA is suitable for creating more "precise" products (jewelry, detailed objects, etc.). FDM is realized by layer-by-layer deposition of molten material. SLS is the most reliable printing method. With its help, prototypes and full-featured products are produced;
• print materials. The most popular consumables for 3D printing include: ABS, PLA, PET, PETT, PVA, HIPS. Also, for the manufacture of three-dimensional products, more specific raw materials are used: metal, carbon fiber, concrete, etc.; nine0010
• printer mechanics. These are all moving and static elements of equipment: body, guides, bearings and much more. The reliability of the device, its speed and smoothness depend on their quality;
• print speed. The parameter depends on the quality of the mechanics and the printer body. If the frame of the apparatus is made of a more durable material, such as metal, then its moving elements move faster;
• print area. The larger the work area, the larger objects you can print on it. nine0010

Please note that many Chinese 3D printers are sold unassembled. You need to collect them with your own hands. In addition, some devices need additional upgrades. Buying them is for those who have a high level of technical literacy.

Improving the TEVO Tarantula 3D printer: metal parts instead of acrylic

Very often I see reports that Prusa i3 clones are not recommended for purchase as a first printer.
In fact, there is nothing terrible or special about these 3D printers - you just need to “prepare” them correctly.

In the topic we will talk about replacing stock parts made of acrylic with similar ones, but made of metal. nine0183

Greetings to the regulars of this site.
I myself bought a 3D printer for myself just according to the recommendations from here: there were reviews on the Tevo Tarantula, as well as on a similar HE3D.

There were no special problems to assemble and set it up, but I will say that there are some “childish” sores.
Basically, they face the problem of table calibration - the acrylic panel that holds the aluminum heating table does not provide the necessary rigidity. It is treated by replacing the plastic part with a metal one, you can even cut it out yourself according to the old one. nine0183 Yes, and during the time of use, it suffered a couple of times for me (I mixed up the limit switches, the Z drive did not work out the touch - it pressed through the panel until it crackled).

Secondly, the crossbar is usually warped with the X axis when moving up and down, due to the fact that the printer initially has only one motor along the Z axis.
And, thirdly, all carriages and holders, including motor holders, are plastic (acrylic). This is not gud.

After about six months of using a 3D printer, I gradually began to follow the advice from the English-speaking FB group, there were drawings and recommendations (install portal extensions, replace part of the carriages, use a base to mount the printer, and so on). nine0183
The last straw was that I broke the part that holds the printer table.
This also added a desire for some improvements (for example, add a second extruder).
With the help of the same enthusiasts, a set of parts for Tevo was cut.

In general, not all parts can be changed, but only critical ones that provide frame rigidity and calibration.
But in the end everything was done.

Here is the same, unfortunate detail, because of its acrylic "brother" I had to redo everything. nine0183
The quality of cutting on a laser machine can be seen on the walls of the part.

Parts for upgrading the Tevo 3D printer.

I did not fix the assembly process, it corresponds to the standard instructions

After assembling the printer, you need to again configure, pull the belts, and calibrate.
