Flashforge 10745 3D Printer Creator Pro Dual Extruder Printer with Optimized Build Plate and Upgraded Spool Holder

Have only printed a hand full of things so far but from what iv done i can say its acturate and clean, just make sure you level the bed properly and make sure there isn't any loose filliment on the nozzles. Speaking of this comes with 2 spools that hold quite a respectable about of filament. Overall couldn't be happier with this printer

This is my second Flashforge Creator Pro - both purchased from Technology Outlet via Amazon. Whilst this printer does not have the largest print volume on the market, it is a very reliable model. I have rarely had a failed print. Out of the box the first thing you need to do is attach the print heads. This can be a bit fiddly as you need to insert the screws from the underside of the rail.Once the print head is attached, you can power up the printer and get ready for your first print. Part of the preparation is levelling the bed. This is a manual operation, with the use of a supplied card and smalle executable program on the SD card that comes with the printer. There are only three thumb screws you need to adjust to level the bed - it usually takes me less than 5 minutes to complete this task. After levelling the bed you need to load the filament. I use the right hand nozzle, which is the default one selected by the slicing software. You can change it to the left nozzle, but I have not seen the need to do this (the left nozzle is recommended for PLA as it has the cooling fan). I have not had any problems printing with PLA through the right nozzle.One thing I like about this printer, and the reason I have purchased a second on is it's reliability. I have three Flashforge 3d Printers in total - two Creator Pros and a Guider IIs. The Guider IIs has a much bigger build volume and costs a fair bit more. I have had several issues with the Guider IIs and it has been out of action for long periods of time. Support from Flashforge is excellent and they have always helped me get the Guider IIs up and running again - even after the warranty ran out. My Flashforge Creator Pro has never broken down or had an issue that required me to take apart the nozzle assembly. It just keeps going.

First off, I'll say that the print come out fantastic for larger pieces, i have not yet had a print fail. Comes with two spools which will last you a good while. enclosure shield everything from drafts and out side influences. I would recommend this printer over any i have previously owned (Prusa and Monoprice).I have 2 problems that I think are worth noting. 1 the bed adhesion is amazing, too amazing. I can't remove pieces (mainly miniature) with finer connection from the be without them breaking with deafult settings, I still tweak things to reduce put it either sticks hard or not at all.The right extruder keeps getting blocked each time i remove a filament where i need dismantle the extruder to clear it before i can load a new filament. The tech team have been quick and very helpful, so i at least have reached a point where i am comfortable to do this.For this i will make this 4 stars

Purchased this 3d printer to allow me to work on some personal projects. I spent a little time researching a number of different printers and at this price point it’s difficult to find any alternatives offering dual extrusion which aren’t essentially clones of one another(and this).Never 3d printed before this purchase. If I’m honest I was expecting it to be more difficult. I followed the instructions to disassemble the packaging and finish setting up the printer which must have taken less then 30 mins. Loaded the filament, levelled the bed and started my test cube, which printed very well out of the box.There’s a number of aftermarket upgrades which can be printed available on thingiverse with relative ease. I would recommend replacing the spool holders, spool guide cooling duct and adding a tpu door draft excluder to improve this already fantastic product however I can’t mark this down for them not being included as for me it was all part of the fun and helped me learn how to print. Finally I did replace the bed with glass but that was more for the shiny finish then the adhesion.Flashprint works well out the box with the default profiles however you may wish to enter expert mode and turn the extrusion ratios down a little in places since they seem to default to 109%So far I’ve had good results with tpu, abs and pla. more to follow I hope.

Difficult to write a really objective review - this is my first 3D printer, but I did a lot of research before buying. It's obviously not the best machine out there, and I with it could print nylon, but for the money it's obviously good value. I love the twin heads.I've not printed much yet, but what I have made has functioned well enough.A big drawback for me is removal of the print. I have tried with and without a raft and have broken some smaller prints. I need to do some research on how to improve (that using teflon, silicon or ptfe perhaps...).

Great 3D printer for the price but there a few Cons that could be easily fixed by Flashforge.1) NO Wi-Fi or ethernet connection2) NO removable build plate3) NO out-of-filament detection4) The filament reels are different from the other Flashforge 3D printers, they're only available in 1 Kg and not 0.5 Kg and PLA filament has a limited shelf life after the seal is broken of the filament reel.5) The filament holders do not allow for other manufacturers filament, including Amazon's own but there are 3D printer files available online for different holders.Personally I think the Pros out way the Cons but Flashforge please fix these very simple upgrades and it would be 5 stars.
