Review On Value

This FlashForge 3D printer is selling on Amazon for $699.00 and ships free for Amazon Prime Members. This is a quality clone of the Makerbot Replicator 2x 3D printer which sells on Amazon for a lot more.

Review On Quality

Buying a quality 3D printer is an investment that requires extensive research to determine what machine will ultimately meet the user’s needs. Considering factors such as affordability, durability, features, support and customer reviews, the FlashForge Creator Pro is by far one of the best mid-range 3D printers on the market. The FlashForge Creator Pro has enough capacity to build prototypes, working components, figurines, etc. Users are seemingly limited only by their imagination.

The FlashForge Creator Pro features dual spool feeds, a sturdy metal frame, a warp resistant 6.3 mm aluminum build platform that quickly dissipates excess heat, a super-clear acrylic panel, a heavy-duty Z-axis guide rod for sturdy and precise movement, and much more. The software (FlashPrint) included with the machine is user friendly, however, many users suggest using Simplify3D slicer software to streamline the overall process. Additionally, there is an SD memory card slot and a USB interface for users to connect their computer to this printer (compatible with Windows, Mac and Linux). 

Like most 3D printers, this machine does have a learning curve. Patience is truly the key to success. Users will need to adjust the nozzle from time to time. Overall, users are happy with the capabilities and quality of this 3D printer giving it 4.3 out of 5 stars with over 1,100 reviews.
