Opinion about printer.

Post by anrkii » Tue Nov 13, 2018 10:36 am

I like the A30, but I have had a few issues with it:
The z rods were extremely wobbly, flopping all over the place, they appeared to be badly bent. I removed the rods and they were not actually bent, the couplers to the stepper motors were poorly made and not centered, flexing the rods. Replaced the couplers with another brand and the z-axis wobble was fixed.
Then the plastic extruder fell apart, within 30 hrs of printing, it broke around the stepper mounting holes and would no longer work. Replaced that as well with an upgraded part.
All of the VREF values of the drivers were way off, making the Y and extruder motors too hot to touch, easily fixed with an adjustment.
The firmware upgrade is a bit confusing also, but I got it done.
Even with these issues, I feel that the A30 is a great value for the price, and I do like the printer very much.
I do not regret my purchase.
