Geeetech A10 3D Printer
Posted: Fri Nov 22, 2019 1:58 pm
A while ago, I was approached by Geeetech to take a look at their 3D Printers.
First, I am fascinated at the spelling of their name...so many E's!
Like most Chinese printers, it's largely a direct copy of something else...in this case, the Ender 3 (something I would be interested in checking out)
That said, they offered me a small discount from the $199 price tag to purchase one, try out and review.
It arrives next week and I am curious to see what it can do.
Print Volume is about the size of the Ultimaker (223 x 223 x 205 mm)...the A10 is 220 x 220 x 260
I'm curious if anyone has toyed with one yet? This one has a touch screen and wifi,
I'm hope the build quality is good.
Here's the link to Aliexpress for the make/model I picked up: https://www.aliexpress.com/store/produc ... _6047561.8
As my friend Tim Hoogland at TH3D mentioned to me recently, the frustrating thing with these printers from China is what is displayed on the order page can vary drastically from what you actually receive. He has purchased the same model printers a month apart and each have a wide variety of differences. Different setup of the rollers on the bed (staggered versus parallel), different hot ends and so on.
But at $199, it's pretty impressive to see where we are at the scale and size of printers in this price range from a year ago.
A year ago, a $200 printer would be a 4 inch by 4 inch print bed, no heated bed and probably something more of a novelty than a serious printer.
I'll let you guys know!
