That said, nothing is perfect. While I have no specific experience with the printers, there seems to be some disgruntled owners who don't seem to be happy with the carbon fiber rods. While they are light and probably the very thing which gets them to move so quickly, I have my doubts about their suitability for a wear surface over stainless.

Could be a non-concern, but if I were you, I would look into this by gathering comments from long-time users, and decide whether or not this is a real thing before deciding. There must be something to it, as the company has released a "how to clean" video for them. This makes me concerned that the surface is wearing and gunking up the bearing, leading to jams. But again, who knows for sure?

I have seen many comments on Reddit about the need to clean those carbon fiber rods when prints start looking bad. They must gunk up regularly. If it’s the actual rod wearing down that could be a huge problem long term. I’m not a big fan of being an early adopter for this very reason and will probably wait until these printers have been out for at least a year before I decide whether or not to pick one up.

FWIW the Prusa XL also looks like another promising new printer, but details on it have been pretty limited so far. Would be nice if it ended up printing as fast as the Bambu printers…

bought a refurb Longer lk5 pro.
300x300 bed.
won't finish a print.
they sent me new parts including a mainboard.
it just stopped 20hrs in. acting like it lost power.
it didn't.
then it does it again a few hrs later and each time it does it it takes less time until it can't print more than a few mins before claiming it lost power.
feels like a heat issue.

according to the FB groups Longer has really poor quality control on their mainboards and it took multiple mainboards sent to them before the problem was fixed.
i bought it just before chinese NY so i've had a printer for months that doesn't work.
waiting weeks for each new part.

was going to just send it back then decided to grab a SKR-PICO and convert it to Klipper.
I have the pico loaded with klipper.
have the pico default config and have a lk5 pro config from the manufacturer.
going to add the printer specific stuff to the default config and then start testing running it off an old laptop with linux.

everything should be fine. ;D

pbj:
7 years later and none of you has a 3D printer that works.

Peak BYOAC.

:applaud:

Mine is still working :cheers:

Prusa FTW

I have multiple 3d printers that work.
they are just too small for some of the models i want to print.
