A10M worth?

Post by Subte » Sat Jul 06, 2019 8:08 am

I want to buy a second printer, I have an Ender 3, it works very well.
I am hesitating to buy another Ender or try an A10M. Normally I will print with only one color, but I do not mind spending a little more for having the casual option of printing two colors.
It's worth it, is it reliable? Will I lose quality over the Ender using a single extruder?

Thanks a lot

Ok, how about the new bed? Geeetech don't send the glass bed more? I saw this on Banggood. I have a question about the nozzle size, it's a special size?

Hi, now replace the glass plate with a Mylar sheet. The nozzle is 0.4mm.

Bi-color printing is much more difficult than single color. Do not expect a ease of use like with the Ender3. Expect to struggle to find good profiles for Cura or S3d.
That said it is also very rewarding to make a nice bicolor or gradient print. I'm happy with my A10M because I love to mix colors but so far I always have to tweak a lot with settings and failed a BUNCH or prints for misc reasons
If Geeetech could provide a good (and working) Cura 4.1 profile, that would be great...
