3D Printer for Beginners, Kids or Teens (Easythreed X2 mini 3D Printer)

I'm assuming people who have left good reviews have never owned a 3d printer before. I'm yet to complete a print. 20 mins in i get a thermal overload warning that pauses the print but keeps feeding pla so totally ruins the print into melting mess. The easythreed cutting software will tell you it will take 1 hour and use 6 meters of pla. It will actually take 30 mins then go into thermal overload. I'll be returning this because its absolutely useless. This may just be because I've got a dodgy one. Yours may work fine. Until it gets sorted it's 1 star. I'll wait to see how good customer service is from this seller before my YouTube review.

I already own a resin printer (Elegoo Mars) but I really wanted to try an FDM printer because I was finding resin really unpleasant to handle. I was prepared to accept that the quality would never be as good as resin so I wanted a cheap one to try out and the Easythreed X2 seemed like a good starting point.I have to admit, I was amazed! Set up was really easy- I got the whole thing running within 10 minutes. It is really quiet, the supplied software is super easy and the results are more than good enough (considering the price).Sooner or later I will probably upgrade to something more expensive but, for now, I am more than happy with the results that this little printer is delivering.Update May 2023- this review is based on the amount of money I paid for this in 2021 (around £80). I have seen this printer for sale for over £100 which is definitely NOT worth it. This is a very cheap and cheerful printer and it is important to keep that in mind before you buy. With that said, the printer is still working and has had encountered no real problems since the time of my original review. That in itself is pretty amazing!

The Easythreed 3D printer, is very easy and quick to set up, with videos to guide you step by step how to set up. It suggests and recommends a variety of 3D printing softwares and has its own Easythreed slicing software( which is also very easy to understand and use) . It also provides filament for you to print your first model. The printing quality exceeds your expectations. It’s a great way to start your 3D printing journey.

Returned it on the same day. When I assembled the product I saw marks on the plastic where the two screws go. That was the first red flag.Then when I tried to load filament I realised that it wouldn't go through the nozzle. After spending some time cleaning and unclogging the nozzle,I tried printing but I had no luck, it would restart everytime it hit the temperature for printing. So my main issue is not the faulty machine, it is the unreliable seller that had the machine returned and then packed it again to re-sell it without ever bothering fixing it.

I have an ultimaker 3 extended was curious to see the difference this is a good little printer for the price , its max speed is 40mm but its nice and small and very handy to use for beginner , prints are good for the price.

Impressive printer with capability to print moving parts!!

Got this for my daughters birthday as she wanted to 3d print like me and I now wish I just paid the extra £30 for a better printer, it's really small, poorly made, cheap parts and plastic not worth the money, if you want a decent printer go for anycubic or any of the other none brands, you will get your moneys worth then.

This is the easythreed x2 with upgraded control system and added colling fan for the pla. Quality of prints is amazing! I have an Anet et4 that cost 4x more and this little printer is just as good! My son loves it, software is also very easy to use. Only downside would be the small print area and the wooden 1kg spool holder is useless.
