XYZ Da Vinci 1.0a from 2015
Ender 3 was my first printer. Itâs been great so far (a couple of years).
I had a failed Tiko as my first. It was a tragic project too much new things with not enough we know this works things. It started me off but in the end really was a futile exercise. It worked ok at best and the issues came down to the core design. It is likely why I just want 3D printers to work out of the box.
Panowin f1, jâĂ©tais sĂ©duit par le fait que tous les axes fonctionnaient avec vis, pas de courroies. Jâai payĂ© un peu plus de 500$ pour une surface dâimpression de 12 x 12 cm. La machine ne fonctionne plusâŠ
Jâai du travailler trĂšs fort pour obtenir des impressions correctes. Le plateau Ă©tait inĂ©gal et nâĂ©tait pas au niveau et il nây avait pas dâajustement possible sur la machine. Jâai changĂ© la base de mĂ©tal pour pouvoir placer des vis dâajustement sous le module de lâaxe de Y. Jâai fixĂ© une plaque de verre sur le plateau avec du ruban double face et jâai ajoutĂ© des plaques de verre sous les piliers de lâaxe Z pour compenser. Jâai aussi modĂ©lisĂ© et imprimĂ© un support pour les bobines de filament. Lâimprimante Ă bien fonctionnĂ©e pendant deux ans. Jâavais aussi achetĂ© un petit laser qui pouvait se fixer Ă la place de la tĂȘte dâimpression. Câest probablement les changements de tĂȘtes qui ont brisĂ© les fils!
Man, I remember that kickstarter, that machine had so much potential! To bad it didnât fly.
@frozenrc it was a cool ,machine. I donât regret backing it I just wish they didât over extend themselves. I think it would still be around.
that Panowin f1 looks crazy heavy-duty, would be something I would look at just to check out the engineering in it.
@RogerGaudreau just for curiosity do you have any other pics of it showing some of the design elements?
Hi Jason,
Here some photos! Direct drive extruder, dual z screw, all axis on the same type of screw.

My first 3d printer was an Adimlab Gantry-s i bought last year in June. Its essentially an ender 3 copy, but had a good community and at that time i couldnt find an ender 3 on amazon for the same price.
Its had a few things changed here and there. Its mostly a testbed for me to learn about 3d printers, as now i have a prusa mini and CR10s Pro.
Voxelab Proxima resin printer. I absolutely love it, and use it daily.
Tevo Tarantula, good to have built it but I think now I am going to repurpose it into a CNC machine.
Now have CR10s Pro V1 at home and (2) Xinkebotâs and a Kelant resin printer at work. Not enough time in the day to enjoy them all.
i first got started with a Tinkerine dittopro at the local manshed when i was doing a drafting and 3d printing course in grade 9. Now (2 years later) i run an ender5 pro no updates yet but might add a direct drive
My first and current printer, an Ender 3V2 but the more I mod it the less it resembles the machine I purchased.
Great question! The very first 3D printer I owned was a Prusa i3 MK2, which I purchased several years ago. I had been fascinated by 3D printing for a while, and after doing some research and reading reviews, I decided to take the plunge and invest in my own printer.
When I first got started in the 3D printing world, I had no prior experience with CAD modeling or 3D design. So, I spent a lot of time learning the basics of 3D modeling and tinkering with various design software programs.
After I had created some designs that I was happy with, I began printing them on my Prusa i3 MK2. It was definitely a learning curve, as I had to figure out the best settings for my printer and how to troubleshoot any issues that came up during the printing process.
However, the more I printed and learned, the more I fell in love with the possibilities that 3D printing offered. Since then, Iâve upgraded to newer printers and continued to learn and explore the world of 3D printing.
Overall, getting started in the 3D printing world was a bit daunting at first, but it has been a rewarding experience and Iâm excited to see how this technology continues to evolve in the future.
