It also recognises automatically what filament you are using (provided that you have bought the Dremel accessories range with the built in rfid tag). My first prints in pla worked like a dream, nylon and abs were effortless. Check on youtube and I found Adam Savage “Tested: Dremel 3D45 3D Printer!

Having reached the age of being called a silver surfer (Mid 70's) it was with some trepidation that I took the plunge to buy my fist 3D printer. First 3d printer I’ve owned and I literally have it unpacked and printing within 5 minutes. As fans of all things gadgety, we were thrilled to be given the opportunity to test this 'Dremel Printer 3D40 FLEX (230 V, Flexible Build Plate, 1 PLA Filament, 3.

What an amazing machine, I’ve had this for a few weeks now and failed prints due to machine errors are non existent. 3) User error when custom setting parameters can also lead to fatal errors and is more likely the problem than printer error. So far it seems if it comes in a white box means no rfid. We were pleased to note that the printing process is both quiet and there was no smell from it at all (however one should still make sure that the printer is used in a reasonably well-ventilated area, as obviously plastic chemicals aren't the best to breathe in).

I used Fusion 360 (free for the home user) to design the replacement part and with any number of tutorials on YouTube made rapid progress and found the experience enjoyable and productive. The integrated touch screen looked fine when the printer was switched off, but when the printer was switched on the screen was clearly broken.

Both are very similar but the 3D45 can print in a wider array of materials (PLA, ABS, nylon) and has a heated glass print bed. Any problems with it? If I had known how easy the this printer make the whole process I should have taken the plunge much sooner.

Now the printer. So I never did run the wizard and the component parts of that can be run separately anyway. I am generally impressed and it being in a cabinet does have advantages but an open one can cost less and print larger items. I think the range of filaments available from Dremel is unfortunately quite limited; I was disappointed to discover that Eco-ABS is not proper ABS but a modified PLA, not that I really know the difference.

Version 2 of the Tardis will be in blue. I read a criticism that the 3D45 touchscreen would not respond as quickly as expected but mine seems efficient and quickly responsive, so no doubt there has been a Firmware upgrade. I chose the 3D45 on account of the excellent reviews I had read particularly in regard to its ease-of-use and quality output.
