i would have really not tasted and swallowed that clay... in nature, at some site, in the forest... yes, no issues but out of that bag? from a factory you have no clue what they are doing? theres so much ewy chemistry added to modeling clay.... to be honest i feel like if you ate a teaspoon of every clay you could buy in the stores here, some would be no issue, and some would be a painway way to go

i have 4 lk5 pros, they are in my basement where the rest of my printers are located and i dont hear anything, i guess i am used to the noise and drown it out. But your fans do sound louder than the 4 of mine combined. I did how ever replace all the fans with much better fans, even at that the stock fans were not as loud as the one you have. printing issues are very minimal. i hardly dry any of my filament and get awesome prints. I have to believe that most of your issues are subjective to you in my opinion. I have a ender 3 S1 pro and it sits under the desk collecting dust because of all the issues i have with it. i hope you get these figured out because the lk5 pro does really produce some high quality prints.

My fan is way too loud. Did you replace the fan?

Brilliant.

Just tip when you use clay and you want to make wet it better use dry clay

ooooh Darwin!! <3

you're the fuc*ing best! hahaha loved every second of it and veeery educational! subbed! <3

Been using my LK5 pros for 6 moths flawlessly. They’re great. 🤷🏻‍♂️. Mine are the dual blower upgraded model.

I have no issues with the sound. However, I wouldn't put in my bedroom, while I'm trying to sleep.

dont be so arrogant lol, it should be one of the easiest, and you can use s larger siringe fixed to the frame just above a drill screw printer head. i have read clay printers use heating, and with a hair dryer you would have succesfuly printed complex clay forms as it dries. also one of the simplest way would be clay powder sintering with a solar lense heating the clay dust with jet binder at 1400 degrees, you can keep the motors outside the furnace enclosure with chain belts and zero plastic 3d printer

I have to build my own paste extruder for my grad school thesis work. Here are a few notes that I have that may help others in the future. First of all there's a chemical called darvan 7 which increases the fluidity of the clay (deflocculation). If you keep adding water to the clay it will have cracking and strength issues due to shrinkage during water loss. Secondly as others have said, adding cellulose fibers (e.g. egg cartons in blender works well) will improve the working properties of the clay. Lastly as others have also said, is better to start from a dry mix of clay and then add all of the extra ingredients that you need and the exact amount of water that you need. Wedging it or running it through a pug mill is also important to remove air bubbles and to increase plasticity but do not over wedge the clay.

Thanks for sharing this wealth of knowledge. Just starting to dabble in this art and your video was immensely helpful.

what is the thread dimension of the lead screw?

Which lead size did you select for the lead screw?

Another shortfall is the controller and file handling. In these days where so many have tackled the challenge of file handling, these guys are still in the mid-eighties. The controller will only display a limited number of files on the root of the SD card and it does this badly. In some cases, there is a missing (blank) line where a file should be and choosing a displayed file does not always give you the file you selected. In some cases, you can select the blank line and get a file but not necessarily the file you know to be on the card that is not showing up in the list. You can't convince me that Longer software developers have not seen this. It is too easy to reproduce. There are amateurs using open source boards and software who can do better. I give this a D for Do Over.

Richtig cool, dass du deinen Drucker vorgestellt hast 😃

My only problem is that the silicone protector fell off and I can get it on perfectly

Really I waited the whole time to hear something bad and your only complaint is the fan…….pathetic way to get a view.good way to get a comment I guess smfh

I was pretty interested in 3D clay printing and joined the Google+ group with Tom Lauerman and others that were doing amazing stuff, but then Google+ shut down and the group kind of disbanded, and I left it at that. Maybe one day.

8:50 You didn't come back in a year, so I assume motors didn't break? :>

Nice analysis. May I add the first thing that I noticed. I am new to 3D so I went through a little youtube training (thanks to all those who provide it) and saw the accepted method for loading and unloading filament. After my third cycle, the printer would not run due to filament missing. Inspection of the limit switch for the filament showed that the lever on the switch was broken at the tip. Yes, not worn, but broken. The lever portion of the switch is 0.5mm thick and the shape is such that drawing an unloaded filament out will break it. I have had to amend the process to clean cut the filament being extracted at the extruder gear and then pulling it out. Longer did not choose the limit switch wisely and could have used switches with much more robust levers at no increase in cost.

like the "search highlighted word " nice build

Wow bud I should tell you As a consumer of many 3-D printers, I got six of them. Anyways always look on the SD card. If you’re plans aren’t complete that’s the rule of thumb and if you don’t understand that you’ve not been in the game for a very long, sir.

I took mine right out of the box and didn't need to adjust any of the guide wheels and the bed was perfectly level. I have printed over 60 different things on it and the bed is still level and I haven't needed to adjust it at all

Little late to the party but the longer it takes cement/concrete to cure the stronger it is. 20-28 days being optimal.

I bought mine slightly second hand, previous owner used it allegedly for a short time just to "test it". Soon noticed that the heat bed is a little concaved in the middle, no matter how many times I leveled it, it's still like this. Then I noticed that the Y-belt tilts to the one side on the stepper pulley. Was sure, that the stepper bracket isn't completely right angled,. It was. The real reason was, that the belt had a twist in it. And since it was hidden in the extruded aluminium frame, you really couldn't see it. And those metal clips that hold down the class cover, scrape off the coating from the copper rails off the heat bed...

Everyone has their opinion but I’ve had this printer for months and most of the non printing criticisms are completely bogus. Sorry

Your mileage may vary. Didn't have any of these issues. Mine operates in a sound treated room that is kept very cool, so that could be part of it.

You have some valid points, but over all too much whining about fan noise, yea I can buy better fans and prob will, but I bought mine refurbed from longer for under 200 usd so I can fix the minor issues, and still be under the cost of a factory new printer

Yea the paper manual is crap, the video is much better

That was awesome! This is the video I have been looking for, A new subscriber for sure. I am in the process of making a video on 2D printer to do the same thing but it will be done inside of a toasted so that I can put my bread in and have a finished piece of toast covered in a layer of whatever is chosen! Your extruder will help a lot so thank you!

Thanks for sharing 💕 you are awesome 👏

Good job bro

For the price it is a great printer not everyone has access too a 1000.00 for a printer you are definitely spoiled

Hey! Thanks for the video! I just bought this machine and I'm looking for safety glasses. Do you a have a brand in particular or any orange glasses will do the job with a blue laser?

The official language of the WORLD is English, asshole! And since you speak English, stop bitching and making a big deal about every single minute thing you can find. Not even three minutes into this video, and I already don't like you. Probably won't finish it, as it seems a waste of time and there are better reviewers for this product. This is already the worst review I've seen on this printer, and the funny thing is I'm only being a tiny bit as anal about your shortcomings as you were about those of this printer...

Mal ne kritische review, danke für die Offenheit

There exists a new coldend / part cooling fan unit from longer which you can retrofit.

I am curious why other reviews are top notch. Noise as well as print quality. You adressed that question but i still don’t understand the differences.

Couldn't we replace ourselves almost all of the shortcomings with better parts and end up with a nice quality long lasting printer?

Please use de-esser.

Constantijn you should use the 3D printer to print a heart for Leni :)))))

Good review but too much cursing 🤬. Very unprofessional.

What is the correct nozzle for it? I can’t seem to find any info on that

after less than ten prints I'm having to replace parts such as the filament sensor. That's weak for sure

Friend,I really appreciate your work. We are looking for reviewers, would you like to review Longer's laser engraver RAY5 10W?

I have the same printer and the fan noise is annoying

I have the same printer and mine is very quiet

only 2 hours to cut that tower? wouldve taken 4x longer with a 3d printer.
