I Tested 25 Different 3D Printers. This One Wins.

I've put 25 different 3D Printers to the test and somehow this one is my most reliable and one of the best priced as well! #3dprinting #3dprinter #christmasgifts

First of all, if they give you printers you are technically sponsored. The fact that you can't name a single negative point or limitation mean you have a big bias because of this sponsoring. If you only print with PLA it might be a good choice. But what about PETG, TPU, ABS? Max nozzle temp of 250C and max bed temp of 75C really limit you and should be mentioned.

I bought this printer based on your recommendation and could not be more disappointed. The metal heat bed is severely warped making it impossible to level or print on, and longer support is non existent.

Even if you dont open the package and want to return the product they will not give a full refund. If you open it and find out it doesnt work, they will take a larger portion. If something goes wrong ane you want to warranty a specific part like a warped heatbed, they will ghost you. Now I'm forced to go through the Consumer Protection Bureau to hopefully get any kind of resolution.

Thanks bro.

I got this printer after watching the review video you posted a while back. This was my first personal printer, I have few at work that cost much more but this one is my favorite. As a starter or for people like me that like to print huge items this is the one to go with. Thanks for the initial advice, you did not steer me wrong on this one. Keep up the great work and I hope you find someone to continue giving great advice and reviews

I bought a used Longer LK5 Pro for $250 that had only been used to print one model. For the most part I'm pretty happy with it however one serious bit of advice for anyone considering buying one themselves, make sure you get the upgraded one with the dual fan equipped hotend (2 parts cooling fans and one hotend cooling fan), the standard 'base' only has one parts cooling fan and a fairly small hotend cooling fan. This results in some errors in many prints opposite the side the parts cooling fan is on, almost like the plastic is being blowen away from the fan as it hardens. Also might want to invest in the dual Z axis kit that Longer offers.

Quite honestly... Even with it's dated tech... Prusa is still the best out of the box printer. I print.. pla... Petg... Tpu... Abs.... Carbon fiber filaments... It will do it all.

Build volume isn't large, but it isn't small. Prusa still is the go to printer that flat works and doesn't limit you on filament choices

Been printing since 2014 and that thing that pisses me off is, they always break after around 30 prints, conveniently after the 30 days has passed to return

[MrButuz]

You know what the fact that you've never thought to yourself this printers so darn good ima buy a second one or a third one says it all to me. You use what your given to review all 25 of them and this is the best free one so far?

The first printer I bought back in 2020 was a longer LK4, which too, was a great deal for its size and print volume. I had great experiences with it and have since replaced it with the LK1 which has the same print volume as the LK5. Planning on keeping this brand on my equipment list for some time to come. And if LONGER is watching, looking forward to an SLA offering larger than the Orange 10 and 30. Thanks for the video 👍👍

Hi! Nice review of the printer. I have one Longer LK5 Pro, and I must say it has some limitations. I know it's also a 300 dollars/euros machine, so accepted them as being part of a budget machine. Issues: Extruder is single gear and not all metal one. Single lead screw. Poor cooling out of the box, but Longer sell a replacement (maybe its included in the printer these days). Noisy, the fans are loud and they don't turn off when printer is idle. Firmware, is old and slow do be released. No automated bed leveling tool, that for a big bed like this one is essential. Hotend limited to 250c. Almost zero support (at least this was my experience). I made a lot of modifications and fixed the issues above, and its ok, I use it for big projects due to the big print bed a Z height. But for a first printer I wouldn't recommend it, since you must have already some skill to identify issues and then fix them.

I have the LK1 - that thing is a beast. It never fails, it just prints. Every. Single. Time. I've been super thrilled with it, I've had it about a year. Good video.

I'm new to the whole 3d printing thing, but it is possible to make a coloured action figure by 3d printing? It's one of the things I wanted to do if I can ever get a chance to buy one and I don't know if it's possible.






is it possible for you to do a video about making (or how to make, or which 3d printer is the best fit to make) a properly coloured action figure?

[Longerofficial]

Thanks to The 3D Printing Zone for recommending LK5 PRO spontaneously. Sent this LK5 PRO a year and a half ago. It's great to see you still like it!

[AndrewAHayes]

I would love to see a comparison between this machine and the Sovol SV01 Pro which is of a similar price with the Sovol being $41 less expensive.

Hi buddy, this is the one of best informative videos I can find about this printer…. As I am planning to buy this printer want to know some more details about this printer….1. Power cut off resume 2. About the software 3. Filament run out and changing will cause any problems in current model 4. What type of materials I can print … for eg can I print abs or wood filament… or tpu anything like that …. And last one 5. What is maximum capacity of this printer like till what extent it can go and what cannot be done in this.

I have seen the first video about this printer in your channel… I thinks this are not completely covered

Please let me know about this even if do the video that will be better

[Mark_R]

As a newbie that wants to start in 3D printing, would this be a good choice? What software can I use to make the models? Thank you!!

[CIA_Alien]

*This is a good printer, but I decided to spend a little bit more money and get a 3D printer with auto leveling and run out detection.
The Artillery Sidewinder is made in the USA and prints a lot faster.*

[Dave]

Thanks for the unbiased, honest review.

After printing with this style glass bed(had 3 printers with it) I can safely say a double sided PEI with textured on one side and smooth PEI on other is far superior to this glass setup. Easy to pop off after a print but never have edges of a print even consider lifting no matter if it's PLA, PETG or ABS. For PA CF I suggest glass with glue stick. I use the smooth back side of the carborundom glass as it's easy to clean glue off between PA CF prints.

Hi there. What do you think about Delta printers?🤔

[chrisperrywv]

Thanks Nils! Glad to know that even still this is your recommendation. I do wish it had dual lead screws.
