On the plus side of the design, the 3D printer stands on four feet and you can easily access the leveling screws. Large Print Volume The Longer LK5 Pro* is suitable for beginners who want to print larger objects of good quality for little money. This budget 3D printer delivers not only a large print volume but also a very intuitive operation via a modern touch screen and a simple manual print bed leveling. Pros & Cons With Teflon or PTFE, you achieve higher temperatures and overall better printing results. The probability of the filament getting tangled or the nozzle clogging is also lower.

There is a selection of filaments that have been used from T-PLA White (unbranded), Geeetech White Pla, Rainbow Silk Pla+ (unbranded) and Geeetech Transparent PLA. After the calibration prints, I went through and sorted my slicer profile settings. And I’m very pleased with the results I’m getting with the profile. Calibration Raft: NO Longer3D created the LK5 PRO budget 3D printer with diagonal pull bars, creating a solid triangle arrangement that effectively eliminates errors caused by vibrations. Upgraded Lattice Glass The only real hurdle was attaching the gantry to the base, which was a little difficult to do solo, as it involved holding the gantry up while screwing it to the base. While you can put it together on your own, having a friend or partner help with this will make this step a lot easier. From there, it was simply a matter of installing the filament holder and support rods for mid-print stability, and then setting up the touch screen, both of which were easy and intuitive.If you want, you can also install an optional BLTouch. Then you can automatically level the print bed. The sensor is installed on the side of the printhead housing. Touchscreen with Intuitive Menu Navigation In 2017, they launched their line of DLP-SLA, metal and ceramic 3D printers, bringing cutting-edge technology to the market. A year later, the brand launched a line of desktop-grade LCD-SLA 3D printers, cementing its commitment to delivering an exceptional printing experience. In 2022, they expanded their range further with the launch of the RAY5 desktop laser engraver, enabling users to add stunning personal touches to their creations. The leveling of the print bed happens manually on the LK5 Pro. There is a submenu for leveling the print bed in the menu of the 3D printer, but it is only a support. In this menu, you can move to 5 points on the print bed. At these 5 points, you have to level the print bed manually.

The bed leveling is not automatic, meaning you will have to do it manually. While not a deal-breaker, this can be a pain, especially if you’re used to printers with automatic leveling. With any 3D printer, you are bound to have issues at some stage and of course to any 3D printer problem there is a solution. There were only two that I found on the LK5 PRO. LK5 Pro Layer Cooling Fan Duct Problem Also, the setting stayed the same across all my test prints and I didn’t have to level the print bed again. During my tests, I did not notice any particularly large vibrations, even at high printing speeds, and the construction makes a very stable impression. Upgraded Dual Blower Kit: LONGER LK5 Pro Upgraded 3D Printer uses the newly upgraded cooling fans, dual blower kit which can promote rapid cooling of the extruded filament, powerful cooling nozzles can make the model surface better and smoother.

The LK5 Pro is designed with a triangle frame to reinforce the printer and keep it steady while printing. This strong, stable build prevents any vibrations or other factors affecting print quality, and helped with the print quality we achieved. Fast Assembly The glass bed of the Longer LK5 Pro has a texture that increases adhesion. In none of my test prints did I have any problems with print bed adhesion and I was never forced to use aids such as Blue Tape.
