The Flashforge Creator is a reasonably priced Chinese 3D printer which bears close resemblance to the Makerbot Replicator 2. It features a dual extruder and supports dual color/material printing. Both ABS and PLA can be printed at a resolution of 100 microns with a maximum size of 22.5 x 14.5 x 15 cm.
The printer is well built and never really experience issues with the performance. Quick and easy to learn, hard to master. Done close to 500hrs printing and still performing well
All printers are fussy. Leveling the bed is number one concern. Nozzles and filament will clog and require clearing. All parts are replaceable that is a plus. Poor descriptions and carat ability of parts is lacking. Some sites have no shipping options. I have tried printing just about everything from nylon to ninja flex to Protopasta metal filament with mostly success.
An amazing machine that has delivered beyond all expectations. The local reseller offers fantastic post-sales services. Buy now with best price on Amazon.com
