The Flashforge Creator Pro 2, is my first 3D printer. Purchase to allow my kids to experience design and 3D printing. The printer produces very good and clean prints, a larger printer bed would be my only suggestion to improve and make it a fantastic machine. I would also like to state that Flashforge provides great support and help, after I had a issue with one of the print heads, which clogged every time I change the filament, I reported the problem to Flashforge, I was sent a replacement, without hassle. I highly recommend the printer and Flashforge.

I am ecstatic that I got this printer 2-3 months ago. I have dozens and dozens of successful prints using a range of filaments. There is a steep learning curve when going beyond the basics, so watch videos and read up before opening up and using, especially setup and calibration to gain confidence. Buy blue painter’s tape!!! I was needing to chisel off the prints from the print plate, sometimes violently because to adhered too well. Other advice is to print spool adaptors as needed and learn how to run maintenance on your printer. Can be a little loud and needs a solid surface. I have not used tech support, so cannot review that aspect. Overall, I am super happy with this opening up the world of 3D printing for me and my boys.

Most support filament is expensive; can I say EXPENSIVE. There has been talk of using PLA as support, break away support for PETG. Amazing; just need to find away to upgrade to all metal hotend to get to higher temps. This is now go to printer for crazy prints needing supports. thanks flashforge.

This is the perfect 3-D printer. Started out with the Makerbot Replicator Dual Head which lasted for a while but the board burned out. This is a work horse of a machine at a great price. I like the metal enclosed frame with dual heads which helps maintain the temperature level. Easy to use software. Customer service is great too they stand behind the product. Make sure the rails are lubricated for a smooth operating production run.

This is an awesome but somewhat limited by firmware to 240/120c temperature printer. I doesn’t handle engineering grade materials- pc, pa and heat hungry filaments. I still love it nonetheless as it handles properly dried ABS, TPE/TPU, ASA and the various flavors of PET (-T, -G and straight PET) and obviously PLA except glow in the dark with stock nozzle. Aftermarket nozzles are rare but Microswiss has them in 0.4, 0.6 and 0.8mm diameter orifice size. I use 0.6mm on the left and 0.4mm on the right extruders. You are mostly limited to using Flashforge Flashprint software as of today I cannot find a profile for using idex in cura or simplify3D. I have a background in plastics, but even a novice can make functional parts with a slightly moderate learning curve. My rating is 10/10. This is truly a great printer for any level of skill and experience.

Has done everything I have asked if it. I now mostly print models using it with pva. Works great. Print then dunk in warm water and post processing complete.

Easy to work with even the prints come out really, nice. Really thinking of getting a nother. The problem I have is the print Really sticks. I found that if it is still a little warm it's easy to get the print off the bed with a little effort.

I am new to 3D printing. I had a not so great experience with a printer before this (from a very high rated 3D printer company) so it was a little disappointed and it was really nice to get one that was printing perfectly after a very basic setup. Plus it can do two at once and in dual colors. I highly recommend this product. Update: I am still printing every day and these printers have worked flawlessly.

Bought this because I wanted to try to print dual colors. It works great. Takes a bit to get use to the program.

Great prints, exceeded my expectations for common filaments. I print a lot of lettering and it really does well with the Flashprint slicer. Good enough for me atleast. Drawbacks for me are no wifi ability and sometimes small card errors or cable errors but they're never long term. Great for beginners that want to print with dual extruders. If you're new to it there is a learning curve for producing the printd you want. The case is nice, but the platform isn't removable. Instructions to assemble are pretty good.
