FLSun Super Racer
About the FLSun Super Racer
The FLSUN Super Racer 3D printer is a Delta printer, built for print speeds of 100-200 mm/s (which is 2-4 times faster than most Cartesian 3D printers). It has a Titan dual-geared extruder and V6 volcano hot end, large print volume of 260 x 330mm, removable touch screen, tool drawer, and stable metal frame. It is easy to assemble, even for the novice, and includes automatic bed leveling, filament sensor, belt tensioner, and resume print functionality. Cura slicing software comes with the system, however, a recommendation would be to update to the latest version prior to printing. There are some minor drawbacks to the FLSUN Super Racer, such as no PEI print bed and adhesion can be weak, the Micro-SD card slot is located on the side, and the printer is not well suited for flexible filaments, as the Bowden tube between the extruder and nozzle is very long. Overall, the FLSUN Super Racer is designed to balance performance and user convenience for a satisfying 3D printing experience.
Benefits of the FLSun Super Racer
Auto bed leveling - auto bed leveling will ensure your prints have perfect first layers every time and greatly reduce issues with bed adhesion. When using an auto-leveling system, the probe allows better tolerances for slightly warped print beds by measuring and compensating for any inconsistencies. Without this feature, you'll need to adjust the bed level manually using nuts on each corner of the print bed.
Has touch screen - having a touch screen isn't a deal-maker or breaker, but it is a convenient feature that makes it easier to navigate the interface when you are printing files and configuring 3D printing settings.
Easy to assemble - This 3D printer is shipped with most of the parts pre-assembled, and you will only need to attach a few components and connect a couple cables in order to get the machine ready to print.
Carborundum glass bed provides good adhesion and easy removal - Carborundum glass is a great build surface that provides good adhesion while heated, but parts can be removed easily once it cools. The surface finish is not quite as smooth as borosilicate glass, but the superior adhesion without any hairspray more than compensates. With a carborundum bed, you wont need to use any additional adhesives like hairspray, but it is important that you clean the bed with a damp cloth after every 5-10 prints to maintain the adhesion.
Generous Build volume - A larger than average build volume means that you will be able to print larger parts without the need to split them into pieces and attach them together, which is especially useful with functional parts. If you have the room for the larger footprint, we definitely recommend going with a larger 3D printer, since you can always print small parts on a larger printer.
Dual gear extruder - A dual gear extruder grips filament from both sides and can exert much more force on the filament before slipping. It helps with all filaments but especially with flexible, slippery TPU.
Where to buy the FLSun Super Racer
Brand Summary: FLSun
FLsun is recognized in the 3D printing market for creating affordable printers that are accessible to a wide audience, from beginners to more advanced users. A distinctive aspect of FLsun's lineup is their focus on Delta printers, which are known for their speed and efficiency. Delta printers, characterized by their unique triangular structure, allow for faster print speeds compared to traditional Cartesian printers. This design can enhance print quality for certain types of projects but may also present a steeper learning curve due to their distinct calibration and maintenance requirements. Despite the advantages of speed and user-friendly assembly that FLsun printers offer, users might face challenges with noise during operation and navigating customer support or finding replacement parts. These issues point to areas where FLsun could improve to enhance user satisfaction. Overall, FLsun's commitment to Delta printers showcases their innovative approach in the 3D printing industry, making advanced printing technologies more accessible. However, the balance between affordability, performance, and after-sales support remains a crucial factor for potential users to consider.
