Dremel 3D20 Idea Builder

This printer is great for all around use. I have created bowls, pots, utensils, toys, checker pieces, razor holders, door lock locks, and so much more. I love it.

Just recently bought this machine and found it very simple to set up and use.  The software is an issue, we attempted to load from the web site and received a malicious code warning so did not download.  The conversion software to go from STL to Dremel and set up for your own printer works like a champ.  

I am fairly new to 3d printing and got a great deal on this 3D20 printer that i could not pass up.  Been really pleased from my 1st test print, a simple dice to now some great prints that includes some parts for the household and some fan art.  Easy to use and so far, no issues.  Great printer to learn and grow my knowledge with.

I don't like it! It's so hard to adjust it right so that the liquid filament keeps on the underground and not get stuck around the extruder. The quality of the produced objects is really poor, very poor detailed and no smooth surface. Also it fails to print filigran parts. Not comparable to what other printers are capable of.

Can not use with Mac. Printer is not seen keeps saying save file .very frustrating 

I am just getting into 3d printing. this machine is awesome so far. Simple, Quite and prints  semi smooth projects. 

My wife got me this for Christmas 2020 so I'm still learning. This may not have been the model I would have picked if I was buying one for myself but I'm grateful for it and I do like it. Out of the box it has some preloaded files that allow you to start printing right away. It also comes with a sd card and is the only option to load print files. It does not have network or computer connectivity options. The quality is good and we were impressed. Once I expanded outside the preloaded files, I spent a frustrating 4-5 hours (likely more) trying to get the 3D slicer software to work properly. I did not try simplify3D as I didn't want to spend $150 on it. Since it was over the weekend I couldn't call for support but I ended up downloading Cura with an add-on that I found buried in a user forum. Once Monday came around, I called customer support and they were very helpful which was needed because the software documentation and information was not consistent. After all that, I still use the software I found online and find it more flexible than the Dremel  3D slicer. There is conflicting info on the Dremel site and got the real answer when calling. The 3D20 can print using g-code but I have found the .g3drem to be less problematic.

When doing larger prints, the non-heated print bed can cause adhesion issues. There are work ways to work around it but it takes fiddling and/or research. It is an outdated system at this point but it does have nice features and is a good looking unit. The touch screen interface works well, the enclosure is well built and will cut down on dust collection. Overall, I'm satisfied with the product, but would like a unit that can print multiple materials. 

Great printer that has a very precise printing quality

Got this second hand with 800 hours on the counter. Previous owner really did a thing on it, drilling in the cover and  transporting it on the back of a camel. Cleaned the printer up and ordered some cheap spare parts from Dremel: new cover, some screws, new X-end stop. Replaced it effortless. Now its my favorite tool in the workshop: from Cura (with Dremel plugin), to machine takes seconds and each print comes out great. Highly recommended printer.

The price is right. The thing performs well. Don't buy it thinking you will get the best 3d printer out there.  Buy it to have fun with and see if you like 3d printing. For what I do it's a blast and easy to use.
