Product Description

The Dremel DigiLab 3D20 Idea Builder 3D Printer is Dremel's most reliable low-cost 3D printer for hobbyists, tinkerers and other users new to 3D printing. The simple design of the printer along with Dremel support team will help you succeed at 3D printing, even without prior experience. The printer comes fully assembled and includes a 0.5 kg spool of Dremel filament. The easy to follow quick-start guide and detailed instructions will help you begin printing right out of the box. Immediately, you will notice the attention to safety with the rigid, fully-enclosed design and 3rd party UL approval. The printer is designed to print with PLA filament onto a non-heated build plate that uses black build tape to help your prints adhere to the build plate. You can begin your printing with the high-quality models pre-loaded on the printer, which can be accessed through the 4” full-color touch screen. You can load your own files from sites such as Thingiverse, with the included Dremel 3D slicer software. An upcoming update will allow the 3D20 to use .gcode files so you can use Dremel Digilab 3D Slicer, Cura, Craftware, KISSlicer, Simplify3D, Slic3r, Repetier, and other programs to load your print files. Once you start slicing your own files you can take full advantage of the 9” x 5.9” x 5.5” build plate and 100 micron high resolution. The simple design of the extruder allows for easy maintenance with continued use of the printer. With 85 years of reliable quality, Dremel is an established brand that you can trust to support you throughout your journey. By purchasing a Dremel 3D printer, you will have access to Dremel video tutorials as well as unrivaled Dreme. This is Dremel's most affordable 3D printer and is perfect for new users or for students.

    Excellent printer for the price!
    For those who don't want to read my whole review, I'll cut to the chase. The Dremel 3D20 printer is an excellent choice for those who are just getting into 3D printing, and I would highly recommend it.Okay now for those who want to read a little more: I've had the printer for about a week, and I love it. I'm new to 3D printing, but I've had my eye on it for a long time. I wanted to jump in and try 3D printing over the past few years, but a lot of what I read made it sound like there was way too much constant tinkering to get the printers to work consistently. But thanks to Amazon Prime Day, the Dremel 3D20 printer popped up in one of the adverts and I took a look at it.The Dremel 3D20 turned out to be exactly what I wanted, which was a 3D printer that was just about ready straight out of the box, and was in an enclosed case, instead of one of those open case designs. (Which just made me think about all of the cat hair that would end up on the builds!) Other reviewers have stated that it takes about 30 minutes to set up and be starting your first print, which is absolutely right. Once the printer is unpacked, there's only a few additional steps to complete before I was able to start my first test of the T-Rex model in the photos I've attached. The Dremel 3D20 comes with a set of sample models already preinstalled, and I'd recommend you choosing the T-Rex as your first test, since it comes out looking awesome! I could go on and on about my experiences with the printer so far, but I'll keep it down to some Pro and cons, as well as a few hints from stuff I have run across:Pros:- Fully enclosed unit- Almost ready to go out of the box- LCD panel on the front, makes it easy to manage the printer and select model builds- Great looking blue light! :-)- Is relatively quiet, so not much more noise than a standard printer when running- The Dremel slicer software is easy to use- The build plate is very easy to level- The level of detail that it can be printed is excellent, and better than I expected for an entry level printer- It's great value for the costCons:- The printer only supports one type of filament (PLA), so no playing with the more exotic materials- It can take many hours to do even a small print, but this is true for pretty much any 3D printing- You have to load your models using an SD card- The build material from Dremel is expensive compared to other companies that sell 3D materialAdditional notes:- The builds can be very hard to remove from the build plate. The instructions for leveling the build plate don't emphasize enough that the distance between the nozzle and the plate has to be precise, or either the build will come loose during the printing, or will stick so hard you worry about breaking the final piece. So you want there to be only a little resistance when doing the calibration with the included leveling paper.- There have been some complaints about getting bubbles under the build tape you attach to the leveling table when putting it on. I didn't have any problems, and as long as you start at one side and use the removal tool to lightly push on the sheet as you slowly install it then it shouldn't be an issue. And for anyone who has tried to put one of those protective sheets over a phone screen and not get bubbles, this is a breeze.- Make sure to buy an extra pack of Dremel build tape, since they one last so long and it is possible to tear them if a build ends up being too stuck. (the 3D20 printer comes with 2 build sheets)- You should put together a small kit of tools for cleaning up you model after it is built. This is especially true for models that have temporary supports added during the build because of the model design. (example: Wings on a dragon would requires supports while it is being built to keep them from sagging). The basic things you need are a set of needle-nose pliers, tweezers, sandpaper, nail file, and very small clippers.So to finish this off, there are so many things you can build without having to even know how to do 3D design. You can download designs from many places on the web, and one of the most popular is Thingiverse. So go over there and check it out, I think you'll be blown away with all the possibilities.I hope this review helps, and enjoy all the cool things in your future!Edited 2/1/21 The Dremel 3D20 is still running great, but I wanted to add one note on the "two free filament rolls if you write an Amazon review" info card that is with the installation instructions. I wrote a review and sent the link to their support site as instructed back in October, and even after receiving a thank you reply from them it has been 3+ months and still haven't received anything. So I'm not going to lower my star rating because the 3D20 printer is great, but don't hold your breath on getting the "free" filament rolls.

    Estaba preocupada porque la impresora fuera a ser realmente de buena calidad, debido al precio pues es casi el doble de otras que pudieran competir, sin embargo estoy encantada con el producto, decidí comprar esta impresora porque es mi primera impresora en 3D así que quería algo fácil de usar, y así fue! Prácticamente la sacas de la caja, lees el manual y estás listo para comenzar a imprimir, ya he impreso varias herramientas para mi empresa de jabones y cosas para la oficina, realmente tiene muy buena calidad de impresión, además viene con un software bastante fácil de utilizar para configurar las impresiones, realmente un excelente producto, estoy feliz de haber elegido y comprado.
