Review
It is very classroom-friendly as teachers aren’t likely to ever have to take anything apart with this machine. The extruder also does a great job of cooling the print and we saw very impressive results on overhangs and bridging. Really anyone who wants a simple and reliable PLA-only 3D printer will be happy with what they get for their money. But truth be told… we’d like a way to use a broader pallet of available materials without breaking Dremel’s rules.
Another 3D printer with similar qualities (good user experience and PLA 3D printing) is the European bq Witbox 2 ($1,900) is a solid option, but more expensive and without a touchscreen. For more material capabilities, but with proprietary 3D filaments, the Zortrax M200 ($1,990) might also be interesting. For users looking for a reliable workhorse capable to handle any type of 3D filaments and equipped with a dual extruder, the FlashForge Creator Pro at only $999 is definitively a good option.
Pros
- Well-designed extruder
- Great user experience with the touch screen software that makes all operations clear
- Good quality prints and no leveling issues
- Overall design: the Dremel 3D40 looks nice, isn’t too noisy and prints at reasonable speeds
Cons
- Small build volume given its quite big footprint
- Proprietary 3D filaments
- PLA only
