Mingda Magician X review | The perfect beginner 3D printer?

34 Просмотры
Издатель
The Mingda Magician X is a 3D printer specifically targeted at new users. There’s very little assembly and it has automatic bed levelling, a direct drive extruder and a colour touch screen.

In this thorough review, I’ll put it through its paces printing a range of models in a variety of filaments including PETG - not just PLA - to try and help you decide if this printer is right for you.

If you’re new to 3D printing I’d highly recommend watching at least some of my earlier video that introduces 3D printing with the budget Creality Ender 3: https://youtu.be/u-3pEBK0w8A

If you want to skip forward or back at any time in this video, please use the chapter markers YouTube creates from the timestamps down below and in the pinned comment.
