    Although this looks like the cocoon mini, the one aldi sold had some very nice quality of life upgrades, including a magnetic spring based bed that was good value. When they were wanting to get rid of those they were $199 (albeit instore only), so I'm leaning towards this being less of a bargain. Is it still a good 3D Printer? I guess.

      Specifications are the same and they currently have refurbished models up for $10 more + shipping than our new models.

      All upgrades are backwards compatible. :)

      • superroach on 19/10/2019 - 01:20

        The printable dimensions are different and they mention magnetic bed. Do you match that?

        And of course an upgrade is backwards compatible, otherwise it would not be an upgrade.

    Does anyone have the guts to report this as a duplicate or…?

      "Report Content Your report has been submitted, thank you."

      Maybe the mods are in a good mood.. maybe not.

      If I'm not here tomorrow you'll know either way.

        I believe it was an attempt at a joke about the name.. Duplicator

    As an owner of this, it's quite a decent little printer.

    People will compare the price point to an Ender 3 which gives you a fair bit more for similar cost, but the Ender will require some assembly and perhaps a little tinkering if it doesn't produce the best results straight away.

    A couple things to note:
    - It doesn't have a heated bed, which would help the print stay put during printing but a little gluestick works pretty well.
    - The total visual print surface isn't printable (due to the mechanical design) but 12x13.5x10cm is fairly workable, particularly if you're trying out 3D printing.
    - Probably couldn't print most flexibles without a little modification, but does print 3DFillies' PLAflex well

    If you get one and are new to 3D printing, I would look up and join a few Wanhao / i3 mini / Cocoon Create facebook groups where you'll get a fair bit of support and advice.

    (Interestingly, Prusa just launched their Prusa Mini which has a very similar design)

    I have a cocoon create - it works ok but anything bigger than 2-3 cm high has issues with the non heated bed…tried pet/amphibian heater mats but not getting warm enough to stop the natural curvature and eventual failure (base curves on cooling and becomes unstuck even with uhu or similar glue!) faster prints help…. I have up after creating a few simple guitar control knobs but more due to time to play than anything…better heat mats would improve things I'm sure but haven't found anything cheap enough yet…I got the printer for $100 or so on Aldi sale!

    • Associated3D Printers Online @ 3D Printers Online on 19/10/2019 - 08:07

      Try a little bit of glue stick, We have and i3 in the office we still use for small jobs. We find gluestick stops this issue. :)

        I started off by trying a glue stick which works for very small items but anything more than 1-2 cm high and the base cools and shrinks/bends, hence trying heated pads… I've still not found a cheap option for good heat pads though…

        • Associated3D Printers Online @ 3D Printers Online on 19/10/2019 - 10:47

          Have you tried another brand of filament?

          We havnt had the issue to that extent. We also find using a brim when printing helps with an unheated bed.

    I wouldn’t deal with 3Dprinteronline again. We had a faulty Artillery X1 (confirmed by the manufacturer support) and 3Dprinteronline promised us a replacement when we sent it back. Instead the refused to replace once they had it as the value of them had gone way up. Eventually they refunded but we were without a printer and left needing to pay much more if we wanted to buy another. The whole process took nearly 3 months and was a painful as dealing with Gearbest.

      Sorry about your bad experience.

      I was not involved in your issue, and do not know the finer details. Although what I do know I was bought on board as a result of your issue to avoid it happening again.

      Over the last 3 months I have since revamped support & Supply chains with suppliers to avoid delays to customers delays by implementing proper documented support, repairs, replacement and returns procedures.

      Once again I apologise for what you experienced, we pride ourselves in customer service and what happened to you triggered big internal changes to avoid disappointing customers.

    Always wanted to have a go at 3D printing, but never bought in as I assume I'd give it up pretty quickly, but this seems like a cheap and easy entry point.
    How many prints would you get out of the included filament, and can you purchase any replacement filament?

    • Associated3D Printers Online @ 3D Printers Online on 19/10/2019 - 10:52

      It is a good printer to start with and is designed for ease of use. Its a good way to get your head around what is involved before making a big investment on a larger machine. We still use ours for small prints on the side.

      It comes witha sample roll, depends on what you are printing but probably only do a couple of small prints.

      The printer is compatible with all PLA 1.75mm Filament and is readily available via our store or other sources.
