It is a very reliable printer, this is my 2nd Flashforge. The print quality is fine and dependant on how you set it up, type and quality of filament used. Not much need for tech support but they do get back to you in a reasonable amount of time, usually a 24hr turnaround time. If printing is your game and you're a beginner this is pretty much a plug & play printer. However, it has the advanced options in the software to tweak the settings and get even better prints.

After I received the first one I was addicted. Extremely easy set up and prints are fantastic. So I bought 2 more

I have had this product for 2 going on 3 years and I absolutely love it. When I first got it, I had issues with the filament adhering to the bed. To fix this, go into your settings and arrow down till you see extruder calibration. Then, I put a piece of paper down underneath it until it touches it and has resistance. Then, level the bed and everything works like a champ. My advice is to not assume that it is not the 3D printers fault. 9/10 it is human error. 3D printing is an amazing journey and I highly recommend it.

This printer is amazing, I've had it for a little under a year now and its still going strong. The prints come out great and rarely ever have any failed prints unless it's something that I did wrong and is super easy to figure out and fix. The Bed Leveling system is very convenient and If you have a power outage, the machine will still remember where it left off and start working from there. I would highly recommend this printer to anyone. One little con is that it jams a bit at times and while its easy to unjam and do the disassembly of the top half of the extruder it can get a little inconvenient to do all that in the middle of a print job.

I inherited my Guider II and have been very pleased with it so far. Print quality has been excellent for a printer with some 5000 hours (although print time builds rapidly I am finding). The FlashForge software has been easy to use and intuitive. I am using KinderCAD as I find it to be most intuitive so far. Most of the other CAD programs have very steep learning curves or are Windows-only.

Easy to use and setup. High quality prints. Flash print slicing software is also easy to use.

I bought this to replace my flash forge adventure 3 printer and it doesn't disappoint. The print quality is awesome.

I've been printing with the Flashforge Dreamer NX for 2.5 years now. I print 10-15 hours/day 6-7 days/week. The Dreamer NX has been lasting about 1 year (3000-4000 hours) before something goes wrong (usually the hot end wiring fails. Instead of buying another Dreamer NX I decided to upgrade to Guider 2. I'm glad I did. I've been printing with it every day for 2 weeks and it prints like a dream. It has the same print head as the Dreamer NX, so I'm familiar with how it works and I've been easily able to migrate my print projects to the Guider 2. The massively upgraded Z axis on the Guider 2 means I only check my level once in the morning and it prints great all day. With the Dreamer NX I was re-leveling the bed before every print to keep the quality up. I highly recommend this printer for the person who's making things to sell.

I have 3 different 3D printers this unit works great I've not had a single issue with it. The only things I think they could've done better was the camera. Even though the camera does work it has horrible video quality and it's hard to access the use of the camera. You have to go through the cloud to see the camera and it only takes a single shot every 10 seconds. Also the touch screen is off center so if your trying to puch a certain button on the screen you have to touch about half an inch to the left of the indicated button.

I have been using this printer for 2 months and have printed many large/wide items for prototyping/production use. It's easy to use and the prints are great. It's definitely much better than I expected before I bought it. I have it connected over the built-in wi-fi and this was easy too. It's a somewhat quiet printer and I added some sound proofing foam/felt material inside to make it even quieter. Like the other people, the first thing I did was to design/print my own universal filament/spool holder haha (because the original spool holder appears to a snap-in to their filament/brand only). From time to time, I have emailed their tech support asking various questions and always received good answers super fast in a few hours or under a day, and even while their team members were on weekends and during their public holidays too!
