ANYCUBIC Mega S 3D Printer Review

by

The Anycubic Mega S is a 3D Printer that can be used for both beginners and experts. If you have never printed before, you can use the supplied software to make a model or use one of the models in the included library of models to print with. You can also bring in your own model from another 3D printer by connecting it to your computer using a USB cable. If you are an experienced user, then there are plenty of features for you too, such as printing at much higher resolutions without losing detail and adding color during or after printing!

Features Of The ANYCUBIC Mega S 3D Printer

There are many features that make this 3D printer different from others in its price range: An LCD screen for control with lots of options. A real “pause” button to hold your printing (many 3D printers have a “pause” feature but it still keeps printing while paused, only stopping once you unpause it). This is a big time saver if you want to remove your model to examine it or change the filament. A handy quick-release filament holder so you can change the filament quickly without having to fuss with screws, replacing clips, etc.

Printer Construction Quality

The printer all metal construction with a metal frame. You will be hard pressed to find a more solidly built 3D printer for the price. It is very solidly built and looks great!

Control Panel And Software

The control panel has a large LCD screen with lots of options. The software is a little more advanced than most, which is necessary to make it work. It is fairly straightforward to use though, and there are quite a lot of options available for you to tweak. USB and Ethernet (WIFI) connections so you can print from your computer or phone/tablet/etc.

Printing Speed

This printer can print at a relatively high speed. It is capable of printing at speeds up to 100 mm/s with a layer thickness of 300 microns. The maximum print size is 210 x 210 x 200mm.

Pros

  • Very nice looking and well built; looks like it will last a long time.
  • A USB port to add RAM memory to the printer if you need it.
  • It includes a Micro SD card slot to load your own models, and a power socket if you want to power the printer with by plugging into a mains socket.

Cons

  • It is a bit noisy when printing.
  • It is a bit slow to heat up.
  • It is quite large (on the larger side of desktop printers) so make sure you have enough space for it.

Conclusion

The ANYCUBIC Mega is a great printer for the price. It has a very good build quality, good performance, and a lot of nice features. It will last for years and you’ll probably never have to buy another 3D printer again! I would recommend this printer to anyone that wants an solid all-metal 3D printer at an affordable price.
