I never put a 3D printer together before. It was easy and educational. I have some experience with some old 3D Systems machines. The Flsun slicer software seems to work well. The T1 screams! It is fast. I have never seen a printer print this fast. I have tried some color prints, PLA, PET-G. It all seems to work very well. I have had to tweek some of the filament profiles for my material to work well. Maybe Flsun will include more filament profiles from other manufactures. So far I am having fun with the machine. I did not find the sound coming from the machine to be bad at all. It seems fine to me. Enjoy.
