Haosegd K1 Mini 3D Printer - Perfect for Home 3D Printing Projects

WilliamIsADongerWilliamIsADonger: I was at first skeptical when seeing a 3D printer for $79. However I decided to pull the trigger and I'm pretty glad I did. It took me about a day or two to get it to function properly, because there are not many good resources online for this specific printer. The package came with everything it was supposed to in good quality. Instructions were there, however for beginners they were hard to understand. Once I got 3D printer set up I struggled with the filament included in the box. After ordering new filament I was able to successfully print my first model. And after replacing the filament spool brace with an after market spool holder I've got the printer working reliably. The print quality is reasonable especially for the price. If you are looking to print higher quality models with more details I would suggest going with it more expensive printer. However, for a college student who wanted the 3D print dungeons and dragon miniatures it works decently. The price can't be beat, but the quality can.

Brian S.: Bought to print tpu as I figured small squishy things were all I needed in tpu. Mainly for things my son would like. Have tried all the suggestions online I could fine and a few spools of tpu. Seems to be underextrusion mainly.

Mine seems to be quite creaky plastic on the guide rods is all I can guess. Works for pla, not perfect but pretty decent for a semi annoying sounding cheap printer. Plan to use it until something breaks that won't be worth buying to replace.

Update 12/21/21.

Extruder motor wore out mid print. Extruder/nozzle combo is almost 1/4 the cost of printer and still debating on purchasing it. Still liked it and was getting pretty good prints but proprietary parts only found on AliExpress kinda sucks.

Bernard S. Giloni: So far I've owned three of these. All three broke. If nozzle clogs there is no way to replace it without replacing the entire feed mechanism including the motor. Each one I've owned, first couple of prints were decent, that's all you can expect.

There is no menu, only buttons you need to learn to operate the printer . The SIM holds one G Code file. The filament feeder goes right to the garbage. The build plate is so small not much can be printed on it.

This is not a beginners printer, it's frustration and disheartening for anyone who wants to learn 3d printing. Spend a little more money on a good 3d printers (Ender 3), most have come way down in price.

Why did I but three - the definition of lunacy is doing the same thing over and over and expecting a different result.

Pburger: This printer is both small and inexpensive, but it works and it works well. It has a very small print volume and that limits the size of the resulting prints.
This is my first 3D printer and there has been a rather steep learning curve. However, it is fascinating watching an item you designed appear.
There is no touch screen, in fact there is no screen at all. Just four buttons. Once you get used to the interface the printer is quite easy to operate.
Great fun and a great price.

Joshua W.: Pros:
Print quality with this is very good, the bed is very easy to level and the profile needs almost no tweaking. The direct extrusion is beautiful and the heating time is about a minute. Though the manufacturer advises the use of 250g spools, it handles 1kg spools nicely, though I would reinforce the top crossbar to be sure.

Cons:
The included software is pretty bad, but is made to be used by children and obviously the printer is small.
