LGK Longer LK5 Pro 3D Printer with Enhanced Printing Capabilities

Brian W.: This printer offers a bigger print size than most units of it’s class. It is very very repeatable and the bed heats well and is consistent. I did have to fix the Z axis stepper—connector was intermittent and needed glue to keep pins in place. Other than that, been very solid.

JSimpJSimp: I have had my Longer LK5 Pro for over two months, and I have over a kilogram of filament and about 200 hours of print time on it. I love it. This is my first 3D printer, but I am impressed with the LK5 Pro’s print quality, the large full color touchscreen, and how easy it was to set up. I consistently make parts with tolerances down to 1/10th of the millimeter. The machine is large! I could not find any dimensions of the unit, outside of the build volume, when I bought mine. It’s outside dimensions are approximately 24” deep x 20” wide x 26.25” high without a spool of filament, so plan accordingly.

In sort, I would recommend the LK5 Pro to anyone as a first printer, for someone looking for a larger build volume, or as a general workhorse production printer.

The long story: This is not going to replace any six-figure commercial printers, and I know the Longer is an Ender clone. The quality of the machine and its prints are very good. The 300mm X 300mm X 400 mm build volume is worth the extra money. I watched dozens and dozens of review videos, and I had none of the small fit and finish issues the reviewers reported. (They must have had...

ktsharples: This was my second 3D printer “project”. I have an Original Prussia MK3S+ with the MMU2 that I built from the kit, so I have a fair amount of experience with assembling and tuning 3D printers. The out of box assembly on this kit took about 20 minutes, and baring a bad power connector went without a hitch. The plug on the base of my unit had a bad connection between the fuse and the negative prong. I had to replace the power port right out of the box, but it was a $5 part on over-night from Amazon.

The user interface is very basic, but in a good way. It’s a Color touch screen with very straight forward options and commands. Octoprint compatible without any special modifications. The levelling menu is a nice touch so you don’t have to manually move the X/Y axises to level each corner/Center.
I found that I needed to level the bed after *EVERY* print (solution below). If you’re using Cura- just use the Alfawise U30 profile, as this is carbon copy the exact same machine.

I made a series of upgrades to mine- mostly around trying to avoid manually levelling the bed every print. The product page lists that it’s compatible with ABL sensors,...
