About this deal

After mounting the Longer LK5 Pro, I had a rather rare problem: the print bed wobbled! This is of course bad for reliable operation… High-temperature Resistant Teflon Tube: LK5 Pro 3d printer's teflon tube can withstand high temperature which up to 280℃ (others printers are 250 ℃ in normal), is not easy to soften, and is easier to feed filaments during printing which helps to improve the printing quality and reduce nozzle clogging.

Longer's vision is rooted in a simple but powerful phrase - "With Longer, Make Things Better". Driven by a passion for technological advancement, the brand strives to push the boundaries of the 3D digital industry, seeing itself as an innovative leader in 3D printing and maker tools. Connect cables: All cables of the 3D printer are marked with letters. There is a simple table in the manual that shows you exactly where to plug in each cable. The connectors are designed so that you can not plug them in the wrong way. The Longer LK5 Pro* is suitable for beginners who want to print larger objects of good quality for little money. This budget 3D printer delivers not only a large print volume but also a very intuitive operation via a modern touch screen and a simple manual print bed leveling. Pros & Cons It is better to stand higher temperatures and not easy to soften to reducing nozzle clogging, and this would increase printing quality. Bigger Print VolumeIn 2020, Longer made a major breakthrough when they introduced the world's fastest 3D printing system, setting a new benchmark for speed and efficiency. This major achievement cements their position as the industry's technology pioneers. The super lattice cube is two lattice cubes rotated in on each other, and it makes everything look quite complicated. This is a great test for overhangs, temperatures, cooling, and retraction. This is a print where no settings had been tweaked on the slicer software i use Simplify3D (S3D). How cool is it to print a model that once it’s finished, it moves around from its articulated joints. The designer created a pattern for the wings, which is like the real thing but with less detail to make it printable. But unfortunately for me that did not happen because of being printed to close to the bed so all the joins fused together. This is an easy fix adjust your z offset. Quite happy with the print quality, therefore i have attached a string to the tail and hanged it on one of my trees outside. Longer also claims that the texturing makes the glass bed flatter. I can’t really understand this claim, but I couldn’t detect any unevenness on the print bed either. Supported Print Bed Leveling Cura is a free slicer that many machine owners and manufactures use. The program is frequently updated. Unfortunately, profiles created with older revisions do not always import properly. They may fail to import, get corrupted, or will not be visible after importing. We will try to indicate which revision it created a profile with and update profiles as time permits. PLA Cura Slicer Profiles Kywoo Tycoon Cura Slicer Profile – Link

In 2019, they proudly launched the LK4 Pro and Orange10 desktop FDM/LCD printers, offering users multiple options for their creative pursuits. There are also preset accuracy modes that you can select. With these settings, you can get started right away and start your first prints. Test PrintThe print bed leveling is done manually on the Longer LK5 Pro. It is supported via the menu by pressing a button to move to 5 different locations on the print bed. The only thing I noticed negatively here is the very sparsely dimensioned filament. It is just enough for a small test print. Longer LK5 Pro is not a successor to a regular LK5 since the manufacturer preferred using the terms Pro to signify the use of the same color LCD found on the LK4 Pro and a larger frame. There is obviously some marketing fluff there as well. In any case, the 3D printer, when fully built, is larger than both the LK4 and the LK4 Pro, measuring 22.8 x 21.2 x 26.1 inches (58.0 x 54.0 x 66.3 cm) and weighing 29.8lbs (13.5kg), so yes, you do need to plan ahead where it’s going to be positioned because it does take a lot of space. The good news is that the print size is 11.8 x 11.8 x 9.8 inches (30.0 x 30.0 x 40.0 cm), so you can create very large models. The Longer brand is the brainchild of the distinguished Dr. Lao. Holder from Georgia Tech with ten years of experience in advanced additive manufacturing and new materials. Driven by a passion for bringing ideas to life, Dr. Lao has published more than 50 academic papers and received more than 5,000 citations. Reflecting his expertise and dedication, he founded Longer to provide professional and cost-effective 3D printers and engravers to users worldwide.
