I’ve waited purposefully to review this printer by Longer (lk5 pro). After nearly 300 build hours on it and tons of learning curves I can say it definitely has no issues printing. I’ve printed PLA, PETG, ABS and even the notorious TPU filaments through this and though there is some trial and error involved I can say it’s solid.Its stable heat range seems to max at about 250c with the bed able to stay stable at 90c after that it has problems and fails. I am unsure if putting an all metal extruder on with allow it to get hotter for those exotic filaments but as of now I have no need to check that. The build plate is pretty large too at 300D300W400H allowing those bigger and taller prints to fit.It comes pretty much together with just a little bit of build work involved by fairly simple, the hot bed plate is also fairly nice and seems to do a good job although I’d recommend the first print you do, be a scraper as the metal scraper provided can easily dig and gouge the plate if you’re not careful. It does seem to leave a bit of ghosting residue but most of the time a good wipe with 91% propylene alcohol does the trick. (Pro tip keep you bed warm when you do this)Now for the cons, the bed leveling is rough which is normal on most printers. Manually turning the nobs is barbaric in my opinion and with a machine that is a make it or break situation, literally. Prints turn bad if you’re off .2mm sometimes depending on the detail even .1 makes a huge difference and to rely on a piece of paper and my own judgement is crazy in this day and age. Luckily you can buy a autolevel sensor called a BLTouch. However be warned the information on this is very difficult to navigate. You will need firmware from longer which you request via emailing them. Then you will need pronterface software to both enable and calibrate the leveler to your machine. That’s after you become an electrician and wire the sensor into your main board which can brick the printer if you are careful and ground the sensor incorrectly. And there is a dozen main board designs so you have to be careful not to read the wrong schematic as well.I will say the customer service is top of the line though, and helped me through all of my troubles so don’t turn away or get frustrated if something doesn’t go how you wanted it too. They will help you along the way and are very friendly in doing so.In closing it’s a great beginner printer at a good cost point and is highly upgradable as well, for the price you’re getting such a good. Buy an enclosure for it!!! I cannot stress it enough these plastics thrive in them and it makes such a better quality print.Hope all this helps and have fun!

Nice quality for the price, decent for small projects, running quiet and print with high accuracy. Not easy to setup and use, took me 2 hours to setup and calibrate. It supports many types of filaments but it only comes with a little short white filament so need to buy separately.

I’ve been using the Longer LK5 3D printer for the past few months and I am thoroughly impressed with its performance, print quality and ease of use. The LK5 pro has a solid and sturdy design. The frame is well-constructed. The printing quality is outstanding even with minimal tuning. I was able to get clean, precise prints with great detail. It is an outstanding choice for both beginners and experienced users.

I bought this printer June of this for Father’s Day. At first the the printer worked great and we had no issues with it. Now 4 months later it says the motherboard has issues we can’t use it anymore. I thought it came with a 1 year warranty but I can’t get in touch with anyone to make an exchange or get a new part for this and Amazon says my support period is over. So disappointing as my husband uses this to create things and it was never excessively used for the mother board to go out already after 4 months.

This printer is seriously Easy to set up and start printing with. Basic settings deliver decent quality for this price. Excellent first printer. Straight forward and easy to use. Works well and I'm very pleased with my purchase.

Pros:-Comes with SD card/USB adapter to transfer instructions between pc and printer, so no need to buy new cables or rely on wireless connections.-Somewhat easy to assemble-A lot of printing space for the priceCons:-Leveling has to be done manually-Tests pre-downloaded on SD card are okay, but I would recommend pulling some off Thingiverse instead-Software installation package on the SD card doesn't support the LK5 Pro out of the box. You have to find the latest software online yourself or another application that supports it.-Heatbed was warped which ruins prints-Bad documentation (some components and specs did not match what was in the instruction manual).My overall review is that this printer is okay for the money especially with the print space you are given. However, you may be better off either spending a bit more on a printer with better quality and documentation if you don't feel like replacing a few parts. Also I recommend using a third party filament since those are of better quality than the testing filament that comes with the printer.

Easy to set up and use with computer. Support arms included to strengthen gantry, adjustable bed for printing. Can switch between 115 and 230 v depending on local power. Some filament included as well as spare parts and tools for continued set up. Software setup included. Its absolutely wonderful for large projects, I’ve enjoyed making bigger models like helmets and structures for my table top miniatures!

I bought it for my 12 years old son who is addicted to video games. It works well for my purpose. The printer menu is easy to understand. The print quality is decent. My son is enjoying making his project and designing.
