I’m not an expert 3D printer by any means, only having a hand-me-down monoprice unit from a good friend. After spending the better part of a year learning to use that machine, I decided it was time to upgrade. I had been bouncing around between Prusa and Artillery and just happened to be browsing this site when the V3 (aka Titan V2 according to the manual) was made available and managed to place an order before it sold out.

My unit shipped a couple of days later and took about a week to cross the country. UPS dropped it (literally) at my door, but thankfully it made it okay. I did have to tighten one bolt because the mounting plate was loose. You can search YouTube for that if you need it.

It went together pretty easily. I didn’t have any trouble following the (minimal) manual that comes with it. All of the parts were very neatly grouped into bags and every single tool you need to assemble it is included.

Thus far, I’ve only printed a couple of things, and while I certainly need to dial in some settings, I’m blown away by the results so far. The thing is so quiet. The fan in the control box is louder than the printer itself. I found it a little tricky getting the filament into the extruder for the first time, being unfamiliar with the E3D extruder. Once I figured out to unscrew the bolt, relieving pressure on the spring so I could manually push the black plastic piece in the direction of the arrow, it was easy. I’m using Hatchbox True White PLA and have had nothing but success. Again, I’m no expert, this is only my second printer and the first I actually purchased for myself. I don’t have much to go by, but thus far I’m happy.
