The other small problem I encountered was that every time I finished printing a model through my computer/the DeeControl software, the 3D printer would automatically disconnect after completion, which led me to have to restart the printer to reconnect to the DeeGreen to it’s compatible software. A couple of issues that became a persistent, yet not too major of an annoyance for me was that the printer couldn’t recognize that the print door was closed on it’s own, prompting me to have to restart the setting function to either park the print bed or continue my print. The auto-calibration and magnetically attachable print bed were also big highlights of the DeeGreen’s focus on user convenience, as the printer quickly calibrates the print bed while each individual print process is being loaded.īut although the UI was engineered to be easily understood and used by novices and experts alike, it was not without it’s minor flaws. Following suit with the easy-to-use functions, the DeeGreen has an SD card slot front-and-center on the machine, which allows users to use the reliable plug-and-play capability that it boasts about. The printer seems to be engineered to be as simple to use as it can be, within the settings function are only two main options, filament change and putting the print bed in parking position. The DeeGreen’s touchscreen UI loads up quickly, with a simple list of functions that include print, settings, information, and a shut down function. Within the printer’s SD card input was an preloaded card packed with pretty neat 3D designs such as an orbital spinning top and a small spiraled vase, allowing me to test out the printer’s functions instantly with the push of a couple of buttons from the DeeGreen’s touchscreen user interface. The entire set-up of the printer took no more than five minutes of my time. ( Thanks Y Soft!)Īfter easily equipping the glass print bed, which conveniently snaps into place magnetically, and installing the spool holder in the printer’s separate side compartment, where the filament is fed easily through the already assembled filament loading tube, the printer was ready to print. I’m certainly not the biggest expert when it comes to the internal engineering of 3D printers, so I was relieved to have opened the be3D box to find an almost fully assembled 3D printer with not just one but two 1.7-pound (0.75kg) spools of their bright green plant-based degradable PLA filament.

Although UPS tried their hardest to make sure that the now internationally available DeeGreen 3D printer never made it’s way to my Brooklyn apartment, I persevered and finally got my hands on the 64 lb package from Y Soft (the printer itself is a touch over 48 lbs). When I received word that I would be receiving the Y Soft be3D desktop 3D printer to review, I was pretty hyped seeing that it was the priciest desktop printer (listed at $1,999) I would have yet to lay my hands on.
