Check on youtube and I found Adam Savage “Tested: Dremel 3D45 3D Printer! What an amazing machine, I’ve had this for a few weeks now and failed prints due to machine errors are non existent. It resides in the man cave next to the bed room and is reassuringly quiet in operation. I’d happily buy another one and this machine is a definite an alternative to the makerbot replicator which is getting mixed reviews.

My first prints in pla worked like a dream, nylon and abs were effortless. Overall we are very pleased with this device, and excited to see what else we can make (I've found a template to make Groot once he gets good at it! There are some built-in designs but there are also lots available on the internet, and my tester made a Thunderbird 1 model (see attached photo). The only snag is I had to set it up as if I was in the USA to use the cloud print service which isn’t documented.

I read a criticism that the 3D45 touchscreen would not respond as quickly as expected but mine seems efficient and quickly responsive, so no doubt there has been a Firmware upgrade. After a few preliminary prints on my Dremel 3D45 to gain experience, producing brackets to hold my iPhone in odd places, I printed a new gear using Eco-ABS, installed it and now my shredder is running smoothly again; wonderful and rather extraordinary! However, Dremel will need to offer other printing nozzle options (higher temperature and greater abrasion proofing) and a wider range of printing filaments (carbon fibre, ASA) otherwise I shall seriously consider defecting to a PRUSA printer in due course.

Both are very similar but the 3D45 can print in a wider array of materials (PLA, ABS, nylon) and has a heated glass print bed. Overall I am delighted with my purchase which has provided a very easy entry for me into the world of 3D printing.

I don’t yet know if this is user or printer error or maybe due to software glitches, but 3D printing seems to require commitment and persistence. . No need to be running up and down stairs to check on the printer for this old boy.
