Bluer Plus(BLU-5) i3-style 3D Printer - TwoTrees

The screen is broken. The motherboard is extremely slow. Completely useless out of the box. No one has helped. I got messages from support saying someone will be in touch 5 days ago. Still no help, refund, or follow up.

Stay away!!!!

I had issues with the z axis not traveling smoothly so I removed the belt (the motors run off the same driver so the belt isn’t necessary)

Now the printer works great.

Make sure to replace the stock bowden tube with Capricorn.

Until I recieved my Two Trees Bluer Plus (Blu-5) I had never even seen a 3D printer in person. I had never had experience with laser engraving prior to ordering a Two Trees TTS-55 Laser Engraver in May, 2022 either. Right off the bat I was extremely happy with the engraver and after researching the entry level 3d printers on the market I was confident the Blu-5 was the right choice for me, especially since the print size capacity and other features seemed to be better than others and at a better price. I was not disappointed.

I ordered the Blu-5 on August 3rd, 2022 and it was delivered on August 8th. It couldn't have been packaged any better without being packed in a wooden crate. Every part was fit snuggly into it own niche carved out within the dense foam packing material with all the tools and accesories required for assembly, including a USB card reader and Micro-SD card which contained the software and documentation.

After I had it up and running for a little while, I noticed the connection at the build plate wasn't quite like the connector I had seen on some of the YouTube reviews. I was already a member of official Two Trees groups on Facebook so I enquired about it to one of the Admins. After their investigation of my order it was determined to be among the first lots shipped. Soon afterwards I was sent the files necessary to print the part I needed. So, within hours I had assembled, started using, asked for help, provided with the files and printed the part I needed. Can't ask for much more than that.

The quality of the pieces I have printed are spectacular in my opinon. The "Benchy" is just as it came off of the printer, no post processing whatsoever. The video was made with a machine I printed from files that I found on Thingiverse.com

I have also included some picture of Lithophanes I printed. One was printed from Cura at "Standard Quality - 0.20mm" and the other at "Super Quality - 0.12mm"
To say the least I am VERY impressed that such things can be made by someone with ZERO prior experience.

A big Thank You to Two Trees for making my first endeavors with these technologies a huge success!

I received this machine on April 14 2022, when box was opened I found loose parts laying in packing, as I unpacked the machine found the x rail left side loose t nuts had been pulled through rail and bearing was missing from top of gantry, found in lower part of box. after 3 hours of resetting every thing and making sure all was square I finely turned it on. First I let it home it seemed to press on build plate, I tried auto level did the same, found that probe on auto level was broke ,They are sending new sensor , but I had extra probes for this sensor so I repaired that, now it auto leveled but tries to print up to high ,. This is a brand new machine and I have spent the better part of a week making repairs, Customer Service is hard to talk with. I was the biggest mistake I made this year buying this machine, the should replace it

Long story short, this was an upgrade from and old Anet8 clone. This printer performs like a champ. Very easy and quick to assemble. I've got 40 hour on it and still going strong. Excellent and clever design which makes assembly super easy. The setting this printer are in the latest version of Cura when you 'add printer'. I'm using the Linux version of Cura with the generic pla settings and I got excellent results. Also my first ever attempt to print with TPU came out great. Make sure to adjust the bed rollers, mine were a little loose. Check you-tubes for more info. Also adjust the left and right z axis lead screws to sync the height, mine was off by 0.5 mm, just to give you and idea.
