Hosting a large build volume of 310 mm * 310 mm * 400 mm, Sunlu S8 is a budget-friendly 3D printer. It lets you get a correct estimate about the 3D printer filament via a filament runout detection sensor. Adding to the user’s convenience is the printer’s power loss resume function that will store all your work during electricity cut-offs and let you resume from the point you left. S8 is widely applicable for creating scientific models, children’s toys, medical as well as educational equipment, etc.

Its easy four-step installation process makes it possible to start 3D printing within a short amount of time. To ease your interaction with the printer and let you control various functions in one go, the machine is equipped with an LCD screen. Moreover, a hotbed makes it possible to print with various filaments with high glass transitions.

Benefits:

Huge build volume.
Extremely affordable.
Decent print quality.
Heated print bed.

PROS:

Heated glass bed in the printer makes removing objects easy, also ensuring a consistent print surface.
Contoured large knob guarantees perfect leveling of the printer which minimizes user input making evening out the bed less difficult.
Massive print area makes it possible to print tall or wide objects.
The electrical component of printer houses wires and power generator against the frame which gives them more stability.
Durable, metal frame will not warp and provide immense strength to the printer to keep it away from moving when printing at top speed.
Gantry-style structure of the printer keeps the print area open while printing large objects.
Sunlu S8 is equipped with power interruption sensors.
XYZ stops prevent the entire unit from hitting the ends of the frame, thereby disrupting evenness.
If the filament that you are using for 3D printing parts or functional prototypes is missing or broken, you get an alert.

CONS:

Some 3D printed objects may turn out brittle. This may happen especially when creating intricate objects using Sunlu S8.
The printer is loud, as reported by some users and causes a metallic ring as it operates.
