The Cocoon Create Touch 3D Printer is a clone of the Wanhao i3 Plus. This printer was in high demand and with short supply, very hard to get a hold of. This great value 3d printer was on sale from Aldi for $499 AUD.
I went to 2 local Aldi stores in the afternoon on the day of the release, the printer and filament were both sold out. Luckily a good mate checked his local store for me and found a printer there.
The specs are the same as the Wanhao i3 Plus, just in grey instead of black and a different layout of the touch screen menu.
Very easy to setup, level the bed, load objects gcode, add filament, and start printing.
The first prints are test prints to see how the printer preformed. I was quite impressed in the quality of the prints with the out of the box setup and default settings.
Slicer used - Cura
First print
Cocoon Bot – Yellow PLA 0.1mm Layer height and 20% infill
Second Print
3dbenchy boat –Red PLA 0.1mm Layer height and 20% infill
If you have this printer do this mod upgrade.
