JGAurora A5S review - Updated model
Vložit
- čas přidán 28. 06. 2024
- The A5S is the updated version of the popular A5 3D printer from JGAurora. It boasts some great features such as a large 305x305x320 build volume, textured glass bed, filament runout, power resume and a colour touch LCD screen.
In this review, I go over the changes and features, assembly and first prints, a range of test prints in PLA, ABS, PETG and TPU. I then summarise the pros and cons of using this 3D printer.
All prints in this test were done with the pre configured slicing profile for the A5 within Simplify3D 4.1. The SD card contains assembly/slicing instructions, as well as Cura and a JGAurora slicer.
This printer performed well during my review period. It was easy to setup and required little to no adjustment to maintain print quality.
This printer was provided for review by JGAurora. All opinions expressed are my own.

#3dprinting #a5s #review
Another great review and video. Inspires me to do more with my printer. AWSOME !
Great review as always Michael. As it often the case, you reminded me to do something on my CR-10 .... check the X axis is level, will be checking that before the next print. Thanks mate.
On another note, I've been talking with Johnny from Keenovo about the heater upgrade, he's been very helpful and quick to respond to my questions. Keenovo recommend sandwiching the heater to the bed, so I've managed to get hold of an aluminium sheet to do that, along with some cork (which should arrive Monday or Tuesday) to insulate the under side. I also suggested that he might want to include some instructions on the website for other customers and he has agreed to do it, great news
I've also replaced the bed springs with solid mounts.
Nice review
Thanks for sharing 😀👍
Hey Michael, time for an update on this wonderful video! Marlin 2.0 now supports 32x!
Great review ,nice printer ,I’m looking for my next printer ,currently using an Ender 3 ,which has been great for my first printer, looking for a second with a bigger print volume ,was thinking one of the cr10 range ,but this looks very nice ,would you recommend over a cr10 ?
Good review. How does it compare to the CR-10s pro? I want to buy my first printer but I'm having trouble deciding
what did you end up buying and recommending?
@@davidvalens3337 i ended up witn an anycubic chiron. Nexi tech has a good in depth review. I don't use it as much as I thought I would so I don't feel like I'm qualified to recommend anything
Great review.. I am debating on this printer.. I love the vase.. What is it that you have the vase on that lights up.. Could you please provide a link to that ?
Didn't the ABS prints prematurely lose bed adhesion when the bed heater turned off due to running out of filament?
I like my Ender 3’s, but Im finding that they constantly need maintenance or minor tweaking after a long run, or a series of small runs done back to back. It would be nice to have a printer that just works, with minimal tweaking. This seems to fit the bill more than I expected. Might have to put my plans to get a cr10s on hold.
Excellent video as always thank you!
I've had a few printers from different companies, both FDM and SLA ranging from $200-$2000. They all require maintenance and tweaking. Any machine with moving parts is going to need to a mechanic keeping it running.
@@ryanfitch750 So what machine would you recommend with least maintenance and tweaking, range 200-300 $
Does the 3d printer need to be ventilated. I bought one but have not put it together yet.
I have this new jg maker a5s. I had no issues printing the first item. The bolt. I understand we need to convert files to gcode. WE downloaded cura 4.3. We bring the file into the cura...slice then save as a gcode. We also changed the printer to jgaurorah a5 and a5s. the sd card was reformated so clean when we add the file. when trying to print it doesnt work. all wonky. But when reprinting the bolt it works fine.
Help please. Thank you
How come you don't put your fan on? I found it helps my prints from stringing.
Hai ser today I install jgaurora a1 3d Printer I checked Power failure resume print not ok. I am Printe 2 minutes then power off. 50 second power on my 3d Printer no resume print option.
S, It means hope in my planet
How about noise? Is this a loud printer?
Totally newbie question here, but what exactly is a "thermal runaway protection"? I mean how does it work? What does it do? Does the fact that it's not present here, make this printer dangerous or unsafe in any manner?
can you share the simplify3d printer profile for this please.
Did I miss it but there seems to be zero mention of the slicer used, slicer settings etc etc, you just seemed to download from thingsverse and slice with a unknown profile and slicer ?
There's a note in the description with this info.
What speed would you suggest? It is measured in percentage and not
mm/s which confuses me.
Hi, can install Micro Swiss All Metal Hotend Kit in this printer, if so, do I need to modify the firmware
Just get a compatible all metal heatbreak. no sense wasting time and money fussing around with a new hotend unless you are going to a genuine/clone hemera
would you still recommend this in 2020?
Could you please include links to buy from in Australia? Its a little annoying seeing an Australian youtuber only post US links
yes,you can buy from aliexpress. we will ship from Australia. but it is A5 not A5S .USD449 www.aliexpress.com/store/product/JGAURORA-3d-printer-NEW-A5S-big-print-size-305X305X320mm-color-touch-display-resume-print-filament-runs/1759640_32837988329.html?spm=2114.12010612.8148356.1.7e5a5beejxbEG4
Jgaurora A3s or Ender 5? Please anyone can help?
Never heard of them.
With the size of this printer, can i print a full helmet in one piece ???
yes ive watched some videos of things like iron man helmets
Hmm.... I get my Christmas bonus tomorrow....
did you do it?
I don't like this bed surface for high temp plastics -- I tried it with polycarb and when it cooled down, it ripped a piece of glass with the coating.
Me too and JG will send you a new plate of glass and want you to stick it on top of the old glass but chances are that the Z-Limit switch has already been adjusted to it's maximum and lets forget about heat up times increasing or the extra wear and tear on the stepper motors due to the extra weight.
oh, watch out because the glass bed they sent me was a factory reject, had hairs stuck under the black coating and that's after waiting six weeks for it to arrive.
@@alansmith3720 there are a lot of Chinese manufacturers using this textured glass surface which is essentially the same and all are supposed to be magic -- hold while hot, self release when cool, and all are promising up to 150c capability and I tried it on a printer (with a bed which only goes up/down) and it got destroyed after 3 polycarb prints, so I got my money back and will never use this snake oil again. Word of caution DO NOT use these textured glass above 70c -- it will be ruined.
@@kazolar You are speaking to the converted, plain old glass for me like you put in windows or better still a mirror
@@alansmith3720 I'm a big fan of PEI. I was convinced by a number of CZcamsrs to give this textured glass a shot -- live and learn. I've returned to my PEI covered glass. Might take more convincing to release after print is done, but at least the surface is not destroyed.
@@kazolar i use mine with 90C and PETG and everything works great! It sticks perfectly and it just slides off after it cooled down...
Who is to say they cloned the Ultrabase? I had this printer before the Ultrabase showed up. Not by a lot but you can't say they cloned the anycubic.
The teaching tech logo on your wall is crooked... yeegh. Cannot unsee.
so he did not wont to use a glue stick i do not get it but ok
1:06 $379.99 and free shipping from BangGood and $329.99 +$47.42=$377.41 Shipping from GearBest is only a saving of $2.58. I'd rather buy from BangGood.
I'm currently getting one from DHgate.com for only $131.74 am I being scammed
Did you get scammed? I found a cheap one on ebay
Dhgate is wholesale so Idk if you'd have to buy a bunch or what
If you really bought this thing, the first question you ask yourself is: how do you make a real 3d printer out of this wobbly tin can? The second one is: To whom can you sell the scrap?
This is a great printer, I have much better results than you show
I had good results too with my JGAurora A5 but then as i used it more and more the wheels just kept falling off and I have spent month waiting for parts and being played around by the help desk who act like they cannot read English when it suites them and parts don't arrive six weeks later.
@@alansmith3720 Hey ,Alan,sorry for the inconvenience ,now we have spread ed our customer service network .you can get quicker help by join our official support group on facebook facebook.com/groups/1349035645215936/ .Typically you will get a reply within 24 hours
I do not advise you to buy it ... the motherboard burned out for a month I wait for aliexpress, but they promise to send it only in March, and then this is not for sure ... no support
Yes fantastic features, good looks but my JGAuroa keeps falling to bits, fault after fault and its takes months waiting for parts to arrive on a slow boat from China and the guarantee is not worth the paper it is printed on.
"Quality Control" ! They send out factory rejects glass beds and advise you to stick the new glass on top of the old one and anyone that understands 3D printers will understand why this is a NO, NO
She's sexy but no good for outside the bedroom
Hi Alan and all the 3D printer fans ,just a poll please ,what do you expect to get improved from JG Aurora products .Welcome to speed up .I will collect them and pass to our relevant department to get them optimized in a decent time
@@JGAURORA3dprinter I can't take any more of the lines that appear on the prints apparently caused by the Z axis. Unfortunately that is a very negative point here with the A5. As I am in Brazil, I have used palliative parts to reduce the damage, but definitely the problems have not been solved. Before you even launched this model fixing the gantry to the base from the side, I had already done something very similar that helped, but the axes are not parallel to each other nor parallel to the gantry.
Its a goof printer. Butt i bougt one that was broken and the services of this company is ridiculous! They want you to repair the whole printer. And after 4 months of trail and error. They dont want to solve the problem and refuse to answer my emails. So i should look for a better service/quality/printer.
Jgaurora is a bad company
You know what the tape is used for right? Lmao it tells you not to remove it because it's a method used for first layer adhesion... did you really not know this? lol
