Created in China, in Jinhua, in 2011, Flashforge is a historical player in the desktop FDM/FFF 3D printer market, with many recognized models to its name including the Creator, the Finder and the Dreamer. More recently, the brand has also entered the resin 3D printer market with the Hunter and Foto models. Now with the recent release of the Guider 3 Plus, Flashforge’s latest FDM/FFF 3D printer model, we had the opportunity to receive it in our lab.
Available for a price of about $6,799 including VAT and shipping (€5,500, excluding VAT and shipping), this new machine features a large, fully enclosed printing enclosure and challenges the competition in the professional FDM/FFF 3D printer market, confirming the Flashforge’s efforts to professionalize its range. Below, you can find our test and discover the features and performance of the Guider 3 Plus 3D printer in the 3Dnatives Lab.
Unwrapping the Flashforge Guider 3 Plus
As soon as it arrived, we freed the Flashforge Guider 3 Plus from its box and discovered the attention paid by the Chinese manufacturer to protection during transport. The packaging consists of a thick, rigid cardboard box, while the printer is protected by a plastic film and foam blocks.
