Anycubic 12+

This is a good start but the software for slicing is way too limited to be useful. Not being able to adjust infill percentage is a huge bummer. Overall - it works, sometimes. But sometimes you need 100% infill or slower speed and it just doesn’t cut it for those times. Not a huge fan. Keep working on it. It’s not awful but not good either

Anycubic tracks the hours that the printer is on. They have designed it so you can’t turn off the printer remotely via the app if you’re not home. While the app allows you to do many other things, turning off the printer is not an option. I believe they did this to accumulate hours on the printer, making it appear as if it has been used for a long time. As a result, many of the hours on my 3D printer are from it just sitting idle. This design choice seems to discourage people from reselling the device. It’s smart from a company perspective but not beneficial for the consumer. I was considering buying the newest printer from Anycubic, but after this experience, I’ve decided against it. I’m going to make sure other people are aware of this through blogs and other platforms to help others avoid the same mistake I made when purchasing this 3D printer. Anycubic needs to prioritize the customer instead of focusing on tactics that increase their profit. Customers and their reviews are the most important aspect for a company's success.

It used to be fairly simple to login but now they’ve “improved” it, where are you have to go back-and-forth between verifying whether you are human and trying to enter in your password and although each step is correct it just doesn’t register so you keep trying, keep trying keep trying and then eventually maybe you’ll get in by doing the same things over and over again.

Same successful human check, same successful email and password, it thinks and thinks and thinks until you realize you need to scroll up and it’s another human check, which then you do successfully, and then you have to login with your password and email again, and it thinks and thanks and thanks until you scroll up and realize you have to do another human check, and keep repeating the process about 15 to 20 times, at which point perhaps you’ll get in, which tells me there’s something on their end that’s a problem.

It’s really not worth it to try to use their program at this point.
