    5 Stars
    Easy to use, right out of the box
    I bought this printer because I was in a bind, and needed something that would work right out of the box... and I needed is FAST, to complete some orders within a deadline. I also needed something that would print Nylon well, and with no issues, again right out of the box. I use Prusa Mk3s for most of my production- And, if I'd have had time, would have just ordered another one of them. But- I didn't have time for it to arrive and to get it assembled. So, after reading reviews and doing some research, I bought this one.Don't want to read a long review? Here are the Pros and Cons-PROS--Prints well, right out of the box.-Easy, guided setup.-No assembly, testing, or tweaking-Easy to use touch screen interface, Web based 'cloud' printing through WIFI, and easy to use slicer included-Great US based customer support-Fully enclosed, VERY quiet.-All metal hotend can handle just about any filamentCons--Build area is on the small side-Designed to use Dremel filaments. You CAN use 3rd party, but you'll have to make some changes. Dremel spools are smaller than 'normal' spools.-A little tough to adjust settings while printingIf you still think it might be for you, read on!So- How easy is it REALLY to set up? From opening the box to starting the first print was less than 20 minutes, and most of that time was spent removing all the packing material. This machine is ready to go, right out of the box. All you really have to do (other than remove all of the packaging!) is to put the bed in place and load the filament. Oh, you have to plug it in, too...I switched it on, and it walks you through the setup, first connecting to your WiFi network. I loaded one of the included filament rolls. The printer does not have a self leveling bed, but it uses an assisted leveling process to get everything set. It's quick and painless, the printer tells you EXACTLY what to do. Since my first time leveling, I have not had to relevel the bed yet. I have checked it a few times, but it's always OK. You have several options to control the printer- Using the web interface, the touch screen, or via a USB connected computer. For the first print, I decided to just use one of the files that was preloaded in the printer, with the touch screen. You scroll through a couple of easy to navigate menus using the touch screen interface, hit start, and let it go. The first print turned out nice.For the next print, I used the web-based interface. There is a slicer online, but I chose to use the slicing software that came with the printer, The DigiLab Slicer. Those who are familiar with Cura will immediately recognize it- it's Dremel's own version. It is quick and easy to use, and like other versions of Cura allows you to do a lot of custom setting changes to tweak your prints as needed. I chose to do a 'benchy' so I could compare it to the others I have printed on my other printers. I uploaded it, and sent it to the printer via Dremel's online interface. The really cool thing about printing from the cloud is the video monitoring- I can check in on it any time i want to on my iPhone or computer. And, when the print is done, I get an Email that includes a time lapse video of the entire print. The Benchy turned out great. Not QUITE as nice as the ones that I print on my Prusas, but bear in mind i'm getting this quality of output right out of the box.So- Next thing to try is a more 'exotic' filament- Nylon. I've always had difficulty with nylon, and have avoided it. I read a lot of reviews about this printer that said it did a great job with Nylon. So, I loaded the included spool of Nylon filament and gave it a shot. The first thing that I printed was a simple wall hook. It printed very nicely- Almost flawless. The strength and flexibility of nylon prints is unbelievable. I'm really looking forward to using more of it.The printer is 'optimized' for using Dremel filaments- In fact, the filament spools have RFID chips in them that allow the printer to identify what kind of filament you have loaded. You are not restricted to only Dremel brand, though, it can also use other filaments as well. The Dremel uses a smaller spool size, so you'll have to make some arrangements to use the materials from other manufacturers. You'll also have to tell the printer what the filament type is since there won't be a chip for it to read. I found a new cover for the filament spool opening on Thingiverse that has an opening to feed the filament through, and I mount my filament on a spool holder next to the printer.I have put several spools of 'third party' filament through my 3D45- Mostly PETG. It prints it beautifully.If you're looking for a 3D printer that is going to work right out of the box- With no tinkering or assembly, this is a great choice. If you use just the Dremel Filaments, it will be about as painless a process as 3D printing can be- You will just hit the 'print' button and come back later to take your print off the bed. It is about as easy to use and user friendly as a 3d printer can be. This is where 3D printing needs to go to make it more 'mainstream'... Not everyone enjoys playing with settings and tinkering- Some just want to PRINT!**UPDATE**I've now had this printer up and running for about 3 weeks. I have it going just about 24/7 for about the previous two weeks, producing PETG parts for a machine that I build and sell. It has performed flawlessly, and has produced incredible parts that are both accurate and strong.I decided to try out some other filaments on it, too. The last two pics are items printed with Carbon Fiber PLA. I used SunTop 3d filament, which is available on Amazon. The quality of the prints is incredible- Both of them are right off the build sheet.

    Reviewed in the United States on September 11, 2020
    I've had my 3D45 for a couple weeks and have been printing pretty much 15-24 hours a day with no issues.

    The unit itself is built with quality materials. Nothing seems cheap. I was really impressed with the Operating Instructions manual. If you've ever owned Bosch or other high quality power tools, you will definitely appreciate the level of detail included in the 3D45 manual.

    The online reviews for this unit all agree, it's a high quality consistent machine. Knowing that schools regularly purchase the unit enough that Dremel markets an educational version, says a lot. It's safe and durable for around children.

    I especially like the design of the filament spool loader. My first 3D printer had the spool floating above the unit on a flimsy plastic rod but this unit's design is built into the unit and completely hidden from exterior.

    The unit also just looks cool with the ambient lighting.

    I have only had one issue so far and that was getting the cloud based website to allow registration. I've only been able to use the supplied USB stick to transfer files. I assume that was a website issue and had nothing to do with the machine itself. Just while writing this review, I checked again and it worked, so there. No more issues.

    One minor issue I see on the touchscreen is that the way the files are listed in big letters, it makes it difficult to differentiate files with similar long names. It's best to label files differently in the first few characters or else have to wonder which file you're building. This may only be an issue with using the USB drive and not printing from the cloud.

    I also found the Digilab slicer to work very well. It takes a little bit to learn the controls but all the pre-sets seem to work perfectly.

    If it's your first printer, you're going to have difficulty swallowing the price on this unit but I can attest after having tried cheaper units (<$800), I think the extra money is well spent.

    A few other points:
    Leveling system is dummy-proof. You''ll like it.
    I really like the glass build plate after having another machine with a gritty plastic removable pad. Prying material off the glass build plate (when using glue stick) can be a little difficult but I tend to rinse the plate with water and soap and then use the supplied "spackling knife" to wedge the material off. The first time I got pushy with it the blade slid into my opposing palm and cut it so I learned to push away from my hand from then on. I would've thought using glue every time would be a hassle, but it's not. The glue washes off very easily and then you're back to work again in less than a minute. Taking the plate on and off is very easy. One catch on the build volume is to remember that even though your build may technically fit on the glass, it may not work when you include the required skirt. Read up on skirts if you're new to printing, since it affects the overall dimensions of the build volume.

    The front door is a bit flimsy since it has not frame. I would appreciate a surrounding frame to give it a little more strength. I will eventually break that door, I'm sure. Otherwise, it opens and closes very nicely.

    You may find the noise a bit loud even with machine doors closed. I moved mine into a spare room so I can close the bedroom door. If you're using it in your home office, you'll quickly become annoyed by the buzzing and fan.

    My top deciding factors in my selection were: price, build volume, material options, connection to computer (usb/cord/wifi/etc.)

    I hope this helps your decision. I would recommend the purchase if you can afford it.

    They're not kidding when they say you can have this thing printing within 10-15 minutes of unboxing it. Once you have it unboxed, all you need to do is plug it in, follow the steps to level the bed, connect wifi, etc. Then, load your first filament and run over to your slicer program and hit print! I can't say enough good things about this printer, but here's the bullet points:

    Pros:
    - The RFID system is amazing. It makes it so easy to quickly swap filament types. I'm constantly bouncing between PLA, PETG and ECO-ABS and all I have to do is click change filament, snip the old filament line and feed in the new filament. Once fed it detects the RFID chip on your roll and configures all the temps for you. Very, very, little effort. Half the time you don't even have to consider what type of filament you stuck in, it'll "just work".
    - When you run out of filament, rather than failing, it automatically pauses and waits for you to add more. So if you run out of filament in an overnight print, no big deal. Just swap out the roll when you wake up.
    - I've printed several flawless PETG prints, amazing because PETG is usually very difficult to work with. But with this printer, it's no different than PLA. I have not tried Nylon yet, but I'm guessing it'll be the same experience.
    - You really can set it up in 10-15 minutes.
    - Bed leveling is so easy it's almost cheating. You just hit the bed level button and wait, if pokes around the bed looking for unleveled surfaces then tells you exactly what knobs to turn and prompts you when you've turned them far enough. A 5 year old could relevel the print bed on this in about 1-2 minutes.
    - There's no smell at all (unless you open the door obviously), no matter what material I print with. The filter on this is amazing. I print only 3 feet from my desk (and in fact, it's printing right now behind me) and there's no odor of any kind what so ever.
    - It's very quiet, but not completely silent. I can whisper to my wife on the other side of the room while its running and she can hear me just fine. You know it's running but its not disruptive what so ever.
    - Love the internal bright lights. Makes it really easy to see your print.
    - This is the only printer I've used with a heated bed, so I can't say much for how good it actually is. But it seems really good. I've never had issues with it, and the only time I've ever had build adhesion issues is when I missed a spot applying glue (and even then, sometimes its fine anyway). I've also only experienced warping once out of about 50-60 prints thus far, and it may have been my own fault.
    - Literally every print fail I've had was my fault.
    - It can do some amazing bridging, I'm shocked what this thing can print without supports. I accidentally printed a model with a *4 inch long* straight overhang in ECO-ABS, and *somehow* it magically printed with no issue.
    - Touchscreen is very nice and easy to use.
    - and of course, the print quality is exactly what you would expect from a nearly $2,000 printer.

    Cons:
    - Awkward spool size, if you buy third party filament you may need to print yourself a Dremel-sized spool to put the filament on (There's one on thingiverse), or just keep an old Dremel roll around to respool your third party filament to, just remember to rip off the RFID tag.
    - Official Dremel filaments are very high quality but does cost more. It can cost anywhere from $20-$35/roll, and the rolls are only 0.75kg. Although you can use third party filament anyway, you just lose the benefits of the RFID system.
    - I had one bug, I believe a firmware glitch, that misreported the Z level of the bed, causing the bed to smack into the extruder when printing. It was an easy fix, simply just rebooted the printer.
    - The "Dremel" brand slicer program is based on an older version of Cura (1.2.3). But it still works like a champ, and I've really not had any issues with it. It also has a ton of 3D45-specific profiles already setup to use.
    - Sort of a pro and a con; The printer stubbornly will refuse to print if you have the door open. So make sure you always keep it closed. Up side, you don't want the door open when you print anyway, Down side is you may know it's open and you're just wanting to initiate the print while you're cleaning up your workspace or something, and the printer may be in another room. But you *can* open the door after printing has started.
    - The camera is nice to have, but admittedly, it's fairly low quality. It's a 720p camera, but the framerate is super low (guessing about 10 FPS). It's perfect for checking your prints, but don't expect to use it to make really cool high-resolution time lapses for Youtube.

    There's a reason this printer costs nearly $2,000. If you're more interested in printing things than tinkering with the printer, this is the printer for you.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Brand name with excellent reputation
    Reviewed in Canada on June 26, 2019
    After many months of online research, reviewing YouTube and blogs it became obvious that the best choice was to spend a little more money and purchase a quality 3D Printer. This was my first personal printer, but I have had a few years experience with a professional, engineering unit.
    With a few years of work experience with printers, I had a good understanding on the process to print and the need for a high quality print to achieve necessary results for prototyping etc.
    The Dremel 3D45 offered not only high quality prints, but an excellent selection of usable resins.
    After having unpacked my shipment from Amazon, as specified on the Dremel website, the 3D45 was virtually ready to plug in and print. The unit is well manufactured, sturdy (a little heavy) and manufactured with quality parts.
    This became more evident with the first print, observing the precise automatic palette levelling and electro/mechanical movement.
    Set-up is easy and straightforward, with clear and well detailed instructions. A first time user would have no difficulty navigating the initial set-up.
    The only difficulty I encountered was the touch screen size/font for internet set-up, made keying in passwords very difficult for the normal man with normal fingers. (I suggest a touch screen stylist)
    Set-up was completed in about 90 minutes, and printing a sample model confirmed the print quality.
    Printing some personal prototype designs with Ultra Quality settings were virtually perfect with minimal surface finishing needed. Change over from the various resin spools was easy and quick.
    Whether you're an experienced 3D printer, or a novice I highly recommend you consider spending the extra money and ensure yourself a printer that will last a long time, has the backing and guarantee of a well known, respected manufacturer, as well as the peace of mind that Service (if needed) will be available.
    Many of the complaints I've read about cheaper, 3D printers highlighted the issues about Service and Tech Support.
    I am confident Dremel will stand behind their 3D printers like all Dremel products.
    At the end of the day, I have zero regrets or complaints about purchasing this high quality printer.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Full featured and capable 3D printer
    Reviewed in Canada on March 24, 2021
    The 3D45 is a capable 3D printer that has out preformed my previous printer in many ways. I use a painters tape on the build platform and get fantastic adhesion. The enclosed design is one of the main reasons I got this model, it provides great stable temperatures for printing more finicky types of filament and has an air filter on the back to reduce some of the odour/gasses. Filament feed as been great and prints come out fairly clean with good layer adhesion. The semi-automated levelling procedure is a DREAM compared to my last printer which was fully manual, this has also been one of my favourite features. The printer also comes with some glue and a scraper plus a couple (full roll) filament types which is a nice touch.

    The main con is what most people have mentioned, the proprietary spool sizes. If you stick to dremel spools it's very convenient with the RFID chips that provide default print parameters (which have all been good so far) and it tucks away nicely inside the machine (also good for temperatures). But ultimately you're locked in to a specific vendor unless you rewind cheaper filament onto Dremel spools. I've also found the cloud interface a bit lacking, it's clunky to use and difficult to find the portal to access it, and I've never been able to successfully upload a print to the printer through this interface. Luckily the silcer software is very capable and connects with the printer over my local network (I ran cat5 to the printer).

    Overall I'd definitely recommend this printer to hobbyists/enthusiasts.

    5.0 out of 5 stars This is the printer to have if you are tired of adjusting, upgrading and fixing cheap printers!
    Reviewed in Canada on April 22, 2021
    What I like the most that I was printing within an hour of receiving the printer. Everything worked as advertised. It is such a pleasure to spend time on designing ideas and then printing them. I have not spend a moment troubleshooting, or fixing since the printer works without fail. Everytime.

    I appreciate the good manuals, and written in good English.
    I appreciate the quality of the machine.
    I appreciate the warranty.
    I appreciate the semi auto leveling.
    I appreciate the faultless prints everytime.

    With my previous cheaper Chinese printer there is always much time spend on adjusting, levelling, and restarting failed prints. With the wanhao it is always printing successfully for weeks, and then suddenly not printing at all. So, I know the wanhao has a place in the market, but I don’t enjoy troubleshooting the printer, when I could have done innovative designs!

    So no more struggles for me, no more troubleshooting and fixing printers. Thanks Dremel!

    1.0 out of 5 stars Printer won’t power up
    Reviewed in Canada on September 29, 2023
    I purchase my 3D printer in July, not my first one. I finally unboxed it and it doesn’t work, it won’t power up, and we tried everything, power cord, wall outlet,
    I can’t return it, it is past 30 days.
    I need some help here.

    And yes, I should have tested it within the 30
    day mark. My 3 other printer had no issues.

    4.0 out of 5 stars Printer has nice features but reliability could be an issue
    Reviewed in Canada on January 23, 2019
    I purchased this printer and the bushings on the left upper rod failed after a few prints. Luckily, Amazon offered replacement and the new one is till working nicely. My fear is that I do not know for how long. Another small issue seems to be with leveling. I have to re-calibrate quite often.
    Otherwise the printer work quite nicely and it's packed with good features
    - assisted leveling
    - direct extruder (better than all my other rinters having Bowden extruders)
    - accepts 3rd party filament ( with the caveat that you must use 0.5 kg rolls or have an external holder for the filament (for 1 kg spools)

    If I didn't have concerns with reliability I would have given this 5 stars.
