Longer 3D Printer Accessories
【Upgraded Dual Blower Kit】Equipped with the dual blower kit, the filament can be cooled quickly after extrusion so that the model is not prone to deformation or wire drawing, which will be better for printing.
【90% Pre-assembled with Stable Triangular Structure】The Upgraded Longer LK5 Pro 3d large printer is 90% Pre-assembled with build size of 300*300*400mm. Plus the reinforced design of diagonal rods form a stable triangular structure, which can effectively reduce vibration and achieve more stable printing.
【Silent and Open source Motherboard】Backed by TMC2208 ultra-silent driver, it demonstrates firm properties as well as reduces noise. With open-source firmware, you can try your fantastic ideas on LK5 Pro by changing the G code. BL touch installation is also provided (not included in the package).
【4.3inch Full Color Touch Screen】 The 3d printer with a 4.3inch full-color touch screen, you can say goodbye to the era of manual knobs and dot-matrix display. Optimized UI interface, easy operation, you can view real-time printing information on the screen. And also larger touch size than other printers of 2.8inch.
【More Functions Provided】The Upgraded LK5 Pro FDM 3D Printer uses lattice glass plate, which not only makes the model easier to disassemble but also makes the hotbed flatter, providing better printing affection. Recover Printing Function: Resume printing after power loss; filament detection sensor system, automatically suspends printing when the filament runs out to save time and filament.
Customers say
Customers like the size, noise level and ease of assembly of the 3D printer. For example, they mention that it offers a bigger print size than most units of its class, it’s quiet and that it comes with a silent board. That said, they appreciate the value. Opinions are mixed on quality, heating, and performance.

Perfect first 3D Printer for me
I have had my Longer LK5 Pro for over two months, and I have over a kilogram of filament and about 200 hours of print time on it. I love it. This is my first 3D printer, but I am impressed with the LK5 Proâs print quality, the large full color touchscreen, and how easy it was to set up. I consistently make parts with tolerances down to 1/10th of the millimeter. The machine is large! I could not find any dimensions of the unit, outside of the build volume, when I bought mine. Itâs outside dimensions are approximately 24â deep x 20â wide x 26.25â high without a spool of filament, so plan accordingly.In sort, I would recommend the LK5 Pro to anyone as a first printer, for someone looking for a larger build volume, or as a general workhorse production printer.The long story: This is not going to replace any six-figure commercial printers, and I know the Longer is an Ender clone. The quality of the machine and its prints are very good. The 300mm X 300mm X 400 mm build volume is worth the extra money. I watched dozens and dozens of review videos, and I had none of the small fit and finish issues the reviewers reported. (They must have had early production printers?) All of my wheels and bearings were tight from the factory, and I have only made small adjustments after many hours of printing. I took my time and spent an hour squaring the final assembly and tramming the print bed with a feeler gauge (not with paper). I used the included filament to print the âBenchyâ file included on the micro SD card the same night I opened the box. (Go ahead and order up a spool of filament because the sample is all that comes with the printer, and you will want to make a lot more stuff right away!) I made no adjustments and used the factory settings. The test print quality was impressive compared to most 3D printed things Iâve had experience with. Longer appears to be making improvements and upgrades as their team and users find them. The Maker community is also busy making upgraded parts to print, so I donât feel like Iâm alone with my printer choice.I find 3D Printing to be like any other hobby Iâve had. People are quick to join a âtribeâ and declare anything other than what they have to be junk and a wast of time and money. Like any piece of equipment, there is fine tuning and experimentation to get it dialed in. Every filament is a little different and you will need to tune the printer accordingly in your slicer software. (That is part of the fun and how you work toward being and expert in something.) No tech gadget is truly plug and play or set it and forget it. In the end, do your home work and get something you like so you can make something! My personal experience tells me the Longer LK5 Pro was a very good choice and has opened up a whole world of design and production to me.

How this compares to Creality CR-10 V2
I’ve very recently purchased a Creality CR-10 V2 prior to the LK5-Pro and I felt it would be beneficial to some to give my comparison feedback. I had to return the CR-10, but this review isn’t about that experience, and I’ll try not to let it influence it. This is not my first printer, I’ll mention that now. I wanted a another/larger printer.Box/Opening Thoughts:Both products are packaged very well, and look professional. Longer didn’t have the tools as secured but that made no difference. I’ll note that the CR-10 did weigh about 5lbs more, and I’ll come back to that.Assembly:Both printers are some what assembled. CR-10 was easier to assemble, and instructions were easier to follow, more accurate images, written better. I had to watch a video briefly for the LK5 to clear up some confusion on a piece. Neither were difficult to assemble. In the past I’ve assembled kit printers, and either are a dream compared to that.Machine Itself:Both machines have same/similar parts. Both have “silent” drivers, which I believe are the TMC2208 but don’t hold me to that. The glass beds appear exactly the same with different badging. They both have same hot end. The extruders are similar, I did think the Creality one seemed “beefer”, but only slightly. I had less trouble getting filament through the “run out” sensor on LK5, and like where it’s located better.The CR-10 has a stronger frame, which is where that extra weight comes in. It has a better looking hot end cover, and bigger fans. I’ll also note the CR-10 has a slightly bigger power supply, and therefore heats up faster. The CR-10 also has duel Z, some people think this is a big deal, myself it’s marginal.The LK5 Pro with it’s attached touch screen is very nice, . There isn’t a separate control unit taking up space and filled with fans that are very loud like the CR-10. This alone gives them some bonus points.Printing:Both printers printed pretty good right out of the box. There’s always some tinkering needed but in this case I’ll say it’s a draw between them. The LK5 does vibrate a lot more when it’s printing, but I’m sure I can dampen that with some TPU feet. Both printers connected to Octoprint with ease, and same with setting up a profile inside of Cura. Longer has profiles available.The Verdict:The LK5 Pro being over a $100 less than the CR-10 V2 makes it a clear winner. With the exception of the slightly stronger/heavier frame, dual Z, better looked hot end cover they are made of much of the same parts. I would recommend this to a friend.
