great tool, price is okay but would expect gcode adjustment for bambulab printers. XY skew can be corrected with M1005 I0.00225 in start gcode. It is supposed to stick but I do not know yet. Angle in radians and flipped sign is necessary. If calilantern gives you pisitive xy skew correction must be positve in radians. Also would love to put in the actual shrinkage applied. Just to avoid quick calculation errors.
Some years back, I already bought the cauliflower mk1 and was delighted to get more dimensional accuracy to my prints. After a quite substantial mishap with my printer I had to rebuild it partly and it was now the perfect time to upgrade to calilantern. Now, my printer is even more precise.
Usage is very easy.
Thank you very much for this super useful tool!
This is actually a really good soldering iron. I didn’t expect to want a soldering iron with any “smarts”, but the smarts in this are useful.
The temperature monitor is realtime, the writing follows the orientation of the iron also in realtime; the interface is a bit difficult to discover, but there’s not much discovery needed to actually use it.
Literally plug and play. Love it!
And the tip it came with is good enough to solder onto large potentiometer casings. Honestly really good all around.
Does require you to bring your own power adapter, that’s actually powerful enough for it.
A well made & useful tool, and something that helps me trim edges on prints where I've used support on print projects. Plus helping Stefan (CNC Kitchen) in the process.
Super fast service and delivery. Quick response to questions.
The packaging of the bits is really clear. The way the accents work and show up as well as the tolerances of the 3d print designs so there is enough resistance for the lids to clip but not be obstructive is spot on.
Well done. The STL and calculator save me lots of time calibrating and checking my printer.
Great product that is easy to use and makes it easy to make the changes to your slicer to get the most accurate prints.
Great service and great price from Vector 3D, the soldering iron seems to be good no complaints yet but I'm a little worried about how long it'll last. I've brought others around this price point from Toolstation which have all failed.
Works great with the appropriate power!
Nice item, good price and quick delivery. Excellent service thank you!
I suspect that the Califlower is going to work fine. I've yet to print it, but I assume it will deliver as expected.
My review is punitive because I was frustrated during the purchase process, and then immediately after purchase, felt like I'd been ripped off. I'm hopeful that it wasn't intended to be, but after purchasing what I knew to be a digital file, I then downloaded the file only to discover that no, the file I downloaded was just instruction on how to download the file that I purchased. That was dumb, especially when you consider that you could have just linked to the section on the site where I could download the file instead.
Oh, wait! I received an email. Perhaps that has my file - let me go check that first. Nope. Just a link to the page to download the file that tells me how to visit a different page to download the file I purchased. Why not just include the file in the email? If you really want to gate the file, then the email could simply contain the link to the file to be downloaded. Considering the instructions consist exclusively of "go here and then click," you've now wasted my time twice in not just linking me to where I eventually need to click.
But then it says "Pick the thing you want to download" and oh cool there is another thing to download. Looking at it, it appears to contain all the same functionality as the thing I just purchased, only it *also* includes Z-axis calibrations. That sounds like a 100% upgrade, so sure, I'll download that one instead. Alas, it is a separate purchase. Curiously priced at the amount that I just paid because I added a tip on the previous purchase.
Would be glad to swap out the purchase, or refund Califlower to get Calilantern, but there's nowhere that seems to make this possible. Oi.
Definitely the best soldering iron I've every used
Uses solid best industry practices for calibration/measuring. It's the best I've found so far, and I've gone through a LOT!
Great tool! Don’t know why I hadn’t invested in one earlier. Saw the recommendation for this on in a video by Alexander Chapelle on YouTube.
Fantastic calibration tool. Printed it once and applied the recommended changes and ran it again. The new results were great and I’m really impressed with the improvement in the dimensional accuracy of my prints.
Provided a legitimate pinecil v2, confirmed with pine64 authenticity checker.
Fast delivery and reasonable price
Great piece of kit, easy to use…had to go online to download the manual…the size of the print in the included paperwork is not for old eyes
Very nice quick shipping
