About the printer![]() The Mingda D2 ships almost fully assembled. ![]() The assembly starts with screwing together socket and top frame, to which reinforcements are then attached. Now the print head and the cover on the motor of the X-axis, as well as the filament holder have to be screwed on. ![]() The final step is to plug in the cables. With that, the assembly of the printer is done. ![]() The electronics is safely housed in the socket of the Minda - the wiring inside looks really tidy and no moving parts can touch the cables with the mains voltage. The fan of the power supply is temperature-controlled, but can be clearly heard when being fully on. With the newer stepper drivers on the mainboard of the Mingda, the drives of the axes work very quietly. ![]() The latest technology used in desktop printing is a plastic-coated metal plate that stick magnetically to the print bed. The big advantage is that even objects with a large base area can be easily removed from the build plate after printing. I usually ruined the plastic coatings on several of my printers more sooner than later - especially when using a scraper to remove prints from the build plate - there is no need for this tool with the D2. The maximum temperature of the pront bed is 100°C, that is reached after about 6 minutes. ![]() The Mingda D2 does not follow the trend towards more and more compact print heads, which I also like, as the components are more easily accessible whenever an error occurred during operation. A clogged nozzle or stuck filament is easier to clear with the parts being more easy accessible. I also like that the air flow for part cooling has a fairly large cross-section and the fan isn't attached tightly to the nozzle. ![]() The standard SD card slot on the Mingda can be easily reached on the front side. The color touchscreen of the D2 with a diagonal of 8.9cm reacts very well to all inputs and the printer menu is clearly structured, which makes the device very easy to operate. ![]() The Mingda D2 ships with a filament sensor and a function that continues printing after a power failure. Especially the filament sensor will save one or the other print job.
