Flsun T1 Pro
- TechRadar (4.5/5): Reviewed the base T1. Scored 29 of 30 in print tests with 0.133 mm average dimensional error. Very loud cooling fan; assembly took about an hour. Source
- The Gadgeteer: Called it the fastest printer the reviewer had used; a vase took about 40 minutes. Zero clogs and zero manual leveling across dozens of prints. Loose display ribbon and menus with no back button. Source
