TESTING METHODOLOGY

    Just like with the Sidewinder X2 and other 3D printers I recorded 3 things first of which is total print time at 100% speed (for this I’ll be using 2 different sized models – downloaded from Cults3D / member Eastman - rendered in Cura v5.7 with a dynamic quality of 0.16mm, 20% infill density and cubic infill pattern). Second is noise levels and so once again I’ll be using my ExTech HD600 decibel meter placed roughly 30cm away to record the maximum noise coming from the 3D printer while printing. Finally with the help of an UPS and two power meters I decided to also record not only the lowest and highest but also the average instant power consumption of the 3D printer in my hands.

Once again, the Genius Pro might not be one of the fastest 3D printers out there, but it does a very good job in regards to print detail as you can see from the above pictures (PLA silk red filament).
