BIQU Hurakan Klipper 3D Printer

This printer is very underrated for what it is. Every time I need to print something I turn to the hurakan it’s very reliable and does what I ask of it. I have zero complaints and would recommend this for for anyone who wants to get into klipper. Biqu did an outstanding job with this machine.

La maquina esta muy bien, se monta muy facilmente e imprime con una calidad muy buena desde el minuto 0.

BIQU Hurakan DIY 3D Printer

After discussing with my friends who already own printers, I was talked out of the creality 3 and into the biqu hurakan.

I have very little 3d printing experience, but after assembly, and going through the setup document, I was able to get it working very quickly.

My only issue is the stock bed adhesion wasn't great, and I would have prints fail because they would come undone from the bed, but that probably had more to do with my basement being cold. I was able to fix this with painters tape.

My only other issue is the GitHub documentation is a little spotty as some reviewers said there were files in there that are not anymore. Hopefully will be resolved.

Otherwise amazing printer.

First bed slinger I own. I have been using a massive delta for years and have had awesome prints. Basically slap a file in it and hit print.

I bought the Hurakan to learn kipper, and that’s been fun. I also bought the 7” touch screen and the accelerometer. After installing the screen a few new menus were available that were not on mainsail or the original screen. The screw leveling, and Z offset are much better with a screen. The web cam worked right away, but I’m still figuring out how to use it as Timelapse.

Updating the files could have been explained a little better but found resources on the web. The latest updates are a much better improvement. Mine won’t save config after a pid tune but I can add them manually and save. I’ve set up pressure advance, and run the accelerations, however these values do not change from stock.

The hotend might be good for little Billy but not for an experienced user. Nothing fits it off the shelf. I’ve experimented with a creality all metal spider designing my own mounts. I had to move the touch sensor down to get it lower than the nozzle, but that’s not a perfectly working option yet. I wish you had a plug and play all metal solution. You have plenty of great hotends in your catalog that this should be an option already. I’m on the fence with your direct drive extruder hotends as I don’t want to have to design the cooling and touch portions of the install. A bimetal hotend will run fine on the Bowden setup, as the printer can’t run much faster than 180mm. The H2 light with at least some cooling and touch stl’s would be nice for TPU or other materials.

I’m not sure adding the additional Z motor is something I need before a hotend so I haven’t bought into that.

All in all I gave it a 4. This isn’t a first printer for non experienced users unless you make a more thorough manual defining the klipper procedures. I’ve been using prusaslicer and made my own profile off of a different printer, and have had excellent results. This didn’t come out of the box like that. I had to do a lot of reading to get this to a state that I can now only drag and drop prints and go. Could I suggest a macros file in the GitHub that could be added for more macros on the machine?.

Don’t get me wrong you make quality machines, and I’m waiting for a Manta setup to come back in stock to update my Delta. It’s running a Lerdge board now and has been flawless but I want the ability to take advantage of the Klipper options.

Also please add any updates or improvements to the software or manual before your long New Year. I know the restrictions and lockdowns have been hard for everyone and I wish everyone

新年快乐

Thank you
