The Alunar M508 DIY is a personal FDM 3D printer kit. It comes with all parts needed to build up the machine. You have to assemble it by yourself following the detailed instructions and the assembly videos available in the card included in the package. It has a robust structure and is composed of high-quality parts, including mold parts for Z-axis and three slide blocks for the extruder. The rigid construction makes the printer stable and accurate. The Aluna M508 grants superior quality, performance, and extreme affordability. It comes with a heated print bed and a pause-printing function, which enables multi-color printing on one item. Thanks to the auto-install and uninstall function, the filament can be easily replaced during printing to create multi-color objects. It is used by hobbyists and students to print a wide variety of models, including functional parts, toys, personal objects, and home decorations. Keep on reading the review to find out more.
One user tested the printer accuracy by creating some standard LEGO bricks. Printed with SBS using a 0.5mm nozzle at 0.25mm layer-height, they perfectly fit together. It took 21 minutes of printing for each brick.

The same user 3D printed a gear wheel for a meat grinder. He chose a 0.5mm nozzle, SBS plastic and a layer height of 0.2mm. It took 2 hours of printing and turned out really good and accurate even in the small details. The pic shows the old wheel on the left and the new, 3D printed one.

The Alunar M508 DIY is an FDM 3D printer that can print layers at 100 microns. The surface finish is not as smooth as you get with the more expensive printers, but is more than enough for prototyping and household use. The steady structure and the advanced filament management features allow creating multi-color parts with a decent level of accuracy and a good amount of details.

The Alunar M508 DIY has a standard 0.4 mm nozzle, which allows making elaborate printing with good quality and accuracy. It also gives you the best balance between speed and detail.
The print head runs on rods with linear bearings, making the design more simple, lightweight and effective, all characteristics that are desirable in a 3D printer.
Alunar M508 DIY 3D Printer prints with PLA, ABS, HIPS, Wood Polymer, PVA, PP, Luminescent, Nylon, and other materials.
The extruder comes with a fan for printing with PLA-type materials. By cooling the model down, it reduces warping, stringing and, generally, makes for higher quality prints.

To ensure high reproducibility, we recommend installing an enclosed print chamber. This way the print quality would not be affected by temperature fluctuations as a result of drafts and other factors.
The Alunar M508 DIY prints with 1.75 mm filament, providing you with a wide choice of materials.
The build area of 7.9 x 7.9 x 7.1 inches (200 x 200 x 180 mm) lets you print just about anything without slicing large models in parts.
The printer is fitted with an LCD screen with an integrated knob for easy operating the printer. It includes the pause-printing feature and allows managing the printing speed.
3D models can be printed both online from computer via USB, and offline via SD card.
The printer is compatible with both Repetier-Host, Printrun, and Cura slicing software. It works with 3D models in the most common formats (STL, OBJ, AMF, G-Code). The programs are available for Windows, macOS, Linux.
For some items, package content may change. In case of any questions, please get in touch.
Alunar M508 DIY is available in two colors: transparent and black. Its stylish look makes it ideal for education, industrial design, school research, and home use.
