3D PrintMaster Simulator Printer

TLDR: The game has potential with a little more time. But, If you're new and hoping to learn more about 3D printing, you won't get anything from this game. And if you have even a surface level understanding of 3D printing, you won't get anything from this game. I figured that I would at least give this game a shot, since despite the negative reviews there weren't any new in the last two years. I have two used 3D printers I bought for an absolute steal of a price I couldn't pass up, but haven't even touched since getting because it's a completely new hobby for me. I was hoping that this game would be more of an educational sim that I could learn a lot of the basics from. Now obviously, I wasn't expecting a 1:1 substitute for actual hands on experience, but this game doesn't even have a tutorial. None of the actual parts of the 3D printers you "assemble" have any sort of description, so unless you have an open web tab that you can search on in the background, you aren't going to actually learn anything. There's also no simulated software program (like Blender), It's just accepting orders that flood your "email" and hitting "print". Then, you basically just walk the item to one or two tables (depending on whether or not it needs painted, which you also just stand there and watch without doing anything) and dump the package on the floor until the customer spawns without warning in the doorway. To the game's credit, though, the mechanics themselves aren't bad (at least with keyboard and mouse)- especially for an Indie game. I think that all the pieces are there, and with a little more time put into development I could honestly see it being a money printing home run. A lot of people are curious about how 3D printing works, but would rather not sift through hours of YouTube trying to find a creator they like, all to spend more hours to binge their content. Instead, I think most would see spending $10 to dip their toe in the water and have a little fun along the way as a great option. Honestly, if I had the slightest idea how to do either, I would consider offering to take up the project and ask for the source code. All in all, I usually don't post reviews - and especially with only a half hour of playtime- but I just wanted to forewarn the next guy like me who's considering rolling the dice. I will still be keeping an eye out for a potential major update announcement, and wouldn't discount giving the game a second shot.

I bought this game(on sale thank god)because I have an interest in 3D printing and I love simulator games because they have the ability to teach you basic knowledge on things you have zero knowledge about. For example...I had absolutely no knowledge of cars but after playing Car Mechanic Simulator for hours...I can now look at a car and understand every part I see. This game basically just teaches you the basic parts of a 3D printer and somewhat how it goes together. It does not tell you how the software works. It doesn't show you how to actually program what you want to create into the software. It literally just brings up emails or orders...lets you accept them...then gives you an option to "create" which sends the customers orders to the printer and then it just...prints. Thats it. Accept order, hit create...grab the printed item, box it up and sell. Thats it. Thats the game. Nothing to be learned. Pointless. Boring. Stupid. Don't buy.

you know, this game is like 3d printing, but there is only one 3d printer model, thats it, you just print for custmors and thats it, and the money you have at the beginging is 1,500 dollars, which looks too much and is too much,and you can genraeate money from getting the used printers and getting the 35 dollar option. and you will get more then 1.2 times the money. or even get parts that they call new sometimes. but even it was supposed all parts be used price, not new. i own a k2 combo and a k1 se and, thats it, if i was the owner of the game would add more printers (if they can be real life ones i will do those), fix the glitch of 35 dollar 3d printer for getting 7 times the money, make it more relistic. more story, and parnter ships (if possible),and you can Make your own printer and do the same steps you want any part from real life, the game have bugs too like when you go in that corner it shows that the background is just a 360 wallpaper. and what is the flex and pla fimenat diffrence, is it just for fun the flex? you waste more money with flex, and get the same amount, AND when your fiment is done YOU CAN just sell it and get your money back. then you get a another one. when i got it it was 80% off, and after 6 hours, i got bored of it and feel like moding it, and you can just get a bar for that price, or a drink that you use it for a reson, like there is no reson from them to be lazy and make players make 180,000 dollars just from 35 dollar used 3d printers., and no its not sastiflying to watch it 3d print. i get more happy when i see a 3d printer at a store then this disappointment game, at this point just buy a k1 se which is 240 dollars in amazon which you can feel it printing and it includes free fiment, you can get fiment, that time your used 3d printers are used price. not triple the price in the game, i enjoyed and not enjoyed this game at the same time. im still going to play this game becuase why not, but there should be a better game or inprove this one.and you print that same model again. there is not alot of models, and the blueprints are useless. 5.8/10.

for now its realy bad but with some updates it could be good

Gra strasznie niedopracowana, bardzo toporne, irytujące sterowanie. Mocno nie polecam.

szczerze nie dopracowane chujowo sie obraca rzeczy i robisz to samo w kółko nuuda

I have not played fr very long but it is a good game so far. I wish it was easier to remove parts from the printer to replace them and the camera angles could be better especially when trying to put the printer onto the table. Also the tools should have a snap feature when you wanna put them down.
