My 4040Reno suddenly lost Z movement…

My 4040Reno suddenly lost Z movement control starting halfway the Y-axis (yes, halfway a large cutting.... ). After checking most components without success I sent an email message to support. This was answered within minutes by AI which asked me some (logical) questions that didn´t solve the problem.. After answering them by email again, George from support came online and suggested that the main cable from the controller might be broken. I provided the PN of my machine and received a new cable in 8 days! Again thank you so much for this support. I am pleasantly surprised that you are able to deliver this kind of support on what is probably an entry level machine and I think you may have found the right fit between AI and personal attention. Great stuff!!

I had a problem with the Imatic box

I had a problem with the Imatic box. The relays for 230v didn't switch on. I asked for help and got relatively quick response every time. I got a lot of help to make sure that my setup is right. But in the end it was a failure in the box. They send me a new one and everything worked fine 👍
Ofc it would be perfect if it worked first try but things like that can happen. The support was awesome during that!

Prompt customer service by actual humans

This was the first time I've had to contact Sainsmart customer service for an issue I was having. They responded promptly and resolved the issue to my satisfaction. I'm very pleased with their attitude toward customers, and I have full confidence that they stand behind the quality of what they sell. This is the kind of company I love.

Get ele goo carbon if you want your equipment

I still haven't received my order in total, nor have I received the refunds they promised. I can't use the equipment until I get the extras I ordered.

Ask for refund and got a small amount thats not been refunded. Except for the part that wouldn't ship due to supply issue. shipment hasn't been replaced

Ordered from another company 6- carbon 3d printers, 2 laser engravers and a cnc machine plus repla parts. And 10 rolls of there filament and got all the goo. On time, and complete.

Sainsmart im still awaiting. Sad day, I've bought alot of equipment from you. However not anymore.

SainSmart goes the extra mile!

I recently had an issue with a PEBA filament profile on Bambu Studio, and the support I received from SainSmart was exceptional. After I provided feedback regarding a compatibility issue, the tech team actually developed and launched a new profile specifically for the X1C to ensure everything worked perfectly. It is rare to find a company that listens so closely to customer feedback and goes the extra mile to provide a solution. SainSmart truly cares about their customers and the maker community. Highly recommended!

It took way to long to settle my issue. With no phone number to call or live chat support, all you can do is email. But the average email response is 24 hours (and 0 on the weekends).

It took two full weeks for my issue to be resolved, when I sent detailed descriptions from the beginning of my issue.

We sincerely apologize for the delay and for the inconvenience this experience has caused you. We understand how frustrating it can be when an issue takes longer than expected to resolve, especially when support is handled by email only.

CNC troubleshooting often requires step-by-step verification to accurately identify the root cause, but this does not change the fact that your time is valuable. Our technical support team has been actively following up on your case, and we truly appreciate the detailed information you provided, which helped us resolve the issue.

Your feedback is very important to us, and we will continue working to improve our response efficiency and support experience. Thank you for your patience and for giving us the opportunity to assist you.
