Love your review, Jeremy! I bought it pre-sale and received a messsage that they found a technical issue that they need to solve and delivery has been pushed back. Did they reach out to you about this? If not, be aware that something might be not alright in your version!
The only technical issues I was told they were fixing involved making sure the metal rollers were more secure, and making sure the unit automatically turned off after the annealing mode was done.
Way to expensive (even on sale) for what you get. Do the settings save? Or do I have to run through them all everytime? Should have an app and wifi for that price.
Everyone is complaining about the price. If you want more than a plastic piece of garbage with fans, wiring and UI panels that can survive anything above 50-C and can actually reach the advertised temps, you gotta pay for it. Many have to ship with extra motors and UI panel ribbons because they can’t survive even 50-C.
@ It’s reported they are fixing the lid issue in production units. Uniform temp distribution is always going to be an issue as long as they stick to a one side heating unit and rely on fans to circulate the heat and not rotate filament. You can’t produce the high temps and dry the filaments correctly as long as they stay stuck with same old cheap plastic desktop design. They have to start thinking ‘oven’. But users paying $200-$600 for a printer will never pay the price.
More expensive than some might expect - yes. Catrastrophic? Wouldn't say so. As far as I know it's the only one in the consumer market that goes up to 110°C (others are way below), that can hold larger spools and can also be used for annealing and such due to it's space and construction. I guess the thing that makes it more expensive is a) the double insulation and b) that the electronics and everything has to withstand such higher temperatures. Even many food dehydrators don't go above 90°C. We shouldn't forget that this isn't really for the typical person that just prints PLA, PETG, TPU, ABS. This is for people who print often materials like Nylon and such. For such people the higher temperature can make a huge difference. But I would expect that it settles down at the 279 price point after some time. I highly doubt that it will really be at 349 for long.
I really like the first one that holds 4. The stuff I print only really needs that one.
Happy new year Jeremy, never knew you were a DOOM fan
Hey, Jeremy. Happy New Year.
Happy new year!

10:35 DOOM!

ummm....it is plastic and it warps under the high heat it produces (the internal display is not accurate), watch other reviews.,

The price is catostrophic...not sure if I'll buy it, especially since it only holds two rolls.
Yeah it's expensive. It'll hold two regular rolls, or a single 2kg or 3kg roll.

@Leif_YT: That’s exactly why I bought it, I really needed something that goes above 70.
