I am definitely considering a K1C just to use the CFS with. After using my SOVOL I will find it hard to use only a single color from now on. The K2 is prob too expensive for me right now
I wonder that....I'm waiting to find out. I feel like naturally it should, right? If nothing else a second hand (if you find it worth the risk) should definitely fall
3D scanners make a lot of sense if you're trying to generate game assets. I truly don't understand them for printing enthusiasts. Once you remove the color, the underlying mesh always loose like a chunky peanut butter version of whatever the object was.
I've never used one personally. The idea that I could scan something and it make a reliable mesh sounds amazing. But still there are hurdles (what about underneath the object if it is sitting on a table, what if the mesh looks like trash, how detailed can the scan really be, etc.)
I use an Einstar scanner myself, and I use it if I need to modify and/or add-on to any sort of item with a lot and/or unique geometry that would take too long to model in CAD from scratch. Simple stuff you can just go to down with calipers and probably get the job done faster. Very unique items like certain auto body parts or items where you are trying to mesh a 3d model with another item that has a lot of organic lines? These are situations where 3d scanning is fantastic.
You certainly didn’t see yet a good scan from a 3D scanner and not from a phone app. I ordered a Creality Raptor. It will go well with my existing ones. Einscan-SP, Revopoint mini and Einstar. I use them for reverse engineering or for reference for mod parts.
My Ender 3 was my first Printer and was awesome. I purchased 4 other Creality printers after the Ender and were all disasters. I lost all faith in Creality as a company. I ended up going the Bambu route with their first "go fund me" X1C and have never looked back. Now I have 4 Bambu printers that just work with great software and support. Ender has always done the clone game and now they are trying to copy Bambu but selling at near identical price. Why would I buy from Creality when I can buy the brand I trust for marginally more? Tinkering is fine for awhile, but after wasting spool after spool of filament and hours and hours of time the more expensive printer becomes the economical choice
You lost all credibility when you said Bambu has "great support"...They are known for having some of the worse product/customer support in the business. And just a bout EVERY printer made since last year "just work right" without any tweaking. The ONLY thing Bambu has (had) that other companies didnt was the AMS system and now come June/July there will be a ton of those from different companies and all those new ones are improvements on Bambu's AMS...You might want to dump your Bambu's now while you still can because they are being Antiquated in a few months time....I already dumped mine
I have never used a bambu, but if that is your experience and you've had good times then for sure I wouldn't move over. That's a bummer about Creality. I've gotten lucky maybe, but only had two of their machines, and not expensive ones.
@@anthonylong5870 Are you talking about the new Prusa? Not reviewed well and have used one. Not ready for prime time. Creality has non existent suppot. Any issue I have ever had with Bambu has been remedied quickly and at no cost to me. 4 Bambu printers working flawlessly. I have had Creality, Prusa, Anycubic, Elegoo, and Bambu. 15 printers in all. Nothing even comes close to speed, quality and reliability of my Bambu. My first Ender 3 was a great printer and is still in use. My Anycubic Predator Delta is still in use but requires a good deal of work. All the rest I dumped due to wasted filament and time. I can only speak to my own experience but I'm sticking will Bambu till something better comes along. Would like to build my own Voron. That would be fun.
@@OverExtrudedPhysicist Unfortunately for me I jumped in on some of Creality's untested printers. Specifically, the CR-10 S pro and the CR10 smart and the CR-6 smart. I still use my original Ender 3 and it can be a workhorse for the right job. For critical prints I leave it to Bambu
@OverExtrudedPhysicist im not saying its not a lot of money, it is still entirely out of my budget. Im just saying that the next option is 3000 and they go up from there, so its cheap relative to its competition os what i mean
im looking forward to using the CFS with my K1C

@@OverExtrudedPhysicist The CFS is going to be available on the standard 3 V3 as well. and possibly the Ke According to the early reports
@@OverExtrudedPhysicist definitely
Do y'all think the K1C will drop in price, even slightly, since the new ender will get 600mms too?
I wonder that....I'm waiting to find out. I feel like naturally it should, right? If nothing else a second hand (if you find it worth the risk) should definitely fall
Playing catch up with Bambu labs
With the CFS I totally agree. It is a super similar system...but the most sincere form of flattery is imitation!
Surpassing actually

did you try to retrofit something to cars? Try to get all surfaces and features from dashboard...

1500 is insanely cheap compared to similar products
I guess for a hobbyist like myself it's still a big ole chunk of change though. It's more than all 3 of my printers combined lol
