Pros:
250mm/s pring speed with 2500mm/s^2 acceleration
High print speed wouldn’t matter much without decent acceleration
PEI springsteel build plate
Direct drive
Integrated camera (this one I think is only good for monitoring/timelapses, the AI stuff is dumb)
ABL
Cons
$600, $750 MSRP
AI marketing stuff
We don’t actually know how well it prints, could have atrocious ringing. Being a bedslinger + not using something like klipper’s input shaper + printing that fast is a recipe for ringing/ghosting.
An established company using Kickstarter to find their product
Proprietary app for monitoring prints
I think it looks interesting but probably overpriced. On paper it seems decent but I think there is a lot of unnecessary marketing frills that could’ve been cut to make it more like $400-500 and a better value. I personally added ABL, PEI Springsteel, wifi monitoring (rpi), and a camera to my ender, so I think they are worthwhile upgrades. I just think they are maybe charging too much for the features.
I also just hate when companies that almost surely have the capital to make the product use Kickstarter, just rubs me the wrong way.
Good summary. Yah I was feeling a little bit over priced too. The $430 kickstarter price was nice when it was available.
I think there will be proprietary motion smoothing and stuff on this printer in order to achieve good enough results. Would be more encouraging to see after some more reviewers (Joel, Thomas, etc) get their hands on it
For $430 I would say that’s a pretty good deal, but this printer is def one I would wait for reviews on (being their first printer and all) and by that time it’s $750 lol.
What are you talking about? I made this thread to talk about it, that’s all
The specs are a bit above average if it can deliver on the printing speed. I do not shill anything except boardnamics.
Besides the speed it isn’t that special, bed leveling, blah blah is all normal stuff or easily moddable.
And before you say voron, that’s pricier lol
Because this seems more like an average printer.
