This thing just released sometime last week to little or zero fanfare and honestly looks like a Bambu killer to me. It’s priced under anything that Bambu offers in the class with way better specs.

    I had a Kobra Neo for like 4 years? And it drove me bonkers. It was somehow MORE jank than the random kit I got off aliexpress like a decade ago and I constantly had to retighten/tension everything and it somehow burned through three different nozzles.

    On the one hand? Enclosures and core xy solve like 90% of the problems 3d printers have by controlling environment and minimizing stress on the parts. On the other hand? You need quality parts and construction to begin with

    And if you are spending that much on a printer+multiple material system (that I will always argue home users don’t need and are just buying to subsidize it for print farms)? Check out the Qidi Q2. Even cheaper and it is telling that the vast majority of complaints about the Qidis are just “the exterior case is plastic and feels cheap”. Which is a death sentence for youtubers who can’t run a tool for a thousand hours during the one week review window but is also a hallmark of ACTUAL prosumer devices. Why use expensive aluminum for a part that has no functionality?
