Bambu has done a lot of things right. They took the best from the 3D printing community and got serious in developing a consumer unit. I have a Voron 2.4 and I like it because I love to tinker on the machine BUT I do need a reliable machine, day in day out to print stuff. So... and for this price? Well, adios to 3/4 of the other manufacturers out there who didn't take this industry seriously. This will definitely expand the printing community.
I'm reminded of Angus' words about 3D printing, in that he believes that "plug and play" is the key to this hobby going mainstream. Tinkering, adjusting, calibrating, and scraping failed prints off the bed more often than happily removing completed prints is what is keeping this hobby from "breaking through." All the Kickstarter warnings are valid, but from what I've seen of this machine (and Anker's), the "plug and play" simplicity of them are really huge steps in the right direction.
As someone who backed this campaign, I would love to see how it handles a multi-material print of something like the Dead Man's Tale rifle from Destiny 2, or a complicated mech at a large-ish scale like something from Gundam, Armored Core, or Code Geass.
I hope you are right and get a printer.
@Ronin Paterson Thingy-ma-bob collecting is a completely valid use of 3d printing. Let's not gate-keep. This hobby is already niche enough without walling off large segments of users.
@Ronin Paterson It could also be making parts for other hobbies. Some of us like 3d printing, but not necessarily for the sake of 3d printing.
@Ronin Paterson Well I love 3D Printing as a technology but I don't see my printers as toys but as tools. I love 3D printing because it has given me the opportunity of bringing my ideas and designs to live without the need of going to a machine shop. I don't hate fixing them or upgrading them if needed but I'd rather have them ready to print. That's the reason I use Prusa printers and not Chinese printers. Reliability is very important to me, don't have time to be playing with wires and code to get the printer to do its job properly.
@Ronin Paterson for me, the 'hobby' isn't 3D printing itself, the 'hobby' is using the 3D printer as a tool to print what I need.
I use 3D printing to prototype structural parts or parts I use in other things I'm building. That's where my enjoyment comes from, not from having to tweak printer settings, or monitor and correct filament changes to get a complete print.
I want to design parts and have the printer print them reliably and without any hassle.
I appreciate the honest perspective. Thank you. I would like to see an Eiffel Tower that maximizes the Z Height to see what happens with the speed and accuracy. I did back the KickStarter.
+1 for Eiffel Tower! Haven't seen a lot of super fine prints, with tricky stringing... Please test its capability!
@@karoo_bushman6880 right? Lots of printers can do fast. Lots of printers can do decent quality on challenging prints, but sloooow. Not many printers can do fast & challenging prints.
As you know, I have one and also backed the Kickstarter. I think it's gonna be a game changer in our world! Manufacturers are going to have to start changing and Maybe we will stop seeing the same old printer over and over. Maybe it will make them take the time to develop something new, like Bambu Lab did!
I agree with you. I see Anker Maker is similar (I backed that one) where the quality, capability, and color control are truly at a new level. Last year, the AnyCubic Vyper got a lot of attention through setup, calibration, and control. This year, it seems like Babu and Anker Maker are driving us to a new level. What will next year bring?
@@matthewadavid you're giving the Anker maker a little too much credit there
@@matthewadavid Probably made the right choice there. Anker is a known entity for sure.
@@agliacci I don't know. Even without it's "AI" which might never come, it had a lot of improvements that other more budget friendly manus have struggled to hit. Even simple things like USB cables for connections, and the print speed was impressive. They also have $1.1 billion in net worth, so support and future enhancements are more than likely down the road. If bambu folds in 6 months, good luck fixing any of their proprietary pieces.
@@agliacci It's a well designed & polished 3d printer in comparison to the bed slinger clones that are churned out on a daily basis these days. I would say that Anker have always weighed more towards marketing/branding than engineering in most of their products. Bambu lab looks to be much more innovative from a design & engineering standpoint and the end result is pretty nice indeed. The X1 is definitely "disruptive" in this space with it's feature set and value. This, to me, is pretty much like the Apple Mac's first appearance in the home computer scene. Interesting times ahead!
JOEL WAS YELLING! I appreciate both your honesty and enthusiasm. I'm new to everything 3D Printing, and this is the first Kickstarter launch for a 3D Printer I have experienced (10,000 tech ones in the past, of course).
So should he change his name from Joel Telling to Joel Yelling? 🤔
You know, some people are told "This is a high risk investment" and hear it as a challenge.
Total thanks!! for speaking so clearly about the good, the not so good, and the risks. This is another way to express the respect you have for your passion, your work and your audience.
I think we need to see how the color purging compares to other machines. Efficiency of this method is compared to purge blocks. Also that purge poop looks like it could be used as packing peanuts!
These are the types of video that build your integrity and trust in the community while producing very good and entertaining content! Thank you!
Thank you for the rant Joel. I think more people need to hear it! I am glad you showed the tech but talked about review units vs actual ones being shipped. Thank you for referencing the issues regarding pre-order vs KS as well. Great video sir!
Glad to see this machine covering new ground!
I'd love to see Joel test how far we can reduce the purge waste while maintaining decent color separation. It's great that the filament purged is configurable. But if the default values are already already close to optimal, that would be important to know. Otherwise some may have unreasonable expectations about how much they can reduce that purge waste.
And lastly, can waste be reduced further through purge-to-model techniques where a second model is used as a purge block?
Just an idea. Maybe so heavy down cooling at the end of each filament switch?
Thank you, I am happy to wait to buy it the normal way even if a bit more expensive
I think this is the same route I'm going. Sure $250 discount sounds great. But I'd like to see the mass produced units in the wild first. And what the small sample pool that have them now could've missed. But I've got to stop visiting that KS page to see how many reward spots are left lol.
Love the honesty and KS warnings! All the other videos I’ve seen of this printer are like omg this is amazing back it no matter what!
Yeah cause Bambu bought them by giving them a free machine. Those people are just their b*tches
I take my hat off for Sr., what a great review, honest and dynamic, haven’t check the status 6 months after but I’m in love with this machine but if not available that gives me a tremendous guide to choose another one accordingly, I wish your able to keep your good work forever.
I used to back a lot of Kickstarter projects (well over 100 in all). These days, I back one or two a year and not the expensive ones. Here are the ways things can turn out:
1. You can lose your money and nothing gets delivered. This is real. It has happened to me multiple times. Sometimes the person running the project will contact their backers and apologize for failing. Other times they just go silent and you never hear from them again.
2. You get a product that is clearly a beta test product and not really ready for prime time.
3. You get a product that is OK, but the company eventually fails or changes business focus. All vendor support ends.
4. The Kickstarter project is a complete success and you receive a good product. The company goes on the build version 2 of the product and sell it to consumers at large. You are stuck with version 1 while everyone else has the new and improved version.
In most instances, it is better to wait for the product to hit the regular consumer market.
Well done.
So glad Joel continues to carry the 3D Printing Torch of Interest, others have fallen off, Joel still shows the day 1 passion 🤙👍
Rememeber folks, The Kodama Obsidian had all its ducks in a row...untill it didn't and people lost their money. Michaell Husmann ran away with over a million bucks. Kickstarter, Never again.
HEY I'm from the future. This printer is amazing! It was worth backing.
Awesome video. Can you Print something at the highest quality at normal printer speed and compare it to your best printer. Example being Prusa vs X1?
I’m super curious. I haven’t seen anyone print a model that required supports yet. How does it do with manual supports and tree supports?
thank you for an honest comment on this. I came from another site that felt they were selling the product.
On one hand, wow! I want one. On the other hand, now I really have my work cut out for me. Truly impressive.
Joel, I pledged but keep considering pulling out. I have a very similar view on Kickstarter as what you presented. As to what I'd like to know more about, mixed material would be great? Using PETG as PLA supports (or visa versa), using TPU as the outer skin of a PETG model (since PETG and TPU should bond). These are the things that interest me. I am a bit torn between this and a Prusa XL
Mixing TPU and PETG sounds really interesting. I'd be interested in seeing that too.
TPU is not rated to feed in the AMS, it is recommended to only feed tpu by bypassing the ams and loading it on the back of the machine.
@@Xploit66 Oh, that's disappointing and I hadn't noticed that. Good catch.
@@GarethLewin It might still take it as an input if you can have a roll on the back and the ams at the same time, but that I don't know.
@@Xploit66 But it can't retract it the same way the AMS does, so I wonder how mmu functions will work in that case.
I backed it, EB carbon combo #159
I know it can be fast, but I would love to see what the max quality could be if you take your time with the slicer. And vasemode would be nice, too!
Kindly let us give us an update: Did you get your kit? What are you thoughts on this printer/company?
@@goostador Yeah I got it and I love it! Ordered quite a lot of filaments and accessories too, everything is fine 😄
I want to point out that KickStarter has actually updated how it handles it's "fundraisers". You actually AREN'T charged until the kickstarter meets the funding goal and it's actually ended. So, if they cancel then you're still fine because they shouldn't have charged you at all. Just wanted to make sure people were aware of this incase they were nervous about backing the KickStarter for the printer! :P
Thank you for the video. In future videos like this on new printers I would like to a close up on parts to see if anything is being done for the filament ringing or layer lines. Are they diminishing or no change?
Would be nice to see every type of filament testedon this.ABS ,TPU included.
That lidar could be interesting if they open up the software access.. analysis of dimensions, etc?
I think the lidar should be closed to businesses and enterprise but open to the community. I think this is the one unique feature that might give them the major advancement over others, and we do no want other companies entering the space with it and ruining the community with more locking in function. The AI features can not be pattern sadly.
how ever bamboo said they may open it up to the community but not to enterprise and businesses. so that way we do not get someone like apple, lg Samsung bring out there own versions that locks us in to there own filaments, software and app. like the current consumer inkjet print industry. look at what HP did with there cartridges.
These guys at Bambu Lab are doing great things for home consumer 3d printing. This at the end of the day is a core xy with klipper implementation out of the box with a couple proprietary features. Most people don't know eletrotechnolochy and what a raspberry pi is, so they only hear about these things. Now give me a cut down x1, not enclosed, not closed sourced and more affordable in times of oncoming inflation. I dunno, if they pull this off they can come to the budget market and get them off i3 clones for another 5 years. Thanks Joel, for such a big channel your still straightforward which I appreciate!
Gotta say, this was the best video I've seen from you so (so far)!
Joel thanks for the honest review. I've experienced Kickstarters that have varied from "Above and beyond fulfillment" to "Burned to a crisp" so I share your skeptical view of the platform. Now the Bambu looks extremely promising, the best comparison I can come up with (and one I've been waiting for a release) is the Prusa XL, these machines have a similar core design of multi filament printing with vastly different implementation of said design. Difference in MSRP price points of both machines is huge, with the Bambu being way lower. The possible expandability of the Bambu up to 12 color/material (or was it 16, I forgot already), puts the Prusa XL max of 5 to shame. Not going to ramble on to much, if the Bambu produces what they claim, the other big names in 3D printers are going to have to step up their game plans.
I, personally, would like to see it's capabilities in printing carbon fiber based filaments and flexible filaments such as the Filaflex line from Recreus (they make specialized tpu filaments that are solvent/fuel resistant). Especially since it's a proprietary hotend system.
How is the calibration cube? Are the parts printed on it going to fit properly with the rest of my stuff, or will I have to spend time calibrating it so everything works?
Finally! Was waiting for this video!
I'd love to see TPU prints with this (I understand already that you can't use the AMS for this material)!
Great review! Thank you!
This printer is going to change the game!
I believe you are right on that! They are still dialing in the software and apps. But it's been awesome since I have had it the past couple weeks!
Is there a way that instead of yeeting filament out the back, you can have the printer use that purge material in the infill to minimize waste?
How does it hold up to solvable filaments? or mixing different filament types, its single nozzle right so all 4 filaments have to have the same temp i guess?
Ill definitely be keeping an eye on this printer.
I'm kind of curious about how detailed figures would look with this printer. Such as anime figures etc. Also I'm not sure if creating model kits would be possible with this
Pre-ordered mine a couple days ago 😁
Hey Joel,
Very interesting take on the matter. I have a question for you: can you check and confirm the maximum volumetric flow rate of the Carbon X1? Speed and acceleration are incredible but I'm also interested to know the VFR.
Thank you.
Thanks for the review! What is the minimal Z-resolution can be achieved? Can it utilize 0.1mm nozzles? What about ruby and diamond-tip nozzles?
I know the happy path with this printer will be to use the Bambu slicer, but…. I’m interested to see how difficult it is to slice with PrusaSlicer, and prepend the Gcode with all the Bambu Labs special sauce (LiDAR, flow analysis , etc.) at the beginning.
does the bamboo X1 use the traditional bowden tube coupling? Specifically on the extruder motor side?
How good are the prints in fiber carbon? I've seen this machine on other channels and it is impressive.
Great, balanced video Joel. Is it correct that the machine only prints PLA on a cold bed?
Great overview and for hitting some important points. A fair mount of text below (as I've become infamous for)
I have had small chats with people, but have also written probably more in comments on livestreams about this printer more then any other. A fast printer is ideal. A high quality/accurate printer is a necessity. A feature rich printer is ideal. A user friendly printer is often overlooked (though I know I've been saying that for years to friends, and I know I'm not the only one who's said that). And a well priced for what it can do printer is a cherry on top.
This printer meets all of those points. So is it the perfect Sunday or a fake? "Um, people print with it" yes, but auto makers build concept cars. Game devs produce game demos. Software engineers produce PoC (proof of concepts). They all work. They all can be used by people. Some even do demonstrative production runs in the thousands...
But a key thing I've said many times now, and I doubt I'm the first (I'll settle for a tie :P), but have otherwise only heard from Joe (Breaks n' Makes) and Joel: we need to see what the actual shipping machines are like first before holding them up as a beacon. For all we know, they'll burn through their equity and KS money before they can ship to everyone... or it will be used up before they can do anything else, leaving it a one trick pony. If they pull it off, they'll set a new bar for what is expected of printers. I expect Prusa and a couple others will be able to match them. But many will not (and one person who I interact with in the know has already said there's a handful of printer manufacturers nervous with this machine).
I like many things they've done and want them and others to go further. I do software and have increasingly grown to believing that many in the community have tried to hardware solution their way out of printer progression and resolving issues. Just look at how many assumed the front decorative bezel of the Ender 7 was important. More 2020s! More cross bars! Thicker steel! Linear rails! Heatsinks! You know... maybe what the printer needs is just better software. Better: maybe people need to stop looking down upon the relative few who work on the firmware, slicers, etc. for 3D printers.
I wrote a ton in a comment on the VOD of Breaks n' Makes unboxing of the X1 and don't want to make one as big. I like where they're going, want to see things go further, agree with a friend who said "we need to move past standardized parts to build a printer and look at purpose built ones" though I feel there needs to be a certain amount of standardization (it's kinda why humanity become as industrious as it is: standardized interchangeable parts) but not on everything. Not everything needs to be a 2020 extrusion. They use smooth rods instead of linear rails (I have not found a single person say "would be better with linear rails" this whole time... even though that's said for so many other printers).
If the deliver, it will be on my list of printers to mention when someone is looking for recommendations. But their are plenty of other outcomes (deliver but never improve, deliver but it exists as the sole machine they make, get purchased by some company and then buried and never seen again, not deliver in one or more areas, etc.)
But if anything: make this feature set a floor. It has filament runnout, flex bed, and ABL so it meets my requirements for a modern printer... but what will be next if we start from here instead of another clone or single-slightly-improved feature on a known printer? Also, please stop using Kickstarter for pre-orders, I know they don't seem to care but a much larger proportion of their site is used as it should, so an outlier of the site is ignored by them.
I'm glad you got one to play with. I'm experiencing bad customer service from Bambu Lab so far. After 9 days of numerous emails and an opened service ticket I still get a run around "scripted" responses from Bambu Lab about my returned package since I wasn't home to sign for it. All I need to know was if they could redeliver so I can plan my works accordingly but can't seem to get an answer to it. I think they outsourced their customer service to a remote third parties so all I got were scripted answers to a simple question. Bad customer experience with Bambu Lab so far.
im yelling because this is important! love it. got my sub. tnx for the video im looking for my first 3d printer
I would like to know how the first layer looks as I print alot of cases and the first layer is important in looks as that is the top on the object. I would also like to know if you could print pla on the other side of the build plate as using a glue stick usually leaves a residue on the print and I would prefer to have the print bed heated for pla.
Would love to see how the Lion model from years ago would look being printed on something so fast. 🤔🤔🤔
I have a 3D printer that in relatively unheard of, (based on my research). I was wondering if for a 3D printer review you could go over the UP mini 2 by Tiertime.
Great video!! Is it safe to use this machine with sensitive / private Stl files? Or will the gcode be sent to their head office, etc?
4:16 how did you get the dual/tri color rolls of filament to print through the slicer on the Bambu printer?
i purchased this bad boy the other day :) iam super hyped! also purchased the textured PEI plate for the printer since it won't come in the box.
My Ecubmaker Toy DIY also poops out purge filament for multi-material printing, except it comes out of the right side. I do believe this method produces less waste than a purge tower, thus saving filament and money.
Looks great, I want one. Let me know when they're on Amazon, I refuse to do business on Kickstart
It sounds promising.
How well does it print soft TPU, like TPU 85A.
At what max speed you can run it without compromising quality?
been waiting on your review of this, but couldn't miss out on the early bird
How does this machine compare to a voron? In particular the voron 2.4. Are you ever planning to get a voron?
Hi Joel. Can you do some flexible prints as well.🙏🏻. Curious to see how many types of TPU filament it can handle? Thanks
how does it handle ninjaflex, nylon, etc...I would like to see if it can do the harder stuff that takes a lot of modifications to get to on some of the more widespread machines. also, blending materials, like a PLA/PETG/PC in one object type of thing.
I know the AWS doesn't support TPU, are there any workarounds to do multi material prints including TPU?
I'm very interested but not ready for a new printer myself yet, everything about this is a Yes from me and the right direction and will look for competitors or next versions in future when I'm ready to move up.
Could the purge be used as infill instead?
Really appreciate the way you explained the Kickstarter and investment background. You're the only one that really highlighted some aspects of this launch that were important to discuss. I'm curious if this thing can handle... Slow printing... I use polypropylene, which is notorious for warping when printing large parts. It's also a pain when printing fast. The best I can do on an ender 3 s1 pro with my custom enclosure set to 35C is about 35mm/s with 250mm/s2 acceleration and a tiny tiny amount of coasting in cura to reduce stringing. No one CZcams's about polypropylene, but it's a fantastic material. Wondering if you could try it out.
the print volume is heated, and it seems you are able to change how fast it prints in the slicer
I would love to see not just multi PLA but PLA/TPU/PVA/Nylon or w/e combo you can push it to do. That is where the value will be found for me.
I agree. I would like to see high temp and exotic filaments printed on it.
I’m honestly not sure that would be possible, at least not without really crappy results for any machine. The purge sequence doesn’t actually know where one filament starts and the other ends, so I think nailing the temp transition would be really tough. It’s worth a shot though
@@vaughnkhouri1364 I think its actually rather simple to do. There are filaments called purge filaments that flow at really wide temperature ranges. If you use that in between switches, it wont really matter, though it will take up a whole slot.
@@BeefIngot That’s interesting! I didn’t know of such a thing. Would be cool to give it a tru
I haven't seen any lithophanes printed yet. You think you could try one of those?
I love this honest opinion concerning Kickstarters!!
Can I print a flexible hinge into a model using something like Ninjaflex using the AMS unit? I’m thinking of making replaceable components for a weekly Pill container.
I decided to buy one of the top models. I’m excited to see it if it ends up delivering.
Love your take Joel. I only justified my pledge as it’s work. If they don’t deliver? I can make a video about it. If they do? Oh boyyyyyy👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻
Absolutely sold on this machine. I'm buying one as soon as I can. I've thoroughly customized my Ender 3 Pro but it will never be at this level. I have a small business selling 3d printed items so this printer will absolutely make my life a lot easier.
Building the machine is fun too 😉
This printer really does get me excited. As someone that has tried out two enders printers 3 v2 and 5 plus (both of which I returned after many struggles more than likely on me), this looks like my dream printer. The main goal I have for printing is cosplay so I hope the build space can really be what I need for printing helmets in as few pieces as possible. While features such as multiple materials and colors seem nice it also really doesn't seem like a big reason for me to buy the printer. While I won't pledge for it I will 100% be keeping and saving for after the full release happens.
Great review, and great rant about Kickstarter! I did back the X1 Carbon Combo, first it does seem that Bambu Labs does have their ducks in a row. Plus there is no 3D Printer like this for the prosumer market for this price, with these features. Oh! I think we are tied for printed parts for the project. However, my parts were done on 3 printers over two days in comparison.
Hey Joel.... As part of the name of the printer that you got there says carbon, I would love to see a carbon infused nylon and a PC print. We did support them in the Kickstarter and would love to hear your take on those use cases. Keep up the good work.
Considering most of the engineers and such are project leads from DJI I would have a high confidence in all maters of this printer.
Can you 3d print something requiring PVA support to see how clean it interfaces with PLA? please.
*_I believe the Bambu Lab 3D printer will be the Tesla of 3D printers. It will get a bunch of 3D makers to up their game quickly or get left behind._*
I hope so, fdm printers are stagnating
lol aim higher than Tesla
@@zergslayer69 *Agree. They only do small incremental improvements here or there. Usually, nothing to write home about.*
So does a chart exist that helps give a comparison as to how long it takes to print certain objects as say a Creality or Ultimaker? I am asking cause I see people show a Benchy being printed but what is the time difference?
Thank you for your time.
I have some interest on this new printer and almost bought it at kickstarter, but I decided to wait a bit and wait for the second generation of bambulab, thinking that some problems will occur with this new one yet... Your review was really good, I'm now waiting also for the new prusa xl reviews to decide if im going ahead with prusa or wait for the next too...
Order some gst3d filament - It's prone to clogging, horribly (like dirt pebbles horrible)... but it's some of the cheaper filament people buy in bulk. I wanna know how the nozzle holds up to clogs and how the process goes to change it. As well...how prone is it to clogging with bad filament, will you be making a custom nozzle in a short period of time, or never.
Why in the world would you possibly buy filament you know is junk?
I personally buy cheap filament and have never ran into a clog with it. You need to find a better filament supplier.
I would love a follow up on this before the KS ends. Have you had any issues? Thanks!
Is it big enough to do a mando helmet in one print. I started out on a ender 3 v2 and I want to go up to the next level. I thought about buying an expansion kit for the ender. But having up to 4 different colors to variations would be cool also. This looks cool and I would consider spending the cash on this type of printer for the potential. I may wait till after the promotion to see how it fly's.
Hey Joel. I've been really interested in this machine and have been straddling the line on buying one at pledge stage. One of the things I'm not seeing a lot about is the part cooling ability of the machine. Sure it seems SUPER quick but at what point does its speed out perform its part cooling ability?
I'd love to see some prints that really push it's part cooling potential and probably by extension it's stringing
I mean it’s printing PLA at 250mm/s.. I don’t think it gets much better than that as far as the amount of cooling required.
The only real information they have present for the cooling is that it has an 11W cooling fan, which is quite a bit compared to most cooling fans which are in the 1 to 3 watt range.
@@colinmetzger6755 There is cooling on the hotend and also a blade cooler on the side blowing air across the bed.
can you print a 3 gallon grow pot? what is the max width and height you can print with this printer? i was considering buying one for my first time ever learning 3d printing. lmk and thanks!
I build FPV drones both for work and for fun. So I would need to know how well will it do printing in TPU. Can it print TPU quickly or improve the quality of a TPU print?
I got my x1 with ams combo. Can’t wait
Hey Joel! Awesome review. I was just wondering if you had a chance to use any of the other nozzle sizes available with the machine and if so, did you have any issues? Specifically I am most interested in the 0.2mm nozzle, but am curious about all of the other nozzle sizes as well
Unfortunately all I’ve had access to is the hardened 0.4mm nozzle
I know they said no tpu in the ams but could you try to print PA-CF and tpu with the ams because apparently you can't print PA-CF with the ams either and I would like to see what happen
Hi, Can you try it with PVA supports? Thanks!
Watching! Can't wait to hear your opinion buddy. 🙏
Joel. How about weigh out the amount of filament that was spit out for the purge material so we would know how much the default is for that frog. Thanks
I love your videos and always come back to your videos when i'm thinking about purchasing a new printer and thats what i'm doing now, however i just wanted to put this out there since i'm here that according to Bambu Lab's blog all kickstarter orders have been shipped and they've started to ship their pre-orders from their website :D
Woohoo!!!!
i'd like to see some high-temp prints, since the Carbon variant is supposed to be capable
A reality based review. Thank you.
Absolute excellent rant! So important for people to understand. I was a bit suspicious about the quality of the machine versus the relative low cost, wouldn't be the first product that sells well-ish, but for not enough that it can survive. On the other hand, which wasn't very clear since the beginning to me, they seem a Chinese company. So, that might give it some more credit to success (but that's only based on the fact they can produce cheaper and ship way too cheap as well and still survive). It would be the first quality printer I've ever seen originating from there though. I'm waiting for a year until I decide, then we have the Prusa XL, a Voron kit and a X1-carbon to compare. :)
Really sweet printers… but I refuse to do anything with kick starter. I decided to build a Voron 2.4 r2.
I’m not counting out the x1… but I’ll have to wait till it’s released to consider it
