[@cpace123]

the correct version is Orca slicer 2.0.0-rc

[@3rdpig]

Ok, then what's this?
github.com/SoftFever/OrcaSlicer/releases/tag/v2.1.0

[@neilon1982]

My test cube didn’t print either 😂

[@3rdpig]

Good to know, thanks!

[@dfv909]

​@3rdpig is that the big dice looking thing? I tried printing it twice and it failed at same point each time.

[@NoMercyFtw]

working fine isnt good enough that printer could be amazing if u install the klipper mod

[@3rdpig]

I've got a ironclad rule, "Upgrade only when there's a compelling reason". What's the "compelling reason" for me to upgrade to the mod?

[@NoMercyFtw]

@@3rdpig for one it eliminates the purging amount when changing filament and unlimited customization

[@oneanother1]

I mean by the looks of the way 3d printers are going, looks like the market is down. No one seems interested anymore, and they are either too expensive or very cheap because no one wants them. This machine needs to be 100 dollar cheaper, then I could see myself buying one. A lot of 3d printers are so cheap right now, they are all going down in price all the time.

[@3rdpig]

Where's your proof that the market for 3D printers is down and "no one wants them"? If you're going to make statements like that you should give some cites. Cause I gotta tell you, if the market were down and no one wanted or was interested, we wouldn't be seeing new models released like we are.

[@oneanother1]

@@3rdpig just from what I'm seeing in all corners of the 3d printing space. I could never have imagine a 400 3d printing selling last year for less than 100 bucks. Granted newer models come out making them less appealing, still. Even bambulab cut some their prices. CZcams 3d printer reviews viewership is low.
3d printing is my hobby, so I follow it closer than others. I've followed your 3d printing stuff from way back too. Idk, we'll see if it picks up again, doubt it.

[@cpace123]

I disagree. $299 is crazy cheap. It's fast, reliable(mine is). You can easily enclose the unit. It looks finished. It does not need to cloud to operate. The a1 mini also is a good buy, but it does have smaller bed. If you need multi color of course that would be the way to go. But I'm older and remember if I wanted a customer part made if could easily run into the thousands. 3d printers of almost any type today are amazing.

[@oneanother1]

@@cpace123 its not a bad price, its been that price for awhile now. I'm on a creality k1, which can also be found for 300 bucks. With the k1, you do get a little more value out of it. The open source klipper firmware is nice to have. I still prefer bed slingers, still can go fast, and most are cheap nowadays.

[@oneanother1]

@@cpace123 its not a bad price. The creality k1 can be found at similar price, a bit more value considering it has open source klipper firmware. I still prefer bed slingere, can go fast, and cheap nowadays.
