It won’t sell a dozen … very bad implementation…

I’m bored I might just go but another 3D printer

The z axis seems rather short on this printer, but is probably more than adequate for a set of dentures.  It may be interesting to create a chart of your printers (and any others you know the details of) where you work out the price divided by the build volume – so you end up with a cost/cubic mm for each printer.  Just a silly idea from a spreadsheet fan.   #HighFive

cool cool

I understand the price because of the huge manufacturing costs of Ball screws, Waterjet aluminium, and complicated (and custom!) hot end… but the conversion into AUD for me places it at $4600 bucks aud! That’s basically a cubicon single with the Hepa, mechanical levelling bed and actively heated, enclosed chamber. It feels to me that it’s a case of ‘shove high end parts’ into a ‘i3 style 3D printer’. Not convinced it was a great move, but just an objective view as I haven’t tried it out first hand.

Good lord it’s over 3k. That’s nearly half my tuition for college this semester. Would you be able to recommend a printer that has a decent build volume at a more affordable price?

The price tag makes this a horribly bad deal.
If your argument is that this printer is targeted for professionals, then there are a LOT of other better professional printers out there.

A lot of professionals strongly believe that price=performance. For 3D printers this correlation is especially weak amd many companies seem geared to exploit/capitalise this beleif. At least this is a good machine unlike some. ahem 3D systems. This one reminds me of the Leapfrog Xeed that costs about $8K.

Joel I want a 3D printer badly but I don’t have the money to get one

I’ve been using a granite floor tile from the local hardware depot, it has a polished finish and it works very well for the material I use, PLA, PETG, ABS/Carbon. The down side, it’s heavy and takes a long time to heat up. If you remember to heat the bed as soon as you turn the printer on it doesn’t add too much to the print time. The super nice property of the granite is that once the print cools, no matter the material it just lifts off, no scraping or prying, just pick the print up off the bed. I use a modified SparkLabs SparkCube XL, it’s a CoreXY design with 3 stepper motors to lift the bed so the weight isn’t an issue.

Yeah, they can target whomever they like, but bottom line, it’s overpriced.

How do i combat overhangs without using supports?

I need help! when I try to load my filament into my Monoprice Prusa Mendel i3 nothing happens, I have checked for clogs but the hot end doesn’t seem to be the problem. when I hold down the clip that allows the filament to enter the machine nothing happens. I haven’t been able to print since I removed the filament to untangle my filament but not since then.

It looks nice from a distance, it could be hospital grade ?

To me then it’s reviewed by the wrong person, it should of been reviewed by a person which market its intended for, what fine detailed items it would intended for……I would think

What! No #Hightfive to end with.

It shouldn’t have a moving bed for that price. It may be overbuilt but a moving bed is an engineering failure unless it’s used to cut costs.

Definitely not for the real consumer market, but good printer none the less. I find it a hard price point because it competes with Gmax and in my opinion the Gmax is far more value for the money. Interesting review item.

Ouch, that price. I could just about get a Taz 6 AND a Mini for that much.
