Great machine

By: Jamie on 17 January 2019

Our application is primarily for product design R&D. After first having a smaller printer with many setup and maintenance headaches, we decided to upgrade to this printer for a number of reasons: 1. The large build volume is required to our some of our applications 2. The IDEX dual extruder system seemed as though it would be much more versatile for both cleaner dual extrusion jobs and for printing multiple items at once. 3. Minimal printing setup time. Calibration, setup for a print and maintenance is all considered and documented well in this product. The build and finish of this printer is very good. The hardware, firmware all seem to work just as many reviewers have stated. Calibration is super easy, the first print came out near perfect. Dual colour printing came out near perfect the first time also. The dedicated BCN3D Cura software has preset settings that need very little tweaking. The machine is quiet during print, the fans making most of the noise, but to me is fairly negligible. Some resonant noise comes from metal chassis and gantry when moving quickly. All open source! Great stuff.
