Hi all,
Just saw this printer: https://www.3dprintersonlinestore.com/metal-frame-dual-head-3d-printer

It seems quite awesome, at least on paper…
What do you think about it?
Does anyone know this brand?

I would stay far away from it. The amount of bullshit they come up with is staggering, Probably a POS.

@Rien_Stouten ​ what is POS?

@Benjamin_Santalucia ​ “Piece Of Sh*t”. I’d agree with @Rien_Stouten ​ here, that does look awful.

Isn’t it just a Makerbot clone? Stick with the Flashforge Creator Pro. Similar money but with a known track record.

@David_McGuigan ​ you’re correct, it is, just with marlin as it’s firmware I think.

@David_McGuigan@Justin_Nesselrotte ​ is flashforge creator pro also able to print flex materials ? (Is it Bowden or direct drive?)

It’s direct drive, but I’m not a huge fan of anything makerbot related or a clone of it

Isn’t buying a clone of one of their open source printers (before they went evil) actually giving Makerbot a poke in the eye?

Not really. Plus they use s3g/x3g so you have to deal with that nonsense.
