Less “RepRap”, more “consumer”, but still all-out Open Source - learn how well BQ’s next iteration of their Hephestos DIY printers stacks up!

What is that little robot you were printing, and the one at the end? Nevermind, see you answered that over on YouTube. For anyone else who’s curious, it’s BQ’s Zowi: http://bq.com/uk/zowi
@ThantiK it’s BQ’s (also Open-Source) Zowi: http://www.bq.com/uk/zowi
Here’s:
- the “keychain” model http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:1073051
- the printable version of the Zowi http://diwo.bq.com/en/zowi-cc-by-sa/

@Nathan_Walkner all hail the glorious 4K master race
Naw, seriously, this is just Youtube’s processing being a bit slow… again. Sometimes it renders out all the low resolutions first, sometimes, it just starts at all the higher resolutions. Either way, someone’s going to be unhappy until processing finishes.
I really wish they would sell the extruder separate, or even just the bondtech style extruder gears (for a low cost ideally). I’m currently looking at just buying the bondtech gears (for use in my own custom extruder) but it’s really expensive and shipping just adds to the pain.
Very nice video @Thomas_Sanladerer - really well paced and lots of great points about the machine and the direction BQ are heading. You can see that future versions (and updates) should resolve some of the minor issues and further build on the ease of assembly and use.
The only other thing I can think of worth mentioning is that the part cooling fan is not yet under PWM (variable) control, I hope that gets fixed soon.
Love the Zowi too
