This thing just released sometime last week to little or zero fanfare and honestly looks like a Bambu killer to me. It’s priced under anything that Bambu offers in the class with way better specs.
After having had an Anycubic printer, I would be extremely hesitant to buy one based on the quality of the one I have.
Bambu has completely corrupted the space of YouTubers.
But these poopy filament switchers will be quickly surpassed by multiple toolhead printers. Too much waste.
I’m waiting to see what the Voron option will look like for the Bondtech INDX toolchanger before making a final decision, but I’m building a Voron 2.4R2 with the goal of converting it later on. Filament multiplexing is a nice option, but far more wasteful than I can stand
If you have more than one toolhead you’re not limited to just ramming different colors of the same material in there, either. You can run otherwise incompatible filaments that even require different temperatures from each other in the same print. Plus the ram-cut-and-purge brigade rarely work well with soft materials like TPU.
Multiple toolheads is the way to go if you actually want to get work done and not just slowly poop out multicolored low poly Pikachus, or whatever.
These are preorders. They don’t ship till April i believe. They send a voucher offer a couple weeks ago. I have 1 ordered. Fingers crossed they are decent.
