Nice to see a real honest review. I have a question: If I'm using this in a humid garage that's around 70% humidity, is it likely the unit will be constantly running because the room humidity is always so high? I guess putting some desiccant packs in there would help, but sometimes I may go a few days between prints and it sounds like this takes a lot of power to keep constantly running.
Thank you so much for the compliment and thank you for watching. It's a good question about whether or not this can hold up in a constant humid environment such as a garage. I know that when the AC was turned off in our lab over the weekend The classroom would definitely get pretty humid And there is a range of acceptable humidity so once the dryer box brings it down to let's say 30%. There is a bit of give a 15% or so in which the dryer box doesn't have to keep running. I think that wants it meets its mark it shuts off and even if the rest of the environment is pretty humid can hold it for a little while. Truth is it's a good test to perform and I think even a better test would be what the energy consumption truly is on running this dryer box. You gave me an excellent idea of basically just going through all the accessories and 3D printers and just come up with energy costs based on all the printers as well as its accessories such as a dryer box. Of course The cost depends on where you are. So I'll obviously include something like kilowatt hours but I'll definitely add it to my list of upcoming videos. Hopefully I'll be able to come back to you with better answers then such as whether this unit is truly an energy guzzler or not.
How much did you pay for the files
Hey thanks for watching. If you want to buy only this file. I believe you can find it on Etsy for $22 however I would definitely recommend checking their Patreon at $15 a month and you get last months models which I believe will include Wolverine.

what is the name of the project in Michael Baddeley's patron?
@@trafficman225 BB-R2
found it, it is called "BB-R2 (Baby R2) assembly"
I would say it looks more like a K1C, doesn't it?
I actually think it looks more like a bambu P1P . But end of the day I don't really mind if the style is copied. I think many printers that are CoreXY are going to end up looking very similar. When I'm really interested in is how they're going to differentiate themselves in the market. Anyway thanks for watching
I mostly use colour changes in the first 3 layers only, to embedd text and logos on the underside (for example on cases or panels, if the underside is the later top). For this the poo is aceptable (6 colour changes for the whole print). Actually I did this manually for years. Rumors are the ACE pro will be usable for other printers in the future. Some tests I made point into this direction. For example, if you started the dryer, you can turn off the Kobra 3 and the dryer still works. If you lose the active bowden, the filament pushes still. but if you stop it by hand, it stops pushing. The moment you let it go, it pushes again. Definitly the ACE feeds filament as needed by the extruder without the printer controlling the process. So pretty sure the printer just tells the ACE pro someling like "load filament x" "unload filament x" (and of course commands to set the dryer), but while the printer is printing, the ACE pro simply delivers as needed. Maybe some status information are also delivered. Quite a difference to the AMS, were the filament buffer is on the printer, so the printer tells the AMS if the feeder has to deliver filament or not every moment. So much less communication needed here. This is a bit like prusas MMU, were the MMU is just told by serial connection what to do. So all whats needed is to find out the type of physical interface used (classic serial, USB Can?) and then listen to the communication. A bit to hard for me, but I am sure someone more skilled will find out. It would be very nice to use the ACE pro on other printers. The amount of waste the colourchange produces is much more then on an Prusa mk4 with MMU3, esp if you use waste2infill or waste2object. Also the Prusa changes filament much faster. The reason is quite simple: Bambulabs and Kobra 3 are printers with high flow nozzle. You can not get a reliable nice filament tip on unload with high-flow nozzles. So cut&poo is needed. As you can not retract cut filament, pooing is mandatory. Prusa uses standard flow nozzles (and print slower). But this mean it can form the filament tip with ramping profiles, wich works very well with integrated nozzle-heatbreak combos (like the Nextruder Nozzle or a Revo). This is one of the main reasons I hope the ACE pro will be connectable to other printers soon(tm). It would be great on an SV08 converted to Revo hotend (The Next Layer showed the mod). For multicolour, a standard revo would allow for fast filament change without cut&poo. This would be much faster over all, even if the printing speed itself is lower due to lower volumetric flow. However, for single colour prints, simply use a high flow Revo nozzle. Imho all theese all-in-one solutions do a bad compromise. For filamentchangers do not do cut&poo (maybe exept for changing only in a few layers). Use a standard-flow hotend and ramping, plus waste2infill or waste2object. You can reduce the waste to a minimum, nearly as low as on an IDEX or toolchanger. Swap to high flow for single colour. Still, in single colour the backup filament mode would work, as the unloaded filament of an empty spool does not need a reloadable filament tip, as it is empty and wouldn´t be loaded again anyway...
Thanks so much for watching the video and for your detailed comment! I love your observations and insights. I agree with you completely - it would be amazing to see the ACE Pro being used with other 3D printers. Your points about the independent operation of the ACE Pro and the potential for reduced waste are spot on.When it comes to the physical connection, I'm pretty sure one could create an adapter that allows it to go from the back of the ACE Pro directly into a USB port, which tends to be the common interface of choice among 3D printers. The question is, do they want to keep it proprietary, or will they see more of a benefit in selling the ACE Pro independently and allowing people using other third-party printers to take full advantage of it. I also wonder whether or not they encrypt the commands to keep things proprietary so while there may not be a buffer on the printer I would only hope that the commands can be learned and understood if someone were to try to capture them. Assuming they are not encrypted it would be fantastic to see this adopted into popular slicers like Orca. Also, I completely agree with your thoughts on minimizing waste and improving efficiency. Innovations like these could truly elevate the 3D printing experience for many users.Anyway, excellent comment, love your feedback, and thanks again for watching!
@@CaptainCreativity Actually some KZreadr said he asked and Anycubic said they plan to open up the ACE for other printers. Imho this would make a lot of sense. Many people interesting in 3d printing already have a 3d printer (or two or about 32 if I look in my storage room...). So it is hard to sell new printers, competing not just with other companys but also all of the existing printers people already own. A company can make much more money by selling accessorys than by selling the printers itself. Not a very new concept - like 2d ink-jet printer manufactorers make their money with the ink, not with selling printers. Same now in the 3d market: Bambulab with their filament (with NFC-tag to automaticly been recogniced by the printer), now anycubic doing the same. An if you look at the project kits: Yes, selling the electrical parts to be combined with 3d prints is nice. But if you see you get a complete wireless mouse from china for much less money (typical about $2), the kit for the diy mouse produces definitly more revenue for bambulab. If you look at the prices, selling the ACE pro seperately makes a lot of sense. Both the Kobra 3 and the ACE pro cost each 300€ seperatly. As combo they cost 450€. People might even buy the combo if they realy only want an ACE pro - as for just 150€ more the printer is a real deal. Even if you already have more printers as you need. But a hobby do not have to be logical... Still for more logical thinking people a 300€ ACE would still make sense, if you compare it to Prusas MMU3. Anycubic might even designing an "adapter box" so you could connect the ACE to Prusas MMU interface connector. Definitly an market of it´s own. Also Anycubic can´t realy lock down hacking the ACE pro. It´s not realy a secret how the filament buffers work (have not dissassembled the ACE pro one, but Bambulabs): The buffer contains the slider and a spring. The position of the slider is detected (bambulab uses a magnet and a hall-effect sensor to do so, have not dissassembled the ACE yet). Depending of the position of the slider filament is pushed from the ACE into the tube - or not. Not a very complicated logic. Some drivers for the motors, heater output and thermistor input for the dryer part. Nothing you might not find on any 3d-printer controll board, even the oldest ones. So no sense to encrypt communication, if you simply could swap the pcb and change it to self written software.
looks so much fun for my kids, where to find the printing files?
@@basdelfos1507 You can get them from Mr baddeleys Patreon I have the link in the description. Also he has tons of other great files and projects as well. So definitely check it out. Thank you so much for watching
Came for the intro, stayed for the whole content. Cool project. Developing on the competition or racing component could get really engaging. Keep up the great work!
@@RitoriqPrinciples thank you so much for watching.
@@CaptainCreativity Thank you for your work! I know it takes a lot of effort. The educational aspect of the video series is awesome.
Fix it in Prusa with netfab if the file fails
WAIT. The Kobra 3 takes that much assembly? Also, the nozzle can't be changed when the printer is cold. That by itself convinced me to get an A1 mini. Your video helps me see I made the correct choice. I was printing within 20 minutes or so of simple setup.
I totally agree the Bambu A1 Mini was a much faster setup. However the key differences to note is the size and the inclusion of the dryer which added some more steps. There are definitely pros and cons. I own both and I put them to work equally. I typically do single color printing but I do like that the ACE Pro allows me to have 4 colors ready to go and acting as a dryer box. Loading filament for kids using the ACE Pro is a lot friendlier than the regular AMS but equal to the AMS lite. Anyway thanks for watching and I am so glad that the video was able to solidify your 3D printing purchase decision. All the best
A1 and A1 mini can only support 4 colors. P1s and x1 can handle 16
Excellent point, I always assumed Bambu treated all their AMS solutions the same across their 3D printers. That's definitely my oversight and so glad you brought that to my attention. I have a few corrections and notes to add to the video and I'll definitely include this. Thanks for watching and sharing.
the top 2 for the tool head are ment to be inserted first in to the head it's not a top tip.
Thanks for the correction I'm shortly going to be adjusting the video to add in some keynotes and tips that I've gone from others through the comments. Thank you for the contribution and definitely thank you for watching.
So will the E sun filiment work with ams?
@@genises200 it's a yes and no answer which depends on how you use it and what brand you buy. So the first thing you need to watch out for are the eSUN rolls which used cardboard. The cardboard creates a lot of friction and will definitely give you major Jams. Your best bet is to use the plastic spool versions of filament or to buy their refillable packs that come without the spools and then you can 3D print or purchase reusable plastic spools. Obviously any type of TPU except for the one that bambu Labs just released (a special TPU/AMS friendly version). And then the last thing to watch out for with eSUN PLA+ Is that you don't want to leave these inside the AMS without a considerable amount of dryer packets as they get extremely brittle if left in there for more than 2 days. Sometimes depending on the environment even one day. Just keep in mind for this project you don't need an AMS. None of the parts require multicolor filament printing on a specific part. Instead each STL file can be printed in one solid color. Anyway I hope this all helps and happy printing
Errr you need to slice it NOT AS A PHOTO…..wow you are supposed to know what you doing?😢 I suggest you do your video again…after you have read up on the slicer and retract your statements of time to print…..it’s a problem in chair not in printer moment 😂.
@@user-bi7fk2sf5b hey thanks for watching. I'm not sure if you watched the whole video but I actually discuss this in the conclusion that this was what the issue was. For some strange reason the App or the 3MF file defaulted to this setting. But definitely check out the end. I do in fact recognize this error and you are correct it was absolutely the guy in the chair that was the problem.
I did this same error on a print and it messed up as well. Don’t like how it’s automatically set for 3D photo for First time users. Easy fix though and my next normal print came out flawless
@@garyr19841 Glad I am not alone 😀And same for me ....the next print was 8 hours instead of a day and it came out great. I've actually been pretty happy with it's performance. I've been sticking with single color anyway due to waste and duration but I do like loading up 4 colors into the box and drying and having it ready to go.
Multi color macaroni 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 it's a bed slinger even the babuus A1and mini are bed slingers no mach to core xy inclosed printers and a 4 colors vs hand acrylic painting you see what a waste the AMS system is
@@3DATHENS-qi1tu I definitely love my Bambu P1P, it's a workhorse. I will say however that I believe Anycubic did create a better multi filament solution. Due to the active dryer , the ease of loading the prints and ability to clear breakages. The AMS from Bambu drives me nuts. The AMS lite is much better but not enclosure for the filament. In the end, I really like it for having multiple colors ready to go, and the backup filament. Totally agree that I won't be doing much multi color printing.
you sliced the little guy as a 3D photo, hence the crazy 1 day time lol. - brims are useful for purge tower. make sure your silicone sock isn't knocking on things, most of us have trimmed it back. good luck.
ah, you talk about this right at the end :D
@@daveparker862 yup, I don't know what this defaulted to that setting. I don't recall if that was due to the 3mf file or the application defaults to that setting. I'm so used to other slicers being defaulted .20mm standard and totally missed it at first.
Let's hope it's cheap and can run OpenNept4une with Klipperscreen
nice👍
Awesome 🔥
Thanks for watching 😊
What's the frame made out of? Can't tell if its sheet metal or plastic. Its looks well built.
Oh it's metal. Definitely not plastic. There is no doubt that this thing is built really well. That's one thing everybody agrees on, how well this is built.
Looks like the Qidi Q1 Pro minus the heat chamber
This looks cool! I currently own a Neptune 3 plus and Max. How does the Centauri compare to the plus in terms of printing size?
Hey Manny, the Neptune Plus is 320x320x400 where the Centauri is 256x256x256 , so the Neptune Plus as well as the Max are both bigger in build size. Thanks for watching
its the size of the neptune 3&4 &pro
So a Bambu Clone?
From the appearance of it I would say yes however I'm just hoping that they realize they have to do more than just clone in order to compete. So I'm thinking there's something else that will be a differentiator. At least that's my hope. Maybe the speed will be better or maybe they're going to give it at a much better price than the P1P/P1S. Anyway as soon as I know more I will let everybody know, stay tuned and thanks for watching
@@CaptainCreativity amazing detail Capt, the i want to confirm if the Centauri lack of auxiliary fan, is it true?
I'm happy it's a Bambu clone. This is going to force Bambu to up their game. I want a Bambu that can print Neptune 4 Max sizes.
@@nicolaslavigne6462 I have heard people say there were rumors of a bigger unit around fall or so
@@nicolaslavigne6462Me Too 🙏😀
Good video
Thank you!!!!
one thing you dint zoom is the poop ! hole on the back what we have is a multycolor filament system comeing i thing ?
@@3DATHENS-qi1tu so from I heard they are not currently focusing on multi color filament. @TheRealSamPrentice interviewed Elegoo about this and while it's something they say they are working on , it's not going to be something on the Centauri. So definitely no combo option. Wherher they make a multi filament system down the road that's compatible, only time will tell. But as soon as I know I'll be sure to communicate it.
@@CaptainCreativity i think all new printers will come with EMS next year its the thing now and what i hope we will see is kits! i know creality will have kits for the k1 and ander v3s anycubic all ready is in kobra3 so elegoo i dont think will stay back they allare klipper based but we will see :)
Oh no, the "Welcome to the show..." intro is missing. But it's cool that you are trying to get into the usability details. ;-)
@@RitoriqPrinciples I was wondering if anybody was going to notice that intro wasn't in there. The truth was that it was such a last minute catch and I totally missed it in the early days of the conference that I quickly grabbed it and I totally forgot to do an intro for it so there wasn't really a place in the format to insert that typical intro that I use. 😁
@@CaptainCreativity No worries. I will be sure to check any upcoming content. ;-)
Everything I’ve seen said it was Orca slicer.
@@jordankiser8435 so it's possible that they said it could work with work with Orca Slicer , but when I was at the show and I asked the Elegoo Rep they said it was Cura. I will definitely be on the lookout for this because I too would prefer that would work with Orca over Cura.
@@CaptainCreativity im so happy they ar ekeeping cura alive honestly it prints faster for me out of cura i got 8 en3m and cura is a life saver as orca is almost always 10-20% long idky
Love the intro and your style. Reminds me of some shows from my childhood. Hope your channel grows and you capitalize on the same style.
Hey thank you so much for the great compliment. Thank you for watching and I plan to bring more content like this so stayed tuned 😀
I want it but without that multi filament.
I would get it with it without but for me the only reason I would want it is so that I can do larger prints and when the first roll runs out it can continue onto the second roll , if it doesn't have this feature I would be bummed.
Gonna wait at least till December before I even consider getting it. I wanna wait until they've worked out any kinks in the first batches.
@@thuglaza4728 That's definitely not a bad idea. If you have the power to resist the FOMO I totally agree 😀
@@CaptainCreativity Trust me I do. After having read so many Creality support horror stories waiting seems like an investment in itself 🤣
This printer sux, I have one and the issues are everlasting
@@SeijuroHiko962 what are the issues that you're running into? I have two of them and certainly they're not as good as a bambu but considering the build volume I've been able to get pretty successful prints from it. What are you experiencing?
I think you put the eyes upside down
Good catch, I realized that only afterwards but it seemed to look fine so I went along with it. One thing I will tell you about the model is that you could adjust the pieces in different ways to change Pikachu's expression. I think the way in the picture was to illustrate more of a looking up appearance and instead I got a creepy staring right at you appearance. But look you definitely have the opportunity to change the parts up they still work. Anyway nice catch
Bump for you. Love your hilariously cute intro. Sub'd my dude
Thank you so much, and thanks for the sub
For future reference, this isn't a review; it's a spec sheet readout.
@@NWGR well I definitely respect your opinion I'm not so sure I totally agree with that. I definitely was able to review and get close up shots and ask questions of the staff and then communicate in the video. There's no doubt I definitely relay the specs but I review it as well in terms of seeing how it's printing, seeing what the noise level is, looking to see at how to speed is and the ease of using it. And then I provided my review on it in terms of whether or not this is good for a classroom setting. I'm sorry you felt the way you did
@@CaptainCreativity It's not a huge deal, but when I see "review" in a title, I expect a few weeks of usage at least; that way the reviewer has time to use the item, get to know it, become familiar with the pros and cons, etc.
@@NWGR yeah I totally get that That's fair. Just so you know my process when I do these types of videos that come from a trade show usually day one I just come to play around with it, inspect it, ask questions etc. then I usually come back on day two and day three with more questions and more follow-up. So granted it's not as great as the ones that I do when I have the printer for several weeks I will say that I definitely try my best to give some sort of semi review and especially when it comes to reviewing things for classroom setting or objective. Thank you for the feedback and I'm going to be more selective on the title language
@@CaptainCreativity It's all good, the more content we have on 3d printers, the better, and the more fierce competition becomes between manufacturers, the better for us as well. I'm impressed with the kobra 3 ACE, the printer seems basic; nothing spectacular or enough to pull me away from the bambu ecosystem. That said, I am excited to see how the creality K2 turns out, I just don't have faith in creality; they rush products to market with "release with bugs/flaws, fix later" mentality. We'll see though. And kudos to getting out to one of the shows. That's a goal of my own eventually.
I'm new to your channel. I have ordered my Kobra 3 yesterday, cant wait. So you are a teacher too? I am a substitute teacher and I will host a student 3d workshop for 4th graders (experimenting, working with TinkerCAD) for the first time. I proposed the Flashforge Adventurer 5m (the Pro being my first printer, and I love that machine) for this workshop to school leadership. How did you start incorporating students into your hobby? Best wishes from Germany :)
That's an excellent grade to start and TinkerCad is the optimal choice. As per your question, I would say that while my interest and usage of 3D printers predated teaching , my usage and tinkering have increased side by side since teaching. Obviously I continue to create independent of STEM teaching such as building static and functional droids. However I find that many of my hobby projects can often be translated into something that could be integrated into the STEM curriculum. For example building a droid such as a Star Wars inspired version not only makes it fun by blending pop culture with STEM education but in its process the students get to learn about servos and gears and the integration of things like Arduino which touches upon coding etc. So there's definitely been a lot of synergy between projects that I do personally and projects that I'll do with the kids in the stem labs/classes. Anyway thank you so much for joining and visiting my channel, and always a pleasure to meet a fellow educator. Happy Printing !
The multicolor takes long time complete, does the speed of the machine help with that much? In other reviews, seems like it does product a lot of waste as well. Its still too early to tell if this will be a worthy !avhine. They have still yet to finish the software side of things. And haven't had much of their orders fulfilled. I'm a kobra2 pro user myself, just want anycubic to better support their printers if I'm going to buy the kobra3. Only time will tell.
The problem is not the speed because this new machines are fast as hell but the time to change filament purge it then make the Towers is what takes to long also now imagine if it had many colors then it will be swapping constantly which take too long just to make a single line.
I have mixed feelings about multicolor 3D printing in general. Speed and waste are significant issues for me, often preventing me from using these devices in my projects. However, the ACE, AMS, or CFS (depending on the brand) do offer several benefits.Sometimes my projects require a lot of filament, or I simply don't want to lose production time changing a roll of filament. These multicolor filament solutions are fantastic for allowing your 3D printer to automatically switch to a backup roll of the same color.Specifically with the ACE from Anycubic, I appreciate that it's an active dryer. I've been using drying packets with the AMS, but my filament still gets brittle over time. I like that the ACE actively dries the filament.These units are also convenient because they allow me to load multiple colors and have them ready to go at any time, especially in a classroom setting. So, there are many benefits to these devices, even if you're not printing in multiple colors. While I'm not a fan of sacrificing time and filament, if I were printing something relatively small and needed a lot of them, I would consider using multiple colors because it reduces waste. This is because when you print the same object in quantity the amount of waste being purged is the same regardless if it's 1 or 10 items on the bed.
I heard that Anycubic may add the color accessories for their older 3d printers. Do you know if this is true?
@@jeromeweaver809 From what I heard I thought that that was Creality CFS I am not aware that they're doing it for any cubic but I could have it mixed up. Either way I'll reach out to some contacts I made at the Rapid TCT event who work for the company and get back to you on this.
legendary intro, earned a subscriber
@@tozzemak8597 Thank you !
I just want to know if and when I can add a CFS to my K1 Max.
@@Zamugustar That's actually a really good question. I'll reach out to some people I know at Creality and see what they say. I think the concern would be that when it retracts the filament and feeds in a new one there is a risk of it snagging or bumping up along the edge of the runout sensor. I know that on the K1 Max at least in the earlier editions that run out sensor was always kept on the inside of the chassis and it actually banked hard left which often caused filament to get snagged. The K1C on the other hand doesn't have this issue as it's on the outside of the casing. I think what made it a lot easier for filament change swaps and for the sensor run out is that on the K2 the runout sensor is built right into the extruder. So it makes it a lot easier for those filament changes from the CFS. In any case excellent question and I'm going to find out
When will I be able to add the CFS system to my ender 3 v3 ke ?
I"m looking for a large build area printer. Hopefully Creality won't make false claims with this like they did with the K1C and the "all metal extruder" that was actually 95%+ all plastic (which makes me question if they actually tested it and found it can print clog free for 1,000 hours - hmmm...). Also hope they tested it thoroughly so customers don't end up being beta testers for this. BTW also heard that Bambu is said to come out with a larger build area printer and or a multi-print head printer like the Prusa XL but at a lower price point. Suppose to hear something on that by end of the year. Will see how it goes.
@@theVariedLife it's interesting you say that I actually did overhear this being told by a bambu employee in a conversation to a well known KZreadr . Meantime if you're okay with having a little bit of FOMO it's always best to kind of hang back a little just so that the initial released units go through its paces in which I'm sure they're going to be issues out of the gate as many printers have. Granted sometimes you have a printer that knocks it out of the park from day one but if you want to play it safe it might be worth holding back for about a month or so.

@@sweenbeen nah your good. i still consider Ratrig very much in the same category as voron, vzbot, k3. especially compared to these consumer printers.
I was looking forward to hearing more about this printer but that price is kind of fucked ngl
Paid $1600 for an x1c combo that had a build volume of 256 by 256 lol seems pretty good to me
@@CatchiestWorm12 So while the 1499 Is the MSRP I feel like they'll always be a deal or something that brings it down 20 to 30% , it looks like it's out of stock now but earlier this morning it was around $1,200. Maybe they'll give a huge discount for July 4th
@@CaptainCreativity $1200 is still way too much for me especially for a first and (hopefully) only printer, I'm looking at the Sovol SV08 which has the 4 main features I was looking for at way cheaper. I understand why that printer is so much cheaper than this one but I can't ignore the difference.
@@CatchiestWorm12I totally hear you. My hope is that eventually it will come down to somewhere like $750 to $850 which is what they were willing to let it go for during the 50% promotion. Keep in mind we are getting the inclusion in this bundle of the CFS so it would be interesting what they're going to price it at once they remove the CFS for those who don't want it. I am interested in learning more about some of the differences such as the multiple cameras that Creality uses for layer detection etc and also whether or not the new sovol also sports the closed loop servo motors and have active heating in the chamber. I'm going to definitely try to see if I could get my hands on that Sovol and try to do a comparison. I'm also just interested in having large format CoreXY printers that print beautifully at an affordable price. In any case stay tuned as I'll do my best to try to get these printers and then do more of a breakdown and comparison. However like I mentioned my real hope is that prices will come down or there will be plenty of deals and opportunities to get the combo at much for digestible pricing. All good points that you've raised so definitely keep them coming
"Incandescent packets" ;D
I constantly screwed up I know I know I know , 😭 lol
Sovol SV08 with enclosure is still cheaper faster and better, even if you have to change some components it's still cheaper, I'm sick of companies pricing stuff just to see if they can get more money out of certain impatient people with more disposable income
I think we're going to see better pricing down the road. I feel that the pricing will eventually be $750 or less for just the K2. Thank you for throwing out the sovol sv08 , I am definitely going to look into it and see if I could try to get my hands on one and do an unboxing and review on this as well. You make a lot of great points here. I see that the delivery is happening right now in July. If the auto calibration is all there along with the input shaping and nozzle wipes This absolutely can prove a huge contender. Obviously it doesn't have the multicolor filament solution like the CFS but not everybody needs it. I will definitely The price is quite attractive
@@CaptainCreativity oh of course they always drop cuz they know people will pay the insane pricing just to get it first, once they get the most money out of people possible then the sales will start to slow down then the price will drop, I can't wait till get my SV08 I should get it this month sometime...

Anything that's large and corexy and using all those updated features like an auto calibration and input shaping etc are huge interests of mine. In other words biggest and fastest, mix that with affordability And I'm all over it :)
@@CaptainCreativity hell yeah and if it performs well I might get a couple more
That 50% off initial run is pretty indicative of how much this should of cost from the get go, i bet they still made money at that price when considering R&D and production costs. It seems like they're trying to throw a curve ball at consumers because they're trying to compete with Bambu. Its the "If they can ship an X1C at these prices, so can we" mentality. Sadly i dont see it go down to those initial discount levels until a k3 launches.
Could have used some new/useful information here, but just happy to see the printer i ordered. 3:45 wish you had let us in on your secret! but ill give ya some interaction points anyway :)
Lol, very true I should have added that in there. So to be honest it's going to be a combination of different things. First off in our advanced robotics classes we build full size Astromech droids. The build size is perfect for these larger pieces. Additionally I definitely plan to print Life size Rancor head like the one Uncle Jesse did on the Elegoo Orangestorm. So I think peace is like the tongue impossibly some other large items will go on here. But just having the power to print at this size along with all the corexy features and capabilities that we expect is just amazing.
@@CaptainCreativity nice, a lot of people in this hobby teach robotics :) sounds like a fun gig!
bambu lab pave the way
And prusa paved the way for Bambu… chill out dude everyone uses everyone else’s ideas in this space. It’s not a competition, just have fun and print cool shit. Don’t dunk on other people because they own something different.
@@modourouslodourous9527 absolutely it's very unlikely today when things just get birthed out of a total void. However some companies definitely take bigger spins on things. For example it is very difficult apparently to get these CoreXY machines to work correctly at larger sizes so there is still innovation there This isn't just copying something else but taking something that's out there and then making it better.
Значит, k2 будет провальным. У creality все новое - недоделанное, что они исправляют в улучшенной модели.
I gotta say, having shelled out like 220 for an Ender 3 v3 SE and messing with that for weeks, and then building this thing, it's night and day on construction and build quality, it's like 3x the printer, 3x the size, and 3x the build quality for 2x the price. I like it. way nicer than the ender, so I'm pleased, I thought at that price-point it would just be a scaled up version, but not at all.
I have always been impressed with the simplicity when it came to the bedslingers from Anycubic. I will however tell you that I had a great deal of difficulty with the Anycubic Neo. However the whole point was they were selling it for such a low price because they were making the customer handle more of the assembly. Overall for the size that you're getting at this price point which I think today is somewhere around $450 it's just a great value for the size. Also the fact that it does have that calibration and the input shaping is pretty amazing.
Built mine up using this how-to, it was great! Ended up having a problem with a nozzle error that ended up being a cable that isn't in the instructions or the video, just a loose wire. So disappointed when it didn't work, so happy when I saw the wire.
So glad the video helped I have two of them in the lab and they have been amazing for printing large pieces. I think we're about a year or two away until we will start seeing printers of this size leveraging a CoreXY design. I really would like to start seeing 600 mm/s on printer is exceeding 400x400x400. Stay tuned I'm going to be reviewing and unboxing the Comgrow T500 which claims to have the high speed, input shaping but at 500x500x500
You have helped me choose what 3d printer i will get thank you so much 😊
It makes me so happy to hear this. Thank you so much for watching
