Man I've been using this. It's set up. I have to say..I have a 2 spectrums that are like 180$ and they spray better. I don't think you are saving any cleaning by throwing out tips....i you're just giving someone money...I mean all I do is run a small amount of reducer or thinner thru my spectrum and rinse the cup.I never pick it up and it's clogged or not fanning right and I've sprayed a bunch over a couple years with it... Disposable cups make sense and I'll get those for my spectrums. For 300$ and then giving them money every time you spray..the juice isn't worth the squeeze. Sorry but not sorry. The fan is also not as consistent as my other guns.
Not to mention tips. I tried spraying them out to reuse and somehow they retain enough of what you're spraying to spray like garbage the next time. So you pay for lids..cups..and tips every time you spray. I spray biked and do not have alot of space and can't shoot 10 parts at once...im all set . I'll spray some reducer or thinner thru my spectrums and I'm good. Cleaning my gun was never an issue and I've never picked it up clogged.
