those ar big nema 17s stepper motors on the xy ! nice and the extruder simple nice ! klipper nice ! screen nice ! overall quality frame nice ! love it.... drivers can be replaced nice !
@@MrBaskins2010 I was afraid the length would shy people away. I need to timestamp it. I do agree that it forced a wave in the industry, but they're still assholes.
I don't believe that Bambu Lab inspired the creators of this printer. I have their previous version (Ghost 6), and they just did all the people wanted and changed by themselves (including me) in Ghost 6. An exception is the extruder - I don't know why they left the old version without even minor updates.
@@igorchyk09 probably marketing reasons or a switch of OEM that is building the machine for them. Let's face it, none of these printer companies build their own stuff, it's mostly 3rd party design teams, OEMs and the like. Makerbase used to produce their own printers and I think they pretty much just private label most of the ones on the market now. Even sovol is just dipping into the creality parts bin for most of their stuff.
@@petermarkk1408 core machines tend to be a bit noisier than slingers because they're accelerating at 4 times the speed and able to rapid twice as fast
I am interested, but I definitely wont be a early buyer. I think waiting to see what this company develops would be the best mode. We need more +300 cubed printers of the style with not crazy cost.
They informed me that a larger one is coming. Flying bear has been around for a long time; Infimech is just their American subsidiary. I think if a 300 machine comes out, it'll more than likely be a rebranded reborn 3
For something that small, it's moot. I ran the 8 hour print with the lid up. Heat rises. I even actually ran a 6 hour print last night fully enclosed with zero issues.
I'm going to order one of these along with the extra stuff that's available all at one time. It would be nice if the hotend was upgradable. Thanks. Ive been also thinking of the QIDI Q1.
Unless there's some sort of catastrophic failure, I don't see there being any major issues. The screens are tjc, the boards are makerbase, the steppers kinda look. Like they were pulled from the elegoo parts bin, the belts and pulleys are available on Amazon and I'm sure the sleeve bearings are the same ones the ender 3v3ke uses Plus, they have a ton of parts on their website
@@TheFeralEngineer wait, then how can you state in your thumbnail that its a "$309 bambu killer" when you don't have a Bambu Labs printer to compare? Talk about misleading your audience......
@@Dark-xz1im I put a question mark at the end and didn't compare it to the Bambu in the least bit. I was testing out a click-baity title for shits and giggles. Figured everyone else is doing it, so why not?
I've been running 6-8 hour prints through it with zero issues. I just updated the firmware and found the z offset screen for mid-print adjustments. It's a really good plug and play machine. I think my only issue right now is finding the setting I used in prusa to fix the sagging on my cubes
@@TNX255 you can hear it moving around as you would any high speed printer, but it's not offensive. I'll try and get some numbers for you. I have a dedicated print room so I never really hear my machines
@@TheFeralEngineer Many of us have small apartments and run our printers in an area where we spend lots of time otherwise as well, and oh too many a cheap printer manufacturer completely ignores any attention to quietness of their products.
@@TNX255 This machine is pretty quiet when it sits idle, but you definitely hear it on high speed moves. Printing is pretty quiet, it's just the 500mm/sec rapid movements that make a whizzing sound. The fans aren't overly obnoxious and with the cover on, it's still pretty quiet
@@maus9777 it's already begun, actually. I found a GitHub project last night that people are working on. Frankly, if they release the source code, I'd have no qualms about dumping straight klipper onto it and running it from the ktouch full time.
@@derekfarealz it's basically running the makerbase armbian Linux that's on the makerbase mkspi GitHub page with some special settings to utilize the tjc HMI. Being that it's a makerbase skipr, I'm assuming the proper source will be released soon
For single filament printing at a decent price, I'll take it. I hate bambu labs as a company, so I'd rather mess with an ender 3 constantly than print with one of their machines
@@JMan-m6q you're right. If you like sharing all of your information with a scummy Chinese company, you really can't beat a Bambu. But 80/20 being 100%, I'd put this up against a p1s.
@@TheFeralEngineer Has this not been debunked? A quick search indicates nothing is being shared other than gcode and your camera feed going to an AWS endpoint. You can also run them in LAN mode. That aside, is there no concern about these cheap Chinese printers (hell, really any) putting some form of spyware/malware/etc. within their hardware?
@@Goofy_68 I honestly hate bambu labs as a company and will do anything to get them out of my line of sight. I want nothing to do with them and they know it. As far as spyware, most of these machines can take a basic install of armbian linux and users can add their own klipper version if they're willing to either do without the screen or use a community supported version of Klipper 12. The screens are just TJC HMI displays, so the chance of them calling mama-san are pretty low. Anyone that is worried about their assets being sent abroad could also set up a local area subnet and block all internet access, but most are just printing cockasaurus, so the risk is moot.
@@Goofy_68 It has. Also Orca slicer has a stealth mode which basically disables the cloud and you use your machine in LAN mode. It's just paranoia at this point. Calling bambu a scummy chinese company while supporting creality and other chinese companies is funny all in all. Especially with the history of creality quality issues... I'd call that scummy.
@@zihotki I spent 500 dollars on lighting and 3 grand on camera equipment. Problem is it looks great through the camera viewfinder and my laptop then looks like shit once it goes to RU-vid.
