    I feel like the detection has gotten better on this machine compared to the old A1 because I keep on getting like filament like uh stuck detection and also like with this little slot here near to the shoot, it also could help with clogging detection.

  • Materials, Multicolor & Versatility-5 pts

    I do find that it works well with like TPU or PETG or any other material. Obviously not ABS. You can't use ABS with this machine.

  • Software & Connectivity-5 pts

    Only downside is it's not an AI camera, but you know, it has all these other features and you still monitor with the app.

    this is actually a physical detector near the purge area that's there to catch any early signs of nozzle blobs before they turn into some sort of disaster

    if the room is dark, the light is nowhere near strong enough.

    perfect for someone that's looking for a cheap large format printer without the need for printing and engineering materials, things like ASA, ABS, any of that kind of stuff.

    all in all took about half an hour to get it all assembled and put together.

  • Maintenance & Upkeep-5 pts

    If they get snagged or broken or caught on something, then you've got to send off the whole machine or get parts in and take it all apart to fix it.
