Is the X1C actually so good?

@webvince18
I’m relatively new to X1C but jumped on board after some years of breaking my teeth on printers like the wooden CTC ~10 years ago followed by Qidi dual and finally a Qidi i-Mate S,

I learnt a lot from these printers, personally the only thing I’ve had to get my head around is BB Studio having come from Simplify3D.

I’ve kept my printer as is other than just recently upgrading the Hot end to a E3D nozzle, I do the maintenance intervals when prompted and that’s it.

I design my own RC Plane / Drone parts and only had the confidence to buy and print someone else design after getting more familiar with the X1C.

I’m still learning but the key is Dry your filament, if you leave it in a airtight container re-dry it before your next print.

Example here am currently printing with the leftover which has sat in a dry box for 3 weeks or so but before printing I dried it in the oven for 10Hr, it’s worth it for quality results…

Others have said it might be worth waiting for the next BBL printer… :thinking:
