I couldn’t confirm but according to this redit post, the X1C uses a Dual-Core Cortex M4 motion controller and Quad ARM A7 1.2 GHz application processor.

If you ran TOP on it, maybe through the alternate firmware, then you’d get a better sense as to how heavily utilized it was (look for peak load) and use that info to draw a rough comparison to the esp32 chip’s maximum capability.
did you get the mysterybox sent to you afterwards? what did support say?
yeah i got it yesterday, support confirmed it was shipped separately and gave me a tracking number - it’s a bluetooth speaker kit 
you don’t say… they are now making printers that can communicate with the users through speakers… so they send you kits … interesting evolution… 
Nothing like being woken up at 3am with printer screaming at you that bed is not leveled…
Built in smoke/fire ditector would be awesome. Extra points for built in extinguisher
The H in H2D stands for “Halon”. Full fire suppression system, just don’t breathe if it goes off!
Dang, they claim to have stopped making those. I’ve got one but I don’t want to use it 'till I come up with something good.
Bigger and faster than the X1E for only 4x the price!

lol that looks extremely close to what i think bambu’s new flagship will be 
edit/ makes one wonder if they did it on purpose to then push on the litigation with bambu
I doubt it. Their history is to start out with each new printer as proprietary, but then after 2 or 3 years they make literally everything open source. They sell to institutional buyers, and their shtick is to provide extensive onsite support.
isn’t ultimaker also owned by stratasys? which is currently in litigation with bambu
Stratasys is a minority shareholder, but still owns over 46%
yeah 46% even though technically is a minority stake, i’m sure they have a lot to say on that board
lol
That part between brackets made me laugh…
That being said, the part about the price ($9k), made me go away…immediately. 
I always wanted an ultimaker, but it just seemed like over the years they got more and more expensive.
I almost purchased a clone kit off of aliexpress a couple of times, but the kits were always a little dodgy, from dodgy sellers.
What if BBL made their AMS 2 modular? Instead of having the standard four I could buy additional units that could expand horizontally and vertically. Thoughts?
Do you mean like the current 4-spool AMS but interlocking with other units or single spool units you can buy an arbitrary number of and link together? I think single spool units would add a lot of complexity and -more importantly- points of failure, but in theory it could be neat. A lot of things don’t need 8 colors but need more than 4. For the 4-spool units I feel like space may be a limiting factor there
Both. It could be interlocking (base units) and have individual units that interlock. If I want to have a five spool system I could buy the base unit (4) and then get an additional unit to make five.
