Here, there and over there… plenty of choices

Oh well, that’s another printer discounted. The Zero is over 70 decibels with the door open and over 65 shut. To loud for me. 
It’s from about 10 days ago now… so clearly no-one would remember it exists after the H2D announcement…

I had mentioned it before earlier in this thread, but in light of the recent H2D reveals, it may be the closest competitor, except it appears to lack an AMS.
The Guilder 3 Ultra was released to market in February 2024, yet I bet most people have never heard of it. So, if H2D becomes a screaming success, it will be a testament to the high regard many people have for the Bambu brand.

This printer you found seems realy nice. I like that one. It would be 3450 Euro (inkluding tax) for me to get one. I dont need the color prints and only mainly want the dual nozzles for support stuff.
But 3 reasons i am not getting that printer.
-
feels a bit expensive, would be nice if the printer would not be more than 2800 Euro.
-
I think i would have to play to much with filament adjustmants to get nice prints out of it. I am hoping the RFID Filaments from Bambu lab takes care of that problem + the “lidar” sensor to tune the settings for the filament.
-
H2D will be released soon and there i have the RFID filaments for the Filament settings and Maker world if i run out of ideas for printing my own stuff. The color prints are just a bonus.
By the way, what 3D scanner for the H2D do you think works nicely? Sometimes i have an eye on the creality scanner, but i need a printer first, and i for sure dont have the spare money to get both at the same time.
Hey, quick question. What is the best 3d printer to print and build? I’ve been looking at 3d printers to build for a long time and I cant decide.
Maybe make a dedicated post in Other topics since it’s not really speculation.
If i could sell P1 for a good price i would consider buying this ….
There needs to be a more agreed upon vocabulary for describing automatic calibration. For instance, the FlashForge 5m Pro says:
but what it doesn’t say is that it doesn’t automatically set the z-height. I’m not exactly sure how, but the X1C somehow manages to do both (auto bed-leveling and setting the z-height). Yet the X1C doesn’t mention auto setting the z-height in its advertising.
Now that I’ve had experience manually dialing in the z-height, I can say with confidence that it’s affected by a host of things, including bed temperature, filament type, and even filament brand. On the other hand, maybe it’s the reason I can get a perfect first layer on my 5m Pro, but not quite as good on my X1C.

I recall this printer’s price being higher than 5K when it was released and referred to as Flashforge’s attempt to compete with Ultimaker and Raise3D printers. Am I confused with other Flashforge models?

When the Flashforge Guider 3 Ultra 3D printer was first released, its manufacturer’s suggested retail price (MSRP) was $5,999 USD. As of October 2024, the price has been reduced to $3,499 USD. And the Matter Hacker price, shown above, is now $2,999.

and not a lot of users buy those either way 
its more a commercial printer as its expensive. same way as the prusa xl… its a nice printer but a bit too expensive for most users
Admittedly, yes, but it is in-line with what people (prosumers?) in the poll run earlier in this thread, not long ago, of what they’d be willing to spend on H2D

The X1/P1 can be quiet. You just turn down the chamber fan in filament profiles to 50% and print a “muffler” with an hepa filter that attaches to the back of the printer on top of the exhaust port.
Can anyone name which 3D printer this is, which has two extruders on one printhead, and which pendulums back and forth? Here, I set the time-index to start playback at the very brief (2 second) portion of the youtube clip where it is shown:
This is how I remembered Bambu was going to do it, based on their patent filing. For H2D, though, it looks as though (based either on discussion above or on one of the other recent H2D threads, I can’t remember which) Bambu implemented a different way. Maybe the reason has to do with ooze containment, or maybe there were other considerations.

My guess was that they had to patent the wrong setup, because stratasys already has the patent for lifting nozzles
Hi @NeverDie
Well, you are right, just in additional. I notice the Flashfroge Guider 3 Ultra since it is on the Market and there was some Infos on the web on this (the handful videos are probably gone or I was hallucinating).
Aligning two nozzles in X, Y and Z is not easy and even you can manage it yourself (which might even be impossible) parts are then usually of a completely different quality very quickly…, and I have other prices for this printer Guider 3 Ultra than 2900 USD in mind. It was changed a long time agot to 2900 USD but it was much more higher priced Snapmaker J1 but in IDEX and as has often been said, unfortunately with glass plates.
But it’s certainly a good selling point. If a printer manufacturer is keen to sell a lot of printers quickly, it certainly looks good on a sales poster. Selling is now anyway by some a completely different thing than delivering.
Now, many opinions can come up as often. But the fact is, if I’m wrong, I’m happy to be positively convinced. Otherwise. If not, that won’t be my problem. Anyway: My major problems have been solved so that I’m no longer in a hurry
And sorry for the addendum: For, me the most interesting question by far after the announcement of the H2D (or whatever), how expensive will the X1C be after that announcement and is still nothing has happened yet.
