Only posting this in this thread since people hate him here. Hopefully new members dont see it. He gives a nice human take on things. He goes over the specs and also the privacy policy
Hes definitely not a teleprompter guy and he likes to troll fanboys, but he also doesnt hold back or try and bs you.
Funny thing though, he estimates H2D pricing (the complete package) at around 4k USā¦ That kinda falls within the price range i was estimating in one of my previous posts. Add to that the maintenance/repair/replacement costs (i.e. replacement of the whole print head) that most likely wonāt be available elsewhere, due to the complexity of it, and one should wonder if itās really worth buying it, when thereās plenty of less expensive choices on the market now.
He definitley made me think about it.
No doubt, i think we all got caught up in hype, but the third party lock out and future of needing to repair makes me a big nervous for that amount of money. Paying more to having less say what I can do with my own printer is a bit backward lol
thats why i think this video is a bit BSā¦ just speculations. we will see in 1hour . I am pretty sure bambu wants to compete with prusa xl. the only way to do so imo is by having a better price then them 
If, you had to spend an extra $300ā$400 on a laser, what would be the first thing youād cut or engrave ?
othe then paper ā¦ wood or cardboard there is not much to do with a 400$ laser. just think about the laser pecker lp2 or lp3ā¦ wich are more expensive and barely engrave anything
Those who arent familiar with laser engraving I think will be like, āoh niceā to having it, but those of us familiar with it, iām preparing to be disappointed in what I can actually use it for lol. I dont expect to feel like it some kinda āgame changerā or anything, but I hope iām proven wrong
I think if its more than 3k, I might pass on it for now.
Yes you are right in the view of home use, but my statement is not limited to home use. Since the printer should by also an advanced printer-ā¦ Since the printer is supposed to be an advanced printer - Shielding gases are also not always required for laser cuttingā¦ However, the printer is not performing as expected and is not delivering.
The new Orca Slicer printers are great, though. Iām going to order a Sovol SV08 now, since the new Bambu doesnāt deliver what Iām looking for.
@Hank What exactly are you looking for?
Well, RIP other printer manufacturers lol. This will be a hard price point to beat on the base model non ams. Just use an old ams
Good ones
Well, since the beginning of this year, Iāve been cutting back on my professional side; it just became too much and now my clients have to accept it now, they get a new one or notā¦
In that sense my 3D Priority also change a littel, size and potential on increasing. It can also take up a little bit of time (as long as it stays at a little). Itās a shame the Sovol doesnāt have a lidar, but whatever, you canāt have everything. The decision has been madeā¦
God Video, as on the video, āI think they produce a machine they wantā and thas all about since X1C - they make a printer were they self like to have. By the X1C they like to bild a machine were everyone like to haveā¦ So you are right RIPā¦
I think they built a printer that gives them more consumables to sell you to increase them profits
Exactly this. Im 4 grand in and i dont even have the filter i need. Looks like they didnt even include the safety glasses. Surprised about that since it would help cover their butts in case of a lawsuit
Itās like Disneyland. Your ticket gets you into the theme park, and there are a few free rides, but everything else is extra. Way extra. But heh, itās a fun place to be, isnāt it?
What would be the use case for the safety glasses? Are you planning on defeating the interlock with the laser operating?
Thats true. If there is a lock, why are they selling glasses? Maybe its still bed to look through the door for long periods. Hope not.
