If I need laser engraver or CNC, I would buy one that is inside a 3D printer. But that maybe thatās just me.
From another angle, when I buy a 3D printer, I only want to pay for a 3D printer. I donāt want to pay the extra for laser engraving or CNC.
Does BL say this new printer is their flagship printer? or just a new printer?
Thatās how it was, I just downloaded it from their CDN.
Gotcha, thanks for thatā¦
ātop-of-the-lineā and āAbove our current X1 seriesā were both used by them in regards to this printer, and theyāve replied to people calling it the flagship without denying it
I will not pay 3k to buy that Snapmaker. I would rather buy one very good 3D printer, or two X1Cs. Howās the sale of that Snapmaker? I would love to know if it has broad appeal.
It would be absurd if laser engraving or CNC were not optional.
Yes, itās a flagship.
From what I can tell it reviewed well, but there arenāt a ton of consumer reviews for it, I think itās a bit niche due to the price
So they didnāt state that the new printer is their new flagship? But some in the forum interpreted that as a flagship?
Toms hardware has an upcoming review on the 25th
lets just hope they have enough in stocks for all of us on the 25th im buying hahah
I donāt think they have explicitly used that word in their own base posts, but they did not deny it las February when someone asked after the golden ticket winners were chosen
For reference:
Wondering how difficult it will be to replace/fix or maintain. Looks pretty complicated.
The X1E is still the flagship for engineering, available only from suppliers, in the store
If the new printer is positioned as the new flagship, it will mean that it is designed and produced to have mass appeal. It will unlikely have functions like laser engraving or CNC which is niche.
BTW, a flagship will also not have a big price tag. A flagship is usually the best seller of their product line. A big price tag is not going to sell that many.
ā¦Iām realizing I had a misconception of what flagship meantā¦
Itās flagship sometimes and top of the line sometimes, so I donāt think they know either lol
So they did say āflagshipā. I will be surprised if it has laser engraving or CNC in it. But I can be wrong. Itās not like I have studied the market
