Bambu: “Don’t assume CNC is the only path to accuracy. 3D printing can achieve far more than you might think.”

and the Laser appeared.

637

I would believe they are calibration markers.

638

BL acolytes. Like Religious fanatics - sad but true. Admittedly also Prusa has them.

639

Does Prusa have a product that you can use laser during printing, with a suitable filter and glass structure?

After looking at the image for a bit. This looks like build plate detection. It might be bed leveling too with lidar, but that is a stretch.

641

In my opinion, we shouldn’t keep saying a high price is expected in the first place :slight_smile: . I failed to see a good purpose for these talks. I asked about this in an earlier post

642

I think it’s extremely unlikely they will change the price based on what anyone here is saying. It will most likely have been pretty much set in stone for some time now.

643

Because logic>hope.
Still same answer.

644

you’re are absolute rigth.
Although BL pride them selfs to be a consumer product brand, so if they want to keep that image they cant put industrial prices.
we’ll see, myself I believe that anything above 2K is already on pro/indistrial/niche range, so im hoping as just an afficionate to be under that as ive been puting on hold getting the K2 plus because of this one.
like me i know many ppl on the same position.

645

Their pricing isn’t going to be based around what a small subset of users think or murmur about. It will have been priced many months ago based on expected development time and, more importantly, the market they’re going for.

646

They have a 256mm single nozzle printer for $2,500.

Man, I hope the next ford gt is the same price as the mustang. This world sounds fun

647

X1C combo is 1,5K, so not sure what you are on about…

648

“x1 series” …google x1e

letters

649

for professionals only, so much they dont even sell it online, dont thnk that is the aproach with this one

650

Then why would they specify “X1 series”? Why not just say “above the X1C”?

651

i guess we will all have to wait a few days to see who’s right, I hope its me :sweat_smile:

652

I also hope it’s you and that it isn’t $3K XD

EDIT: To be fair, something like this printer for say, $1500 WOULD be disruptive, similar to how the X1C very quickly put them on the map

Yes, as said in my earler post, the price range was set before the product was designed and engineered.

What is the point of these high price expection talk though? To show pricing expertise? We don’t have anything to go by even if someone in this forum happens to be a pricing expert.

655

I would assume it’s just because we don’t know the pricing and we want to know, so we speculate. We have a lot of information, but the biggest, possibly most important piece is still not known. People like to speculate/plan for multiple options, and I am of the mind that I rather plan for the worst and hope for the best.

We have a lot of info, things like precision machined gears are not particularly cheap to manufacture unless they’ve come up with something novel that lowers the price while keeping the accuracy somehow (and that would be a big reveal in and of itself I would think). We can look at the specs, and compare to other manufacturers that have machines with similar features. This happens with every big product release when the price isn’t known while other information is, it’s not unique to this forum.

Is anyone here right? No clue, we’ll find out in 3 more days. I would be very happy to be wrong and it to be another disruptive, affordable device that can become common and push other manufacturers to catch up
