New printer. new price point.

[Dabbler]

Qidi has a new printer with all the toys. For starter price of 469US$, regularly 599US$

it has heated enclosure, coreXY 600mm/sec, - all the bells and whistles, including hardened nozzle.

-- but it isn't perfect. Of all the reviews I watched, this is the most balanced:

Gonna go for it?

It seems tempting. but qidi's past, and the imperfections are good reasons to hesitate. This offering may well begin another round of feature escalation and small price reductions.

I'm still in waiting mode - but a *lot* closer to pulling the trigger than before.

Why not build one like this:

My friend Jens, who is flogging all his casting supplies put this together. Pretty sure he printed all the parts with one of his other printers. It's pretty cool. It fetches the appropriate extruder/filament assembly.

He just gave me the link.

That's a nice looking printer. I like the multiple print heads. That is something I want to do if I ever build one, as I like that much more than one print head, and having to purge filament on every change.
