Our take
An enclosed CoreXY printer on a 256 mm plate at an open printer’s price, with a hardened nozzle for carbon-fibre filaments and a camera inside. Great value if you want enclosed printing without paying Bambu Lab prices.
What’s good
- Enclosed, fast and a 256 mm plate for the price of an open printer
- A hardened nozzle: prints carbon-fibre filled filaments
- A camera to watch prints
Worth knowing
- Single colour as standard
- A smaller community and fewer add-ons than Bambu Lab
