via Amazon
How It Scores
Pros
- +300x300x400mm at $349: the price-per-cubic-millimeter is absurd
- +Klipper pre-installed with room to tune
- +Direct drive handles TPU and flexible materials at this large scale
- +Prints armor plates and large props without slicing and gluing
Cons
- −QC varies batch to batch: some users get great units, some need calibration work
- −Artillery's community is thin compared to Creality or Elegoo
- −Gets audibly loud pushing 500mm/s; this is a workshop printer, not a bedroom one
