How It Scores
Pros
- +Voron 2.4 kinematics at $479 instead of $1,000+ in DIY parts and time
- +350x350x400mm bed handles nearly anything without splitting prints
- +700mm/s is a real number that the machine hits in practice with tuning
- +Klipper means you can modify everything: macros, pressure advance, the lot
Cons
- −Out-of-box calibration takes several hours for first-timers
- −QC is inconsistent between batches: some units are great, some need work
- −No enclosure, which undermines the engineering material use case
