Okay 3D printing peeps, tell me- is there a CoreXY large format enclosed printer that’s not dog slow for ~$1,000? I have to think there is something better than an Anycubic Kobra Max (a bed slinger, not CoreXY) and a big honkin’ generic enclosure. I know of the Creality K1 Max, but that’s only 300x300x300 build volume. I’d like to find something with the Kobra Max build volume. Thanks!
@Nikto I considered the Bambu before settling on the K1, but am in the market for something larger. The K1 Max isn’t really a “Max” kind of volume, but is CoreXY, enclosed, and fast.
I may have to wait for something to come to market, and I hate having to wait. 🤬
@MookyTroubadour I'd recommend just getting used to cutting STLs and combing finished prints. I've done full armor suits on an old Ultimaker S3. Increased bed size has (so far) not been worth the trade in quality or reliability.
@MookyTroubadour I checked and the cheapest I could come up with was a Voron 2.4 R2 with a 350x350 plate... I don't know though, there's some interesting newer brands out there that make good products, maybe check out like Sovol or something.
@Brisse yeah, I don’t know too much about the Voron’s other than they’re properly open source. I don’t think they have the kind of speed I’m aiming for (like Creality K1, or Bambu P1S) but I was trying to find at least 400x400x400 volume. I might just need to sit tight and wait for new models, but I’m awful with patience.
@MookyTroubadour Yeah, I think they're half the speed of the K1, probably have to wait.
@MookyTroubadour I used to run a Creality CR10-S5....massive build volume (500x500x500) for cheap...but also a massive PITA to run. Constant adjustments, failed prints, failed hardware, etc.
Switched to Bambu X1C (256x256x256) and it's a complete game-changer. Speed is ridiculous and the quality doesn't seem like FDM.
Currently running a test print on it at 0.01mm layer height -- curious to see where/if it fails with it.
