Yeah Im pretty happy with my A1 mini myself, but moving from a bed slinger to a core xy I think will be a nice change on some of the bigger or taller prints as well as the bigger build volume which yes, doesnt quite match the A1’s 256^3, but its really not much smaller (245x245x240).

Looking at the reviews and price it really does seem to be the sweet spot for stepping up my 3d printing game. Ive been watching reviews for a good chunk of the last couple days, trying to find as many as I can that are more recent than 11 months ago when everyone was reviewing machines they just got and instead reviewing machines theyve actually put through the paces.
