Comment on Are there other options than Prusa/BambuLab?

The only other one I know of, outside of a dual exturder Voron, is the Qidi I-Fast IDEX printer. It’s expensive, somewhat over $1000, but it has a lot of goodies too. 350C extruder, heat chamber, and a decent sized build volume to print just about any engineering filament.

Thanks, didn’t knew about the Qidi. And even thou its 1k€/$, its still a half the price of the BambuLab or Prusa!

Their Plus 4 printer is supposed to have multi material box -a la AMS- some time this year. But there hasn’t been much said about it since the release of the Plus 4 model.

I’ll second qidi, I got my x-pro back in 2018 and it came with instructions on tpu before you could reliably get tpu filament. My box has been printing like a dream ever since and they’ve even helped me do a bunch of custom mods. Last time the provided full spec measurements for thee extruder head to me, before they they provided custom cura specs for a machine modified with my custom kit to help troubleshoot an issue I was having. Literally, they modded their own machine with my files to help me out.
Best company I’ve ever worked with.
