Comment on My CR-10's had a good run but I made a slight upgrade today
jaschen@lemmynsfw.com 8 months agoWhat did you end up paying?
Outside of price, what features are you getting(or not getting)with this?
I am considering a bamboo 5o replace my artillery X1 and MakerBot x2. I love both my printers, but I’m sick of being a 3D printing engineer and just want to print something out I created.

It was $700 + tax, but in store only, which was an issue since California has one Micro Center and it’s down in the LA area. Luckily my wife was going to Disneyland with some family and ended up being 10 min from the store and was nice enough to snag it for me.
Speed was the biggest feature I was interested in and man this thing hauls, but having a full enclosure to mess with temp sensitive prints is something I’ve been wanting, and the Lidar + print issue detection seems like it’ll be great. And man the bed just leveling itself feels like some wizardry after manually leveling my print bed for so many years.
I have an OctoPi hooked up to my CR-10 but I’ve been fiddling around with the Creality Cloud setup and it looks like I can get the same functionality with one less device, and having the camera built in and web accessible is really cool.
