Be3d's DeeGreen Printer Review

[curious aardvark]

well I can understand that.
Given the number of cold bed printing filaments that are around now. And the hassle you get (I have) with abs. I think most 'ordinary' folk as users wouldn't want the hassle and most likely wouldn't care anyway.

Between running this site, writing articles daily, and spending time with my 11-month old son and my wife, I just didn’t feel like having the burden of setting up and testing yet another 3D printer.

My heart bleeds for you lol

Actually the weird thing is the support on the lefabshop elephant. I've printed about a half dozen, in different sizes, never used support, never needed it. It's designed to print without support.

So why would a slicing engine add support that clearly isn't needed ?

And yep for $2000 I'd want a larger print area.

I love PLA but I still have a 50% need for ABS support..

PLA isn't cold bed perfect... I print cold all the time and seriously, 3-4 hours is about max I get before some small corner lift even with PLA and blue tape, a slightly heated bed, even 50c makes a balls load of difference, especially in the flashforge.

Mind you this has an enclosed chamber so that bed would get some heat I guess, but still, for me personally I require ABS just as much as PLA - this is why I never bought a makerbot, to hell with the price - the FF was a 1/3rd of the price and did more.
