Flashforge Creator Pro vs PowerSpec 3d Pro??
I am currently looking for a 3d printer and originally I was looking at the Flashforge creator pro as it had what I needed, mainly the dual extruder, but just now I came across the Powerspec 3d pro from MicroCenter and it seems to be the same printer but just from a different manufacturer. The price on the powerspec is much less, 799$ according the email from microcenter but I'm not sure if lower price means less of a quality.
I've read but not sure if it true that the powerspec uses mk 8 extruder vs the mk 9 in the flashforge and the powerspec doesn't accept sailfish or gcode, is this true?
Does anyone have any input on the comparison between them?
I can help with Powerspec 3D
I can help. Reach out to me at 214-659-3003. have used the powerspec for a full year and an Airwolf 5.5 for another two. Be happy to see what we can do.

I just purchased the PowerSpec 3DPro - great price, and used the extra discount to buy 1yr extended warranty.
Here's my problem (had to be one, right?!)
While assembling the machine, I could not fit the filament guide tubes into the holes in the print head. I took the tubes back to Micro Center, and tried fitting them in their floor model... they DID fit (though much more tightly than the tube they had installed in their machine). The sales guy let me swap out their tube for one of mine. The older tube does fit in my print-head, but it is a tight squeeze, and I really don't want to exert too much pressure while inserting it.
My question is: Should I take the printer back, or try remove a bit of outer-wall thickness of the tubes, or what?
Thanks!
