cheaper than ultimaker. And half price of a makerbot 5th gen ;-)

Well the bowden thing works well IF you use 3mm filament. It's thick enough that even flexible filaments feed without any real issues.

All the new, fast machines I saw had bowden setups.
The bcn3d sigma also has an all metal hotend, auto calibration - and the aluminium case is heavy duty. 3-4 mm thick. It's an extremely well made piece of kit.

$1800 euros seemed a good price.
