I might try the bead blasting in the future once I decide on a printer. There are so many of them and lots of the companies
Im sure won't be around in the future
The gCreate is nice but the $3000 plus $400 more for heated bed is a bit. I have a Kronos 2 88key keyboard workstation
that wasn't that much new and there is more tech in it then these 3d printers go figure.
I would like a good size build area and auto leveling bed and heated bed. I will have to decide if I want to spend that
much for the Gmax 1.5 xl or some other brand for less. I know the prices on all these will drop in the future and if I spend to much I will be sorry down the road I think. Im not crazy about China stuff but who know might have to go with
them, just worry about support and parts when they go out of business.
