well it's sitting on the table behind me.
All clean and shiny and levelled and ready to go.
The test grid comes up fine.

Hopefully, I'll be getting it sticky and messy after walking the dogs.

So a couple of first impressions.
Quality build, tank like, comes to mind.
Even the plastic hood is solid and just feels 'nice'.

Well packed and comes with tools - one thing that says quality above all else are the allen keys it comes with.
Real quality hardened tool steel with the ball end on the long axis. None of that cheap metal that round off as soon as you look at it.
Even the usb stick is metal !

So it's a top notch piece of engineering.

But, somehow they've managed to fit the noisiest stepper motor I have EVER heard.
My monoprice mini delta is famous for being noisy, with all 4 motors running.
This is louder with just the one motor !
And its a mechanical drone, that cuts through all ambient noise.

Now I don't do upgrades to my machines, it's almost never necessary.
But if there's a way to add a silent stepper motor driver to this - I will do it asap !
lol
The cooling fans seem to have been sourced from the same totally deaf supplier.

Other than noise, the proxima has so far exceeded all my expectations.
Even the setup manual was good.

Oh yeah, keeping dog hairs out of the resin vat - that's going to be a real ongoing battle lol.
