the creatr 3 v2 is an idex system - so for me that's a no brainer, I'd get that one. Also a very good size print volume for an enxlosed machine.
300c hotend and 120c plate - so will be able to handle polycarbonate, goth food safe and super strong and durable.
If you want a dual extruder and can afford an IDEX system - then there really isn''t any argument as far as I am concerned - you go IDEX.
Leveling wise it covers ALL the options. Manual levelling so you can make it as flat as you like. But also induction sensors for mesh levelling and height sensing.
As far as slicers go - I've never managed to get simplify3d to succesfully do dual extrusion. I actually use Flashforges flashprint for that on my dual extruder rep clone machine.
Sooo much easier.
Looks like they've gone for a propriatary code format anway, so you have to use flashprint - but, that really isn't an issue. It is a really good slicer.
You even have a temperature controlled build chamber, and that's not as common as you'd think. Even the leapfrog bolt (my favourite enclosed idex printer) just has heated, not thermostatically controlled build chamber.
Got to say, the creator 3 v2 - while expensive, is a very decent looking piece of kit. And looking at the improvements and features - not to mention 300x250x200 build volume - it's a good buy.Last edited by curious aardvark; 02-17-2020 at 05:57 AM.
