Da Vinci 2.0 3D Printer

Check their website carefully. It is only 300g filament on a roll.

I also have Zortrax M200. I think it is currently the best ABS 3D printer on the market beside Up/Afinia.

Oh I see what you mean. However, as per the article you linked "..But at only 300g for the included spool," - the starter pack has 300g. The filament that are purchased are 600g. I guess, for that price, they are only including a small amount of filament.

Glad you recommend the Zortrax - it's the only reason I've stuck with not cancelling - the fact, that current users have recommended it. Though, it does bug me a lot that some of the features (auto-levelling) is not working for a $2000 printer. Having said that, might have paid even more if I could have had one within a shorter timescale.. We shall see - not sure where I am on the Zortrax atm!

ps. I could be totally wrong about the Da vinci even being worth $499. for that amount, I am willing to gamble and accept the slightly over-priced filament. having said that, was just reading a post by someone else saying how many different factors are involved in choosing filaments. this choice is made for you. bit like over-priced ipads. high priced, closed sourced, but I have to admit, they just tend to work!
