Hi,
I've just seen on fabbaloo an article on the Mankati 3D printer : fullscale XT.

Anyone used them before ?

I've never heard of this before. Looks pretty cool though.

I don't have any experience with this printer but to verify, is this quote for the full scale XT? Hard to tell by the general description how sturdy the frame is but plating on the Y transmission and screw shaft look thick and overall design seems to be built to last. At 55lbs in a 15"x16.5"x21" frame, there must be some heft somewhere. If precision and heat control are good, this could be a winner.

it says metal frame and 3 glass panels and it looks heavy duty

Wow, yeah Payments only in sending nearly untraceable cash directly to them. That's been a gigantic caution flag for any business in America since the mid 1950s.

they told me if I pay the paypal fee 3.9% they could do it
comes out to $70.00 more bucks...... total is about $1,880.00
how they get 0.02 micron resolution I don't know and how come no one else has that fine a resolution I don't know
