it is a real shame. Given how many people copied the original replicators (got two clones) that the company has come out with a product that has gone backward in many areas and overly complicated in most others.

When you look at the price of the 5th gen machines. They don't even include a heated build plate and the build area is easily the smallest in the price range.

When the chinese don't immediately rush to copy your printer - you know you've shot yourself in the foot !
