BIZER III 3D Printer

[MiniMadRyan]

Well I guess if you copy someone else design, - technically they are a collaborater in your design - albeit unwillingly :-)
Not sure what benefit slapping a touchscreen on a rep clone is.
But the rest of the improvements sound interesting.

One thing I've wondered looking at that rep clone, with the touch screen and sides of the frame being higher than the build platform, if one was to build a model that used the entire build volume, wouldn't it be impossible to get it off the bed and out of the frame?

I will not speculate.

The 3D Printer market is littered with $3500 hardware that is worth $800 in parts.

A patent infringement article that is almost 3 years old does not mean CTC 'collaborated' with Form1 still

I was inferring all 3D technologies originated with another product.

Kinda like car engines. All manufacturers make their own however they all have pistons, rods, and crankshafts..... Even the Hybrids. They are not so different.

There has never been a copyright filing by Form1 to CTC.

Unless you are a lawyer, I wouldn't slander companies to which we have no actual information.

I wasn't slandering you or CTC purposely. You stated that CTC collaborated with Form1, yet a verified Form1 employee says they have never had anything to do with CTC. Pretty cut and dry if you ask me...

If that was true, then Form1 would have an clear cut case wouldn't they?

There is more to the story I assure you.

True enough, I respect that you may know more than I do regarding the situation, but understand that from my perspective (and probably that of others too) would conclude the same sentiment as I did.

You've got a very good point there.
It doesn't look like you could. Unless the sides come off easily.

The likelihood of that happening is probably low, but least from these pictures it appears it would be hard to do. I wonder what they are using to control the touch panel

We are using our own electronic PCB for the motherboard. Not a clone from another maker. Its available in ENG and JAP
