Got mine today - First Impressions

[jamesarm97]

So taking a peek at the printer and Myself and "Jetguy" have to give the NewMatter team a thumbs up on their design work and attention to detail. The parts are pretty high quality and that cooling fan is super duper. Question on the "Filament out sensor", is that used yet by the firmware? I did a test and cut the filament during a print and it didn't really do anything but the print finished with about 4 inches of filament left so I don't know if it waits a little more or if the sensor isn't used during the printing process (The sensor where the filament is loaded at the base of the unit). Also give a thumbs up to the consumer protection on the extruder heater (thermal runaway / cutoff sensor). This has become an increasing debate on 3d printers. Can't wait to see what improvements come in the firmware and the ability to have more control over the slicing process (or local slicing).

This is just anecdotal evidence from my filament running out in the middle of a big print yesterday, but no.
