  • I recently got an X1C after several years with an Artillery Sidewinder X2 and all I can say is that while the AMS does have a lot of waste when doing multiple colors per layer, you can tune it to waste less and purge into infill, and the quality and reliability of the printer means I’m wasting a ton less of filament because I’m not getting failed print after failed print.





  • It’s absolutely not accurate for small objects. I had a few laying around and was interested in making one but didn’t bother until a coworker asked me to print out a custom part for one of his Gundam models. I threw it together (using the better XBOne Kinect) and tried to scan the 4" tall Gundam and just got a little blob regardless of which method I used to scan (both rotating the object or rotating the Kinect around the object). I think it would definitely be more useful for something like OPs project or scanning something much larger.

    I also used the 360 Kinect to build a kinetic sandbox which operates on the same principle but without the same output and that worked really well.
