Add DJI "revenge investing" in Elegoo and one has the Centauri Carbon which is almost impossibly inexpensive, and which triggered a series of price reductions which landed me a 4-colour 3D printer at an impulse-buy price over the Christmas holiday to add to the Centuari Carbon which churned through a roll of PLA left over from my setting up an Ordbot Quantum roughly a decade ago in less than a week.
Looking into getting an additional 3D printer so that I can have 9+ filaments loaded and not need to swap spools around....
First time I heard about DJI investing in Elegoo. That’s super interesting
Yeah, the irony is the CCP is a major holder in both companies.
I wish Prusa could work up a way to make a machine to directly compeat at the low-end, but as they have noted in blog posts --- they can't even source the bare components of the low-end printers even in very large quantities for what the now entry-level printers from China are selling for.
