Fourth try on a print. Tried to add some adhesive to the bed to get it to stick better. Watched the first two layers and went to bed. Woke up to a printer on strike.

I have an A1 and a X1C. Got them because I was tired of my printer being the project and not the actual prints. I was inspired by the guy building life sized Trex models. He highly recommended them. I have about 600 hours on my A1 and about 150 on my X1C. Only time I have issues is when the model is poorly made/badly sliced(so basically user error).

They are basically "set it and forget it". Setting them up is basically connecting 3-4 cables and 4 screws - incredibly easy.

I could not recomment them enough. I print almost daily now while with my ender I spent more time trying to fix z offsets and other junk.
