My H2D has earned its place. 3rd print was this owl ment for an H2C. 6 day print, and it was flawless. My K1 max with the CFS mod would never have gotten this far.

Done with normal PLA and matter hackers blue glow PLA. done with 6 walls and 40% infill iirc. it needs to be dense for the glow to actually work. 2 walls at 15 doesnt cut it. to be clear, i will only do prints like these once in a blue moon, or else i woulda sprung for an H2C. my last printer before this was a K1 MAX with the CFS mod. it was C grade...and thats being kind. i could never get it to be reliable long term. So, now having a printer that i can actually rely on, is huge. i'm supper happy with it

Okay, what is ACTUALLY the best 3D printer (rant/discussion)??

Yeah, it's absolutely massive. And I don't know why this idiot is calling the H2C slow. It's fast as hell. It's faster than nearly every other printer on the market aside from the Snapmaker U1 and Prusa XL. You want to see slow, you look at my K1 max and it's 3.5 minute color changes.

Are Creality printers really rubbish?

Im someone who has had a home made prusa i3 printer for the best part of 10 years here and have had no end of problems over that time with breakdowns in the middle of a 12 hour print and always making repairs somewhere. Anyway I bumped into someone in my travels who has a Creality K1 max and uses it in his business extensively. It sure seems fast and going by what he said, is very reliable. The printer quality is out of this world and would be a huge jump in improvement from my prusa i3. He has made a few mods to it, like raise the height of the cabinet, as he said the top lid was touching the filament tube and he also made a different fan duct on the side, but I don't know how critical that is. Now after reading a few people's posts, there seems to be a number of people who say to avoid this brand citing unreliablity as the main issue. All I know is that it has a huge print volume and is priced well and seeing it working is pretty convincing. If anyone could shed any more light on the subject would be good. This fella is using it commercially and had nothing to complain and he seems pretty clued up on 3d printing. I wouldn't be using it as much as he is, but im printing much more nowadays.
