    I’m not sure what you’re getting at?

    Company has a launch time for new products. YouTubers make videos about products, where they’re free to criticise those products. They have sponsors from different companies to support that video.

    Are you claiming it sinister because they’re given a time when the product can be show so it’s fair to all creators?

      More often than not, they are signing an agreement to not say anything negative in order to get the sponsorship.

        I just watched one of these four videos (top left) and they were happy to point out the positives and negatives of the printer.

        Am I to believe I was incredibly lucky choosing that one?

    Tom Sanladerer pointed some disqualifying flaws at least. Not just praise. But still - as far as I’m considered - no Tux, no Bux. I’d rather buy an inferior or more expensive printer that I can thinker with for as long as I own it, rather than relying on faith to not get locked out of my own printer.

      The problem is they make a really good printer at a really good price… But with them locking down their printers, I won’t be buying another.

        They are really good machines for the price, and i will hold of the lock down update to the best of my ability. Next one ill probably build a voron or something that can print with high temperature.

      I don’t like them either but I am strongly considering getting one because all the reports that it consistently works out of the box without any kind of mods as I need to just send prints to it and get a good print out without any fiddling about every time

        These days this is true of many other brands as well. The early days of your printer showing up as a kit full of bits and requiring you to spend as much time wrenching on it as using it are gone, unless you deliberately go and seek something like that out.

        Qidi, Anycubic, Prusa, Creatality, and probably tons of others I can’t think of off the top of my head also make machines that are unbox-and-use.
