@EV_Trapper Are the two different materials between quotes affecting the price difference at all?

[PCDC @PCDC__]

@JustJoshLife No black color is disappointing

[PCDC @PCDC__]

@Inventor22x @Xaraphim I would hope Bambu would be smart enough to add some sort of bellows to not coat EVERYTHING 3dp related in particulates..

[PCDC @PCDC__]

@singin_surfer @Creality3dP Dual leadscrew is nice (better to have dual tilt vs single motor) but you'd assume the k2 plus would have tri motors
