With the k1, Bambu labs, and prusa xl all coming out I’m really starting to look at my 3 year old SK-GO as “slow”. Do you think it’s worth waiting for awhile and seeing if the competition heats up more or should I just pull the trigger on one of the current high speed machines

    If you have the cash bamboos are 100% worth the upgrade. I’ve printed more on my carbon in 6 months then I have on my other machines in 3 years.

    The speed is amazing but the reliability is what really makes it shine. Being able to press to on a 24 hour print and knowing that it’ll come out flawless has been such a time changer.

      So true! I’ve not printed yet a single benchie or any other calibration test on it, while on my previous printer (Artillery X2) I wasted a lot of time and filament trying to fix layers banding and flow rates and even choosing the right slicer. I was also always concerned to start a new big print not knowing if it would succeed or fail. Those times are gone now
