  • Its more of just how the bike feels when im on it. It feels solid and substantial has weight but still feels nimble. The places where you’re in contact with the bike feel thought out. The Z900 to me feels more raw and kinda plastic-y not necessarily like a toy but more like a well modified car that prioritizes performance over small details and comforts. Really it comes down to what you like the feeling of more to me its pretty much the top gear meme “that is brilliant, but I like this” If you can catch a demo day for each one I highly highly recommend it.














  • So yes, sorta. I was having some weird underextrusion and binding with the extruder which made me think the nozzle was clogged so I cleaned it and did several cold pulls to no avail then the problem just sorta slowly stopped happening. I realize now it could have been inconsistencies in the filament (Inland PLA +) Right when I stopped printing I started to have issues with my parts not adhering to the bed at all, tried some solutions both in the slicer, glue, tape ect and leveled the bed a bunch of times, last time I did it I leveled it really close to the nozzle to the point that it was really smushing the first layer into the bed which caused prints to stick entirely too well so Im pretty sure I know where that problem lies but im looking to get a flexible magnetic bed anyways. I know a hot end and extruder really wouldnt affect that of course. I just love tinkering with it which is half the reason I want to upgrade. Just looking for a little nudge in a direction so I can do some tinkering but not so much tinkering that im not able to enjoy what im tinkering on.

    Funnily, my friend is practically giving me his old Ender 3 this week so Ill still have another printer to also mess around with. Who knows, I may build a Voron down the line.
