Bcn3d sigma, ultimaker 2+ extended, zortrax m200, mankati full scale xt and one or two others. We spent 90 days looking through specs. The fusion is the 12th printer to be bought or built here including prusas, flash forge, Rostock. Right now I’m debating the markforged or another f400.

I got a proposal from chip and the printer is 8 weeks out. Ouch. Might need to consider a different printer.
It’s worth the wait… just my two cents. 
Agreed. Mine was a preorder and more than 8 weeks. I’m glad I resisted the urge to cancel. Now that I have one I’d wait 3 months for another one.
The fusion, unlike most printers out there, is designed for small businesses. I’ve never run a print for anyone who owns a fusion. As for almost every other model of printer out there (especially makerbot) I’ve run prints due to quality issues, maintenance issues or deadlines for people who own or have access to a 3d printer.

Does it print well at 100mm/s as they advertise or is there some ringing when you get to those speeds? I have an Ultimaker 3 now but looking for something faster for single filament prints.
Fusion3 uses swappable print heads and hardened steel nozzles (not brass). They don’t replace nozzles as that’s unreliable (need to heat to full operating temps (+240*C) with proper equipment to ensure nozzles are properly seated.
260c No special equipment. 2 crescent wrenches will work. Proper nozzle seating is a 101 level task and requires only working eyeballs.
That’s what I was hoping. I know their manual discourages it, but I figured with the v6 that it should be possible.
