its older then a rev d. could use some upgrades. i cant see the extruder itself but if its not the v4 extruder and the metal bracket, get it! its one that is totally worth the cost. you could upgrade the bed but it wont be easy and not cheap… works just the same however you must be gentle about pulling prints off the bed (ie take off the glass) because re leveling the three wave springs sucks. its not hard but something youve gotta spend the time to do.
If you upgrade the extruder bracket just know the wiring harness on that machine wont work with the newer “cooler looking” printed wire box you will have to find the box version in the makergear github page. or extend the wires yourself if you can solder
Yes it is, it’s performance is great for its price range, it just doesn’t come with all the bells and whistles (like internet connection or an enclosure). $500 is a great price for one.
Yes, if it is in good working order. I’ve had mine M2 for 2 years and would not sell it for only $500. I would have to see it print a Marvin or a Benchy. There are wear items too, like the print head gears, nozzle and belts. Can it still be accurately leveled? Do the step motors or any of the fans sound funny? If most of these things are OK, you will have a great setup. Enjoy.
Still the best I know of. I’ve been to ces for the last few years and can’t find any better. The m2 doesn’t have bells and whistles and fancy stuff that breaks easy. It’s a solid work horse and lasts forever. Have 7000 hours on my first one thousands of combined hours on my other 3. They run 24/7. If you don’t take that offer, I’ll take it:)
