Bryan - you are FUNNY with that Boss reference - a type of reference I have seen from others as well. 

I say - Hard Pass on this sucker!!! WHY???

These spec's sound like FLUFF:
  1. Extruder Standard Type: HFA
  2. Standard Max Throughput: 2×
  3. Extruder Option Type: HFE
  4. Option Max Throughput: Up to 16×

What the Heck is this HFA & HFE stuff? And, What the HELL does "2x" & "16x" supposed to mean in REAL WORLD Values!?!?!?!?

I would stay Far FAR AWAY From this sucker - don't Touch It! Especially as it's not even a Close volume - which GREATLY Limits what can be Printed!!! 

Just sayin'...

Understood & thanks for the feedback. I still think that with references like   "2x" & "16x"  & No Enclosure - which limits what you can print - this is just NOT a Great unit - especially at that price!!!

David - Nice reply - I Completely agree with you!!!!

Yes - even at that price - like 20 Bambu H2D's - and that would be the PERFECT Print Farm!!!
