  • It’s probably just a mental thing. If MSRP is 600 and I pay 700, I’ll feel like a spent an extra 100 for being impatient or getting ripped off. But if MSRP is unrealistic, 700 I guess is the real “MSRP” so shouldn’t feel bad.

    When the 20xx series was new with Nvidia, it was still possible to get cards at MSRP from retailers like Best buy, just had to be very vigilant checking availability. But if not a single person has been able to pick up the card at MSRP in 6 months I don’t think it’s worth holding breath.






  • So, other than the enclosure and print bed, what’s actually left of the original printer?

    The… Whole printer? The only thing they changed are the hot end and the control board. The entire construction of the printer, including all of the linear motion components that make these things so rock solid, haven’t been touched. Swapping those two components out isn’t anywhere close to a “custom built printer”. Besides firmware, it’s 90% stock, and it’s trivial for someone with the expertise to get a klipper profile built for something like this.
