At the time of introducing CR – 10S I said I suspect the existence value of a 10 million yen 3D printer. I will compare them.
For consumer use, there are too many, so I chose owned CR-10S.
I am experienced both expensive printers and cheap printers.
I am attaching a background color to letters that I think personally is superior. There is no background color where I think there is no difference.

If I buy an FDM 3D printer at my company, I think that I will choose for consumer use.
Cost reduction of $ 500 out of $ 100,000 is possible.
I do not think running cost, repair fee etc will take much in the future (if there are people who knew well).
It is cheaply suppressed if you examine the place which is winning for business for consumer use and choose it.
For example, in Creality 3D CR – X sold by the same Creality 3D, two filaments can be used so that water – soluble filaments can be used at the same time and the support material can be melted with water after molding.
With dual extruder & enclosure, network management · operation, auto leveling and all inclusions are not yet found for consumer use.
But I can not choose a 10 million yen 3D printer.
It is better to divide it to some extent, or divide it for various purposes and take several units to price as well as installation space.
