Air manager cost !

Posted · Air manager cost !

I am trying to comprehend why the S5 air manager is nearly £900 here in the UK, i can't possibly see how the cost is justified, does anyone with one feel it justifies the cost ?, what could it possibly do to be that expensive.

 

It appears to be a fan extractor system in a case, the fan is controlled by the printer, but other than that...... ?

 

Shame the price is so high as i like the concept

    Its not worth it. It doesnt even have a carbon filter in it to take care of VOCs. If I were you Id just buy a decent air purifier for half the price and call it a day. I have the air manager on my S5 but I still use an air purifier.

    thx, i have a air purifier in the room and open the window etc when printing anything nasty. It feels like a blatant money grab based on the makeup of the air manager itself.  Unless there is some sort of gold leaf inside to make it work 🙂

        Temperature status. During print preparation, the temperatures of the print cores and build plate will be shown on the display. This gives a better indication of the progress and remaining wait time. Save log files in paused state. It is now possible to save the printer's log files to USB if the currently active print job is paused. Previously, the Dump logs to USB option was only enabled if the printer was in idle state. Confirm print removal via Digital Factory. If the printer is connected to the Digital Factory, it is now possible to confirm the removal of a previous print job via the Digital Factory interface. This is useful in situations where the build plate is clear, but the operator forgot to select Confirm removal on the printer’s display. Visit this page for more information about this feature.
