Dremel 3D Printer

while surfing on internet I came across this printer and I asked myself, "why a great company like Dremel has need to produce this low technology 3D printer?"

For me is marketing, because Dremel is synonymous of self constructed things and pretend of selling an 3D printer, whatever it is, leads one to think that the company is in step with the times.

And what do you think about it?

    Well, the printer is about a year behind the times, supports only PLA with a smallish build volume and low temperatures, and isn't actually available yet from any of the stated resellers, unless a search for "dremel 3d" misses it somehow. Oh yeah, and the "5-star" "reviews" do not actually exist.

    Pure pre-release hype at this point, and for a behind-the-times product at that.

    Perfect? Lots of luck with that when you're talking with their call center in India about using any other brand of PLA, or find that 230C maximum doesn't work...

    dremel will either be totally put off with their first experiences with this printer... OR.. will learn a lot fast and come back with something better soon... hopefully the second of course...

      • S-Line Firmware 8.3.0 was released Nov. 20th on the "Latest" firmware branch.
        (Sorry, was out of office when this released)

        This update is for...
        All UltiMaker S series  
        New features
         
        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.
