Blatant Ultimaker2 copy

[xeno 108]

It seems Joysmaker is at it again, and have now copied the Ultimaker2

Nah, the front panel is innovatively different =)

And the heated bed is different and it's bigger??

Really wonder if they have the same print quality as a real one

No glass plate. Different sliderblocks (that do not tension the belts)

Especially the lack of a glass plate is going to be a pain. The alu plate bends and scratches easy.

Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery?

Well it's open source so I don't see any reason to get upset about it.

AFAIK Ultimaker issues non-commercial licenses...

 

[IRobertI 521]

Right you are, my bad.

btw: @IRobertI: Congrats to your 2000th post... :-P

I can't say that the price looks very appealing to me. $1500 + shipping + customs seems like a lot, I'm not sure I'd want to take the QA risk for that.

On the other hand, as a source of spare parts it might have value, UM customer service and spare part pricing being what they are.
