  • It’s not just smaller, it also has limitations in materials it can print because it’s not an enclosed printer. The core one can print ABS/ASA much more reliably, PC, Nylon and other fancy stuff the A1 just can’t. Their motion systems are also completely different as the core one uses coreXY and the A1 is coreXZ (aka. bedslinger).

    A decent bedslinger is easy to come by these days, if that’s all you need there are many others to go with, e.g. Sovol which is using open source klipper.






  • The cost seems pretty obvious TBH…they’re subsidising their car industry to a much higher degree than European and American countries in order to achieve a greater market share and by extension control of large foreign car consumer markets. Given enough time, they will capture significant market shares in these markets due to artificially low prices outside of regular market competition.

    There’s of course also the general increased security risk of the Chinese government being plugged in to all the companies making these cars with black box software and always connected to the internet.


  • Why not? Pretty much everything except the roof structure is made of bricks. My house is entirely bricks; an outer and an inner wall separated by a gap with insulation, with a wooden skeleton for the roof secured to the brick walls. All interior walls are either made of bricks (the originals built with the house in the 60’s) or aerated concrete blocks (added in a refurbishing later in the 00’s).

    I have never in my 20 years of driving seen one with more than two digits, and I (unfortunately) have driven by them with +100km/h before and they absolutely flash at you (without showing numbers). I am fairly reluctant to believe your statements given my own experience.
