      Hi,

      im thinking about buying a Modix printer (https://www.modix3d.com/big-120z/) for my company and im looking for someone who has used one and wants to share some experiences.

      I like the machine mainly because its using duet and all advantages that come with it, but I also heard some weird stuff that mainly has to do with the fact that it comes in a kit.

      one supplier also told me that it supposedly took 2 people 10 days to build it which sounds a bit much.

      anyway I'd love to hear from some of you who made good or bad experiences with it 🙂

      Cheers F.

        @sungod3k if you enter Modix in the search box on this forum, you fill find posts which mention Modix printers. You could try sending direct messages to the authors of those posts.

          I've only worked on a Big Meter from Modix. It's a solid construction. There were some questionable design decisions for a printer of that size which require overcoming to get good results. But otherwise seemed high quality. For the size and cost it's a good foundation to tweak and build on.

              The frame is actually quite stable once the side panels are all on.

              The print head mounting leaves something to be desired. It's rather large, long, and heavy, and mounted on one side of a rail. There is considerable twist and it swings like a pendulum. Slow cornering only.
