Purchased the Creality 10S Pro V2 six months ago on special for around US$400.
Been a great workhorse and has all the extras included, like BL Touch, metal drives, thermal runaway etc.

Having a break from pinball for a while, so started printing out a full size R2D2.

About 18KG PLA+, 4KG ABS, 1KG TPU and around 2,000+ print hrs later, I can finally get to the painting and installing motor drives stage.

Some prints were 40+hrs, so occasionally watched on my phone from work on a cheap security camera pointing at the bed and using a Wi-Fi power adaptor to kill power if a nozzle blockage, or if a print gets knocked over which happened a couple of times.

Electric heater used whilst I was home to bring room temperature up to 30C (86F) for ABS only.

I really do need to get back to pinball though

Ben & Bud just did a review on the Anycubic Vyper printer. You may want to skip some of the ramblings

I like the look of the auto leveling head and magnetic bed for the price.
