   This site is pretty cool.
5. But can it print magnetizable metal?
   I want to print my own cricuit boards and fabrication machines.
6. I should have bought 3 of these instead of my Ultimaker 2+. Really.
7. You forgot that it can print with 4Different colors if you buy the upgrade!
8. good video explaining the advantages os this 3d printer, i need infrmation like this before trying to buy my first 3d printer, because in latin america they have high price range and it is a big big big chunk of your pocket, my questikn is the following, can this printer handle recycled filament? and can it handle recycled PET plastic filament? i ask this because filaments can also mean a lot of money, and if i can find a good way to recyce different types of plastic in to filaments for 3d printng, it will help a lot to develop 3d printing comunity in latin america.

9. 899$ for an open printer is a good price?LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL
10. Its a bit over the 500 euro i wanted to spend on a 3d printer but i guess it will be worth it to save some money until summer and get one then instead of buying some china knockoff
11. Where can I see the results of the Shootout test prints and the slicer settings that were used to produce them?
12. How does Flux all in one 3d printer compare to this?
13. When we will have 3D printer that's so reliable, good quality and accessible by most people and easy to choose like choosing a laptop/smartphone and a common different price point represent different quality 3D printer you will get? And does 3D printer still in rapidly change or already in mature condition? If I'm a self learner and really into invention, build stuff, DIY, is it time for me to buy a 3D printer now or I should wait another bit of time? I really want a 3D printer won't outdated just within a year like some of previous models, andI wish it come with laser embed and so on.
14. I have the original prusa i3 and I think it's ok even though I've had a lot of trouble with it. The print quality is decent but it some times fails badly and also the software glitches sometimes. Also the assembly instructions were really hard to follow because sometimes the guy on the video did it wrong him/herself and it was really annoying. That's why it's really hard to trust this. If someone has this printer on the video could you please tell if you have liked it or not. Also my printer head is now clogged really badly and I can't clear it.
15. Great news prusa finaly sent me my lcd controler.Maby they arn't as bad as i thought.
16. You are lucky as my printer came with a controler that did not work. i spoke to the 3 times and each time they promised to send a new one but did not. the last time i spoke with them they said there was no record fo it. i have a big paperweight on my desk
17. Besides the Carbon M1 is there a printer that can use material that can be the final product. Not sure if im asking this question the right way. but i do not just want a brittle weak prototype. I want to be able to make end user products for myself. like a laptop stand or etc.
18. At this price point the Anet A8 suddenly looks more attractive. At least for someone who's not sure how often he will use it after making a few hardware parts and the odd movie model.
19. those that i see keep saying you can buy them cheaper, like $200, all i can say is u dont buy a reliant robin and expect it to drive like a rolls roys
20. This printer can't be the best overall 3D printer for 2017, there are much better built printers, some at lower pricing. What a joke MAKE magazine., your better than this.
