Topic: PSA for XYZ machines.
By the time most of you read this it will be too late as you have already bought one and are looking to jailbreak, fix it or both.
In the event you are shopping and run across this post before buying please consider some things you may not know. The price on XYZ machines look very attractive and it is as they get you on the filament. Most of their machines use proprietary filament that is 25% higher priced that third party. To get around this you have to use paper tags and software to generate these tags. So keep that in mind.
The next issue is dependability. Some people have been lucky but by and large these machines are not well built and will need additional work and modifications to get them to print good. Notice I only said good. I had two XYZ machines myself and I could not get rid of them fast enough.
The next issue is parts and service. The only place to really get parts is from people that are parting theirs out. XYZ does not sell parts. Then come service. Again some have been lucky but in most cases they will require you to send the machine back to Taiwan at your cost.
Now don't get me wrong if you want a cheap machine then XYZ is it. But in this market and all seasoned veterans here will agree you get what you pay for. Don't by cheap machines. Save your money.
I just want people to be aware of the issues with XZY before they buy as I see so many post here with problems or needing parts or needing help hacking and so on with XYZ more than any other brand.
