Looks impressive, but not $4K worth of impressive.

To print or, 3D print, that is the question...
SD3 printer w/too many mods,  Printrbot Simple Maker Ed.,  FormLabs Form 1+
AnyCubic Photon, Shining 3D EinScan-S & Atlas 3D scanners...
...and too much time on my hands.

um, that is NOT Z Morph 3D's website - that is a re-seller page... Micromark is a store with lots of great stuff, I have purchased diamond dust engraving bits and other items from them over the years.

this is the actual Z Morph page: https://zmorph3d.com/products/zmorph-2-0-sx

that said.. it looks interesting, but not for that cost..
it is basically nothing more than a Prusa style printer with interchangeable heads & an enclosure.. and how well each head works is open for debate...

Personally, I don't understand the need to have an "all in one" setup. The only "advantage" i can see is space saving.

CNC work is MESSY! it creates a lot of debris that can cause problems if you don't have a way of cleaning it up as it is created (ESPECIALLY on a Prusa type machine).

Lasers need proper cooling, venting, and shielding to prevent possible personal injury - I don't see that with this thing...

With the increasing popularity of both small CNC and Laser engravers, you can get one of each "purpose built" machine for far less cost than this has...
