Service Announcement - Reference Printer Model Update (Patreon)

Hey friends,

Seeing as Black Friday sale is just around the corner, I think it's the best time for us to announce that we'll stop using ELEGOO Mars 2 as a reference printer for our models as of January.

What does it mean?

When we cut and presupport models, we always make sure that every piece can fit into ELEGOO Mars 2. Frankly, considering the scale of our models (1/8), half the time it's very inconvenient and requires us to make suboptimal orientation or alternative cuts just because a piece is 1cm longer to fit into the printer. I know that some of you have older printer models similar in size to Mars 2, but I'm afraid we can't support legacy printers forever.

What model will we use instead?

Our new reference printer will be ELEGOO Mars 3. It's not a new model, but it's a popular one that many people possess. The printing volume is noticeably larger compared to Mars 2, which should help with most of our issues.

When will the change happen?

We'll make the change as of January 2024. Until then, we'll continue to ensure pre-supported pieces of all our models can fit into ELEGOO Mars 2.

Cheers!
