Fourth try on a print. Tried to add some adhesive to the bed to get it to stick better. Watched the first two layers and went to bed. Woke up to a printer on strike.

They’re a bit too reliant on the cloud and the event where „their” printers (that the users both and were using at their homes) re-printed last job because of some server issue was a bit concerning. And definitely the fact that if your printer does have issues you can’t fix/calibrate much without them is alarming to me. I’m using a K1 which might need some work but it’s manageable. If I were looking to upgrade I’d probably get Qidi Q1 Pro - same price ballpark as K1 or P1S, while the features it has seem to be closer to X-series
