More expensive than some might expect - yes. Catrastrophic? Wouldn't say so. As far as I know it's the only one in the consumer market that goes up to 110°C (others are way below), that can hold larger spools and can also be used for annealing and such due to it's space and construction. I guess the thing that makes it more expensive is a) the double insulation and b) that the electronics and everything has to withstand such higher temperatures. Even many food dehydrators don't go above 90°C. We shouldn't forget that this isn't really for the typical person that just prints PLA, PETG, TPU, ABS. This is for people who print often materials like Nylon and such. For such people the higher temperature can make a huge difference. But I would expect that it settles down at the 279 price point after some time. I highly doubt that it will really be at 349 for long.
I really like the first one that holds 4. The stuff I print only really needs that one.
Happy new year Jeremy, never knew you were a DOOM fan
Hey, Jeremy. Happy New Year.
Happy new year!
10:35 DOOM!
The price is catostrophic...not sure if I'll buy it, especially since it only holds two rolls.
Yeah it's expensive. It'll hold two regular rolls, or a single 2kg or 3kg roll.

Pretty sure it's because of the certifications they need for temp that goes above 70c
@Leif_YT: That’s exactly why I bought it, I really needed something that goes above 70.
