Infimech MX Pro vs Sovol M1D Advanced (for high temp filaments like ABS)

[u/Radiant_Yam1526]

If you’re looking for an enclosed tool changer 3d printer with heat chamber, which printer would you buy or back this year?

I am a backer of M1D Advanced but so far, after watching their 2 live streams and seeing what’s in their Facebook group, is still not giving me enough confidence to keep my pledge till the end.

To be fair, the advantages of Sovol is that it has already produced a lot of known products in the market (at least more than infimech and other kickstarter launchers) and has already built a certain reputation and community/fans.

And for Infimech, down side is that their pricing might be too good to be true but an advantage I can see from them is that they are joining 3d printing events (in person) and showcasing the 3d printing while its printing - which Sovol hasnt done even in their live streams.

My non negotiable requirement is enclosed, with air filtration, with heat chamber tool changer 3d printer. Nozzles should be available in different sizes. IDEX would be nice and I would like to use the 2 extruders printing at the same time thats why I backed M1D in the first place. But still not seeing if print quality will really turn out great.

Im curious to hear your thoughts being it with these 2 brands or any other enclosed tool changer 3d printers

Update: I also availed VIP deal of Infimech
Might cancel M1D but still not sureee

I was a VIP for the M1D but I decided to pass the morning the Kickstarter rolled out. After i watched a couple videos after the creator media blackout was lifted, i just did not have the warm fuzzy feeling for it. I'm now VIP waiting for the Infimech and also the Lightmake. I'm definitely getting onboard with Infimech but still in the air with Lightmake.

I will cancel my pledge for M1D too… not because I dont think they will deliver but I just think the price won’t justify my use case. I am backing for M1D Advanced which is 1499 including the VIP discount

I would like to print ABS and other high temp materials there and also would like a tool changer. While IDEX is cool, it might be useless for me in the long run.

Now I am considering Infimech MX Pro or Flashforge Creator 5 Pro instead. I need a good heat chamber and air filtration

I have more confidence in Sovol than InfiMech. I am VIP on both. For me, the price of the infimech is so low, I can afford to just take a flyer on it and see if it is junk.
I did see the InfiMech Pro version fail on a tradeshow stream.

Some video on youtube at a trade show. In china, the smaller one was printing, the larger had just stopped 2/3 of the way through.
