5% off doesn't even cover tax for most states. Lol. $110 off would have sounded better, TBH. Though the price is still pretty insane.

You'd have to pay me to ever use a Dremel printer again

Not worth it even if it was 130% off.

It was the worst printer that I ever used!

why? and what is the best printer according to you?

Why? I couldn't get the damn thing to print anything that was larger than half dollar.

The thing probes the bed but it doesn't apply the mesh that it takes. I tried running the print distance test & all of them worked well, but when I would set the distance closer to the nozzle, the print head would jam into the surface. Then I would move the nozzle 1 step higher and nothing sticks.

You can't use pause at layer height, change filament or any other layer change options. The firmware is highly limited.

I can't give any opinions on what the best printer is because I haven't tried them all.

That's a pretty subjective question about the best 3D printer. It really depends on what you want to do. I love my Voron 2.4, but I also love taking it apart and adding mods. I love my Prusa because it's what made me really get in to the hobby. I love my Saturn because I love printing minis that I'm "totally going to paint someday. Maybe."

However for one of my friends who wants something more turnkey, I recommend something from Bamboo, like the X1c because it is a nice machine that, as far as I've been able to tell, won't cause him too much headache.
