New toy on order...

[Romain / rXg]

Hi James, thank you for the input  . :)
I had an eye already on the Prusa i3 mk2, it seems definitely a good
printer.
But I am really curious about the Anycubic ic3 Mega that Joost will get ...
The thing missing IMO  on the Anycubic ( as on the Prusa) is a case when
you want to print ABS ...
But I may have already a solution for this issue in my place.
I watched few reviews on the Anycubic , and they all seems good ..
Also I really like the resume from power loss and the filament sensor ...
All those for a killing price ...
I start to think that I may be more excited than Joost waiting for its
package to arrive ... lol
