Overview / comparison of desktop Idex printers
Most of you should know that the X40 community homepage is about Idex printers, i.e. printers that have two independent print heads. Since we are independent and not financed by advertising or sponsors, we can easily think outside the box at Weedo.
We would like to present and compare alternative Idex printers with a construction platform of 300 x 300 mm for less than EUR 1000. If the manufacturer's information is incomplete, we have added a question mark.
