I’m currently using an Orbiter 1.5 and it’s pretty decent but I’m looking for an upgrade. I like the light style extruder sitting on the gantry over a Bowden system as it allows for flexible filament and has much better control over retraction.
Is the 2.0 a significant improvement over the 1.5? Should I get a new hotend as well with it?
Right now I’m using a MicroSwiss all metal hotend and am quite satisfied with it.
Print speed is okay I guess.
You are literally the first person that I have heard about who is satisfied with a microswiss hotend. Most people say it is overpriced and not very good compared to others (like the Dragon hotend)
Don’t know where you heard that but micro Swiss hotend has been really popular until dragon hotend came out. I’m not saying it is better than dragon but was known to work great. About prices, it might depend where you live as I just checked right now and dragon is more expensive than micro Swiss.
