@djsundog if this is a nuisance let me know, but I have questions about the orangestorm and you are the only person I know who has actually used one 😁

First off, if you were buying one today, would you get any of the add-ons they offer as a package?

@requiem no worries, happy to give you any answers I have!

I wouldn’t, with the possible exception of a second print head/extruder, not to use in tandem with the first, but to make swapping between the 0.6mm nozzle and the 1.0mm nozzle we got easier (just swap the whole head rather than the nozzle). (we did not get the second print head yet so I cannot guarantee it’s easier to swap than just swapping the nozzle, but that’s my bet.)

@djsundog cool, that makes sense.

What size (kg) spools do you use?

@requiem we got some 5kg spools that have been working out okay, running from the provided large spool holder, running a meter of filament up to a pulley and through the filament sensor, and then down a meter to the extruder and hotend. I’m not thrilled with the filament path being so dang long and triggering a runout pause with a meter of filament left stuck into the top of the extruder, but I haven’t come up with a preferred mode of operation that’s not that yet haha
