    We have an airwolf axiom dual. Out of the two nozzles one will drewal with most and maybe all resins while the other nozzle is being used. There are multiple features to help with this problem but none of them solve the bad results with strands of material whispered and globed onto the part. Not often but multiple times for every part. When a nozzle runs into that glob the head bends and snaps back in place most of the time. This video shows two nozzles but only one is being used. Even on the print in this video look at the wall being printed. On one axis the wall is solid and on another axis the wall is hollow. Now look at the nozzle being used in this video. It is covered with resin because the nozzle smears the resin around due to the large flat end of the nozzle design. We have other printers and none of them get the nozzle dirty because they don’t use the unprecise smear technique. I have machined down a nozzle to a point with only a .010 step shoulder, so I wouldn’t loose heat at the tip and to stop the smearing. This helped but the resolution of our printer is not good at all and I found that one pass of the nozzle would lay a line and the next line would not bond to the first well at all. I bought Simplified3D slicing software (this software gives you true complete control over your printer but get ready to study to understand what everything does and a lot of experimentation). With this software I did some adjustments to get the two lines I printed to bond very well and have little resin build up on the nozzle. But if there is build up then eventually you will have a glob of resin stick to your part and the nozzle will be dragging a slime around your part as the printer prints. That is what the original nozzles are designed to do I believe, Smear the resin flat. The nozzles are made of aluminum and when the nozzles wipes over the cleaning brush it turns the nozzle hole into an oval. I looked at the nozzle tip under a low powered microscope, but that is not really needed to see with but it helped to see all the scratches and groves the brush created. To prevent this we made nozzles out of tool steal and had them hardened to an extreme high rock well. But this messes with the heat transfer rate, hence the aluminum nozzles. There are other problems with this printer, I have spent 8+ hrs. a day for a couple of months trying to get this printer to work good enough for a R&D tool in our work in virement but failed miserably. Good thing? AirWolf will keep working with you with to try to get it to work to your expatiations until your nose bleads. Thank you AirWolf, your really good about that. But I’m sad to say the drewal, poor resolution, machine breaking, nozzles getting ruined almost every couple of prints due to that cleaning brush, the nozzles getting covered almost every print with resin, the blobs of resin sticking to your part as it builds up on the nozzles as seen in the video (dirty nozzle), the water wash away material not really washing away but leaving a gooey mess, The filament needing to be kept in containers with deskin (drying material) to help keep dry but even doing that we have to use a filament dryer to help with bubbles popping out of the nozzles ruining that part of the print, keeping the glass build platform clean enough to print (hard to clean after multiple uses), The screws holding the nozzles on can get stripped out so easily, and your slicing software not really having enough options to give true professional control over your printer, and just not being ready yet for a commercial R&D application. The saddest part is the printer now sits in a box with a lot of supplies in our warehouse collecting dust. We have use a Uprint 3D printer, it is slow use to break down a lot but modified so it does not do that anymore, expensive material, and the printer is expensive. But the printer stays clean and prints truly good resolution parts. Our primary printers are now the (FormLabs 2 ). This printer has taken us by surprise. The quality of the print is outstanding. But I recommend to get the cleaning station and definitely get the curing station (almost required to get a strong none sticky part). And absolutely buy the extended warranty. Ours has had multiple issues but primarily due to Fed-Ex damaging the printer during shipment. But with the extended warranty, if our machine breaks they have sent out another printer extremely fast to replace the broken printer with no cost to use, they even pay for shipping. Their tech help is outstanding, I call and they have answered, replied very fast and will work for your until your problem is fixed. I DO NOT REPRESENT ANY 3D PRINTER COMPANY NORE GET PAID BY ANYONE THAT EVEN RELATES TO THIS REVIEW. I have just had a lot of experience with the AirWolf Axiom dual printer and hate to see a new person investing such a large amount of money for a beginner, being they do not have money to throw around. 3D printing is amazing tech. and has given us ways to create new amazing things in such a short amount of time. Good luck to all you 3D printing people out there. AirWolf, Keep up trying to make a good machine but please don’t over state whet they really can do.

    This appears miraculous! Simply cannot hide my anticipation to observe similar to this. Great job.

    So....where are the metal examples? Plastic examples don't look that great tbh.

      I agree that the parts don't look that great for the price of that printer. I can get better quality on my custom 3d printer. Yeah, that coin looked like garbage. They should have never shown that off.

    "These parts are 3D-printed" - Yes, we can tell. They look as shit as expected from a plastics pisser because, hey, "Post-processing, what is this? Isn't 3D printing meant to be the be-all, end-all of manufacturing? What did you say? It's not? Oh …"

    Wow, marketing bullshitspeak pouring out of every pore of his body. And i mean by all reason he has a decent device there but it's just so nauseating, way to miss the mark. Did he use to sell shitty used cars by any chance? Oh those aren't bulletholes, those are aerodynamic vents!
    Oh wait a second... when he says he's a car guy, perhaps that's what he means.
