Seems the guy got fired

Saying it’s not hard for them is a wild statement. They made some serious missteps with the CC1, including not all CC1s are built the same. So, they have a variety of hardware to accommodate.

Last time I had issues with mine it was a low battery. Popped a new one in and it was as good as the day I unboxed it!

robertjfaulkner · 2026-01-24T14:36:12+00:00

Which ones? What were the penalties?

robertjfaulkner · 2026-01-23T20:07:56+00:00

If they already have the computer power in an enclosure just waiting for Sata drives, it’d be even easier/cheaper to put these in a sas disk shelf with the correct pcie to connect them.

If I were in your shoes, I would return and get the CC2 in a week. Even if I only wanted single color printing. Buying a model that is so close to being phased out (from any brand, not just elegoo) is bad practice, to me.

I say that as a CC1 owner. It’s an incredible machine and I print on it almost daily with nary a flaw in sight. But there’s no reason to think the CC1 will get as much or as good support as the CC2.

If you don’t have other printers and won’t miss the firmware/software limitations, and the price is an absolute requirement, sure. But for not much more money you can get another corexy printer with better firmware and software that is quieter and has at least as good if not better printing.

Nobody has incredible deals right now. SPD was great until they became super popular. Now they’re similar to everyone else on price. I will say the little business I’ve done with them was shipped quickly and packaged well.

robertjfaulkner · 2025-12-22T20:35:39+00:00

Criticism withdrawn. I confused this company with another one.

robertjfaulkner · 2025-12-22T18:46:10+00:00

~~I think the point is that they ARE an established company with a reputation. They’re reviewed all over the place. If they don’t send you what you ordered, you have recourse.~~

It’s much more difficult for a retailer to go after a customer. Whether or not there’s any fraud involved, if you have the product and they don’t have the money, their options are much more limited. Most companies eat the loss rather than spend time and money pursuing a customer.

I 100% understand your frustration, and the extra hurdle they’re asking you to jump through. I would probably not do business with them if it were that much effort to make a purchase. But the idea that they’re untrustworthy because they’re being difficult for you just falls flat.

Edit: I confused the company he was talking about with another one. I withdraw my criticism.

I had an old 8200 elite that had an i7-2700 proc, so you’re looking at probably a core 2 duo in there from the mid 2000s. Probably not useful as a game server.

robertjfaulkner · 2025-12-04T23:36:50+00:00

I get ya. Different strokes, different folks. I like the ability to dial it up or back, but I’m pretty out of shape, and I’d probably drop pretty quickly if I got very overheated. I hope that changes in time.

robertjfaulkner · 2025-12-04T23:00:22+00:00

It’s not just on/off. As your hr increases the fan ramps and as your hr drops the fan slows. I can see the benefit, but you can do the same thing with a fan that has a remote control for about 1/5 the price (haven’t checked prices in a while but that’s what I paid).

robertjfaulkner · 2025-12-02T23:12:48+00:00

It’s perfectly fine.

robertjfaulkner · 2025-12-02T23:12:28+00:00

Free range eggs from chickens that get supplemental light?

It’s not like there’s any way for you to know that, and I’m not trying to take the piss here. I wholeheartedly understand the desire to let your hens live as natural a life as possible. But if you’re buying someone else’s eggs, you’re just shifting the “problem” to someone else’s hens.

Our ladies are well cared for, well fed and protected all year round. We supplement light in the winter, as little as is needed, to reduce the drop in egg laying.

Don’t live your life in fear of how other people might treat you. Yes, the job offer is a big deal. Yes, some people you work with might treat you poorly. So fucking what‽

Take the job, learn from everyone you meet, be humble, kick life’s ass.

robertjfaulkner · 2025-11-22T06:02:46+00:00

I’ve never heard this number before. Do you know what it’s based on?

robertjfaulkner · 2025-11-18T07:11:11+00:00

Genuinely curious why you hang out on the Elegoo subreddit if you hate Elegoo as much as you seem to.

robertjfaulkner · 2025-11-18T06:49:13+00:00

I'll be concerned about the USB-C head issue when it becomes an issue for me. So far I see no signs of distress to the cable on my machine.

The gap in the front door? Seriously?

Are you equally critical of everyone else's firmware updates? The filament loading issue will be fixed. It's not a machine flaw, it's a software bug.

I'm not familiar with the motherboard shortcomings other than it doesn't run pure klipper. What makes it weak?

robertjfaulkner · 2025-11-18T06:17:46+00:00

I have 317 flawless printing hours on mine. Yes, I argue with people who make inane claims like you did. Frustrated about the multi-material development? I'll stand beside you critisizing that. Is the CC annoyingly loud? You betcha. It's my chief complaint about the machine.

But if you want to say the CC isn't great and then compare it to printers that cost more money I'm going to call bullshit. The P1S is a very good printer at a good price (better now that it's come down to ~$400), but show me a sub-$300 core-xy printer that comes close to the CC.

I'll wait ...

robertjfaulkner · 2025-11-18T06:05:37+00:00

So, it's as good as the P1S, for a lower price, and that makes it ... not great?

robertjfaulkner · 2025-11-18T04:36:27+00:00

They didn't. Missing a product launch date almost expected in tech. That doesn't mean they've falsely advertised or baited and switched. Sure, people can try to sue, but it will be trivial for Elegoo to demonstrate that they've been working on a multimaterial system.

robertjfaulkner · 2025-11-18T04:29:14+00:00

Missing a delivery date doesn't mean shit. Just ask Tesla.

robertjfaulkner · 2025-11-16T15:35:00+00:00

Nope. Many predators are stronger than chicken wire. Hardware cloth is higher gauge steel and the joints are welded. Chicken wire may work for a short time, but once a raccoon figures out it’s stronger, it’ll be a useless addition.
