Our take
Why it is interesting: The M1D combines two designs. As with an IDEX printer, it has two independently moving heads that print two parts at the same time in copy or mirror mode. In addition, as with a tool changer, it has six swappable print heads, so each colour has its own nozzle and, according to Sovol, almost no purge waste is produced. There is no comparable printer in the wiki so far.
The prices in the EU shop carry no “incl. VAT” note. The figures above are the shop prices as displayed.
