Quote from: Andy M on October 11, 2025, 11:44:59So now I am torn between thinking if this is a really well made scam or a legit product...

I also saw it and I was on my way to give a shot then I remembered something:

A few years ago (it may be 2022) there was a company kickstarting a new 3D Printer, with some super high printing speeds, ai webcam overwatch and other stuff for like 800€ (tax excl. cause kickstarter?). Everyone was like "you have to get this one". I didn't bought it, cause I thought "if it is really that great and works like that long enough, I have to wait and others will make products like this, too."
While they where shipping their forst "Next gen printers", a new kickstarter poped up, promising the same speed but for way less money.
And now?
Go to your favorite 3D printer store and get one.

I know it looks good, but let's be realistic:
- They are milling alu in one their videos. Great right? ... yeah nobody tells you about the tensile strength of it: It coud easily range from 100 to 570 N/mm². Standard steel for steel construction is at 370 N/mm². Let's just guess it's at the lower end, because it's a lot easier.
- If you are from the US: TAXES!
- If anything breaks it would be a pain in the a** to fix it, cause that warranty could be nothing more than a false promise in the end.
- The software is as important as the hardware, it might run well on windows, but you can only dream of mac os or linux.

I for myself are still interested in buying one from a local shop, also to get two years of limited warranty.

I have also seen all the ads for the Maxmake Himill on different social media channels.

I was about to back it but I wanted to make sure that the company is legit first.

On their website, they sell different products in a shopify shop, like for example a laser cutter mashine.

The problem I have is: There is NO 3rd party information about the laser cutter or other mashines that they actively sell on their site.

I looked all over the internet and even on chinese media like bilibili (chinese youtube) but there is no information to be found.

So now I am torn between thinking if this is a really well made scam or a legit product...

Nicht nur für Kunststoffe: Mit dem HiMill D1 und D1S lassen sich Herstelleragaben zufolge verschiedene Materialien mit hoher Präzision und mehr oder weniger automatisch bearbeiten. Der Preis soll dabei besonders gering sein und das System für Privatnutzer attraktiv werden lassen.
