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...
