[QUOTE="Pictodent-SW18, post: 349148, member: 20498"] I had the same thought when I bought our Max UV early 2021. I couldn't believe how expensive it still was and thought that with the pace of technological progress these days, this might be too much money for such an old design. The positive reviews made me buy it though. I have not regretted a single ££. I had a Form 2 before. When you lift up an Asiga, it's like twice the weight to the bigger Formlabs. It's built completely different and appears bulletproof. The reliability is outstanding (99% hollow model prints). I won't be going back. This printer will still print fine models in 2027 and beyond. Yes in some ways it looks dated (I'm not in love the nesting software) other makers might have caught up by then but right now it does exactly what I need, printing models quickly and reliably. It has made it's money back after a year in my case. About two Max UV vs. 4K: As far as I see it, two Max cost less for slightly more build platform real estate compared to the 4K, plus added redundancy when things go wrong or if you want to print different materials. But I have experienced how reliable they are so the redundancy case seems less important to me now [/QUOTE]
