@nomukaiki: Thanks, meanwhile I did order an Troodon 300 too. I will upgrade to DDE, but good to hear that the machine is working nice out of the box!

Given that there is currently no working firmware beyond 3.0 I don't think the troodon would be a good choice.

What would be your choice for the given needs?

custom duet board. this could potentialy mean that you will need to replace it at some point with a duet 3 + toolboard. (or duet 3 mini 5 + addonboard). this will require a little bit of tinkering, mainly switching connector housing and re crimping a few ends.

Honestly I have limited knowledge of 3D printer hardware. I think I could manage some tinkering with a community in the background where there are "guides" on how-to. In case of the Troodon I have the feeling it's hard to find other users who could help a newbie. Why will I have to change the board? And, maybe silly question, but what's wrong in using FW 3.0? Is that one buggy?

Sorry for getting off-topic.
I consider the Formbot Troodon to be my next 3D printer. I actually have some experience with the Snapmaker 2.0. I'm looking for a machine wit x/y core, large build volume, enclosure,..
But I'm mainly looking for a machine, that is working without much tinkering.

Is the Troodon that machine?
I meanwhile found out, that there is no support concerning firmware from the company. I'm not afraid of doing some guided software updates, but that's it.
