We received a pre-release edition to review, and it was the most amazing machine we have ever seen. We have recieved and already sold out our first two shipments, with limited places left on the next; so please do get on the list as soon as possible. Deliveries are every 3-4 weeks.
The build area expands to 28 x 25 x 30cm, it has WiFi, a heated bed, is fully enclosed and prints to 80 micron (although 200 micron on this thing is better than any 100 I have ever seen, so 80 microns is just amazing.
The threaded rods have been switched out for ball screws, and the bed is now aluminum.

FlashPrint software is very easy to use, and has many parameters not available in similar software like Makerbot Desktop or UP!
New to Version 3.7.1 - Great new leading features
Support Generation features - You can generate the new "Tree Support" style automatically, or choose linear (block) supports. If the automatic supports need some help, you can manually add or remove them! I've drawn in some support in the image above, right.
Cut - You can now cut the model in FlashPrint without resorting to doing so in other software, then bringing in the parts. You can choose to cut along the X, Y or Z plane, as in NetFabb, or you can draw a plane with your mouse (as I have done, above, left). On a twin extruder machine you can then select different extruders for different parts of the model, or with a single extruder machine, use it to cut the model and just print a top section to glue on when a print has been interrupted part way through.

Pause At Height - Create one or more points where you would like the printer to pause. This means that the printer will pause when it gets to this height, allowing you to swap filament for a different colour or type.
Turn 2D images to 3D models - Just drag your image in to the software, set parameters and there is your model! You can save it as a .stl file as well.
Specs
