The perfect printer doesn't exist, yet, but the Vivedino Marathon may come close! It has a large build volume, is fully enclosed, with independent dual extruders (IDEX), running Klipper firmware. In this video I interview the designer of what could be the next best 3D printer. Dr. Dan Marinescu walks us through the details of this printer and provides valuable insights into the design process, including considerations of cost and performance.
