But I can safely say we are dealing with professional equipment and well thought out product. The 3D printer came to us just two weeks ago, so my experience with it is rather low. As far as both versions are different from each other – I do not know? What I know for sure is that given the price of this device, it is without a doubt the best consumer 3D printer I have ever come across. There is no mystery or controversy here – Kodama Inc., the creator of Trinus is a partner of Panowin Technologies Co., Ltd. At first glance it looks the same as Trinus – $ 1.6 million winner of last year’s Kickstarter campaign. Panowin F1 is a self-assembled 3D printer. Until finally I hit the Panowin F1 and my view on this matter has completely changed… 3D printers should be expensive – unless they are made in China… Then everything starts to look different… However, I still had a feeling that cheap devices are anyway worse than those sold at the price of a few thousand Euros. Last year made me slowly change my approach… On the market, more and more incredibly inexpensive 3D printers began to appear, not only successfully printing, but their manufacturers were doing pretty well, successively extending the offer. The same happened with international companies – Pirates3D, TIKO, or Peachy Printer are symbols of mismatching the price of the device to their announced capabilities as well as market expectations. The following years only confirmed my theory – all Polish companies attempting to conquer the market with cheap 3D printers (Idea Lab, Pirx, 3NOVATICA, Jelwek), have either ceased operations, either tightened it up or completely changed, focusing on other business areas. The demand for this type of devices is still relatively small, so is the sale, and at the same time, the high margins will ensure a stable growth of the 3D printers manufacturer and protect it from financial troubles. As far as I remember, I always claimed that 3D printers should be expensive.
