Extra features	The UltiMaker S7 printer features a series of technological innovations to enhance 3D printing. It incorporates a flexible, magnetic build plate with PEI coating, promoting better adhesion and easier part removal. Its new inductive sensor significantly improves bed leveling, ensuring perpendicular and accurate prints. In addition, the S7 has a higher quality camera for remote monitoring, an integrated air filter, and uses a unique glass door to maintain a constant temperature in the print chamber. The machine is also compatible with the expansion kit for metal printing.	The Bambu Lab X1 Carbon revolutionizes 3D printing with stunning design, high print speeds, and a streamlined user experience. It stands out with its CoreXY system, a hotend capable of reaching 300°C, allowing for a wide range of filaments. Its LiDAR-assisted bed leveling system, vibration compensation, and AMS multicolor printing capability raise the industry standard. Print quality is impressive, with the ability to fine-tune for perfection. The X1 Carbon, with its closed build volume, not only promises but also delivers one of the most advanced 3D printing experiences available to consumers.
