The single best feature is the open-source nature of the printer almost any modification can be made or parts added changed as you want you just need the time and parts (which usually can be found almost anywhere).
You'll need a few parts and a firmware upgrade but it can be added. They do have a few different versions but the main difference is the option for using two extruders at the same time, mind your it can be added later to the BigBox if desired. Now you can order this printer completely built and tested but it adds $750 (£450) to the price and due to the fragile nature of Acrylic will only ship it with the plywood frame. in case you weren't adding that up it comes to just over $2000 and remember this is for the parts only it's like Ikea ' some assembly required' but with a lot more parts! I purchased the BigBox-Pro-kit $ 1500 (£895) and upgraded to an Acrylic frame $165 (£99) added the Octoprint upgrade $125 (£75) and lastly decide to purchase the slicing software package with Simplif圓D $160 (£95). The printer can be ordered in several configurations and in the middle of waiting for my order they released the 'Titan' Extruder $75 (£45) which meant I had to spend some more money to include it as an upgrade to my purchase but since the printer hadn't shipped yet I at least had no extra shipping costs. I admit they were in the middle of trying to ship printers to all the Kickstarter backers (and were perhaps a little disorganized) hopefully after the back-log has been shipped out wait times will actually be in the 4 week range mentioned on the pre-order page! 3/2016 and it arrived on May 26/2016 (fours months). Now pre-order has a strange definition as you need to pay the full purchase price then wait patiently until they deliver the product which in my case took several months I Pre-ordered mine on Feb.
Like a lot of products this one started on ' Kickstarter' I was not able to purchase mine from that successfully campaign but I was able to Pre-order direct from the BigBox website. E3D and LittleBox have 15 years of 3D printing experience between them and have poured that know-how into designing a 3D printer that meets the specifications that they demand in a 3D printer. Two renowned companies in the maker scene have teamed up to bring a whole new experience of 3D printing.
Presented in a neat, clutter free package with an easy to use toolchain. It combines immense print resolution, huge print volume and an extrusion system capable of almost every material on the market. The BigBox is a no-compromises, high specification 3D printer.
