3D PRINTER COMPARISON FUSION3 F410 VS. ZORTRAX M300 PLUS
Zotrax’s latest large FDM 3D printer is the Zortrax M300 Plus. Zotrax is known for building 3D printers that print very pretty parts, very slowly.
Take a look a the comparison table below. You’ll see for yourself that the USA-Made Fusion3 F410, at $4,599 USD, is a much better value with:
- Larger print area, 14″ x 14″ x 12.4″
- Prints a wider variety of engineering-grade plastics
- Ability to purchase filament from multiple vendors (must purchase Zotrax material at inflated prices)
- Longer warranty and more robust support (Zortrax’s US support only provided by the reseller)
