One feature I definitely want is auto-leveling. I hope it softens the learning curve at least a little bit.
I mean it wouldn't even be so hard if they just put a small level bubble and just 3 points of contact so you don't have to worry about the center being convex or concave
This is one thing that just boggles my mind about 3d printers.
How the fuck has no printer maker figured out that four points don't always make a flat surface? This shits like one of the most basic concepts of mechanical engineering, and yet it appears to be completely absent from 3d printing. Apparently no one in the industry has ever heard even of it.
