Hi All,
After deciding to buy an M200 from a local reseller (inspired by the availability of Z-ESD and Z-ASA), i dicovered (just in time) that the M200 Plus was introduced with additional Z-Semiflex capability.

Thank you for your first impressions Roel. I'd love to see some pictures of the bearing, one-thick spiral-mode tube etc. Kind Regards, - David Barwin
Fantastic! Thank you!
Hello,
Thank you for these first returns.
One question : I just saw that the filament goes through a case on the back of the printer that controls "Material End Detection".
What happens if the filament does not go through this case when we put the coil with the filament on the side of the printer ? Can we disconnect the "Material End Detection "in the firmware via the printer screen ?
Another question :
Where do you turn on ( and off) the printer ? By pressing the button on the front ? Or on the left side at the back (as on the M200) ?

I don't see a setting in Z-Suite (Mac version 2.5 beta) to disable the Material End Detection. But you could of course fool the printer by sticking a loose piece of material in the detector. A disadvantage would be that the printer cannot keep track of the filament loaded/unloaded state. The printer remembers filament when power is switched off.

The main power switch is on the left side at the back.
Thanks for the quick answers !
Maybe you can disconnect the “end stop material” via the printer screen (the printer firmware) ?
My coils are hanging over the printer at the front because the entire printer is locked in a insulated and heated box
in this case, it will be difficult to send the filament via this box.
you say : "A disadvantage would be that the printer cannot keep track of the filament loaded/unloaded state. The printer remembers filament when power is switched off."
is it a problem to load and unload the filament?

Nice box axel! Is it possible to keep the "ambient temperature" below 30 deg. C?
My 2 M200 are installed in a room whose T ° is very low in winter (+/- 10 ° to 15 °): too little to print correctly.
I made insulated boxes with booster heater (250w) + T ° controller set to 30 °. Extruded polystyrene panels of 3cm and Plexiglas door. - in winter, I reach without problem 35 ° inside the box, also thanks to the heating plate! The radiator does not turn much. - In summer, the heating is almost non-existent and I have to open the doors a bit ! Many thanks for all this information and all these tests for filament loading and unloading. This will help me a lot to make the right decision for a fifth printer (I also have two Witbox)

One question ... if "Material End Detection" detects when printing that there is no material left, does the M200 + pause and can I continue printing after inserting new material? Does an acoustic signal sound?
WHEN does the M300 PLUS come ???

Korni, I have not yet used up a spool, but have not noticed any beeping so far from the machine.
Surprise! The M200 Plus just autonomously updated its firmware to 1.0.2 via WiFi, after i chose "refresh" (without Z-Suite running).
