The print beds are SINGLE USE injection molded ABS(I think it's ABS, anyhow).

They snap over the heating element and seem to be a gigantic waste of resources. You can tell R&D was pushed to make their machines as profitable as possible by avoiding reusable parts.

You can't refill their spool cassettes either without some RFID hacking.

It's fuckin' bogus.
