9I have the cc2 and had the Neptune 4 pro before that.
My honest view on elegoo.
While you get some amazing deals on their latest machines. When things go wrong. As in bad design issues. You will often find the community is the only real help. And that can take some time.
Elegoo seems to have a release a new version fix strategy rather then help existing customers.
They will stand by warremtee as far as replacement parts go. But their prices honestly mean any design issues are built in for the model you buy. (Given as a company. They do work on small margins. I. A field where such issues are common. It's hard to blame them.)
That said, the community is pretty darn good. And they are fairly open with their software etc, So alternatives etc are possible given time.
On the whole as an occasional user with a little technical ability. I consider them a good buy. But would hesitate if I needed them to be reliable for any form of business. I'm poor and find the fiddling fun sometimes. And can wait a bit and struggle when I have a project. If you do not think that way. Spend more on a printer with more support.
ATM the CC1 is likely the best deal on a core xy out there. But many community upgrades are advisable.
The CC2 fixes many of those needs. But it's lack of internal website introduces more. IE Linux is a pain. And their website has occasional issues.
Orca are openly working on support for CC2 web issue. But ATM generating it's GCode and moving via usb is required.
