Looks good. What are you planning to produce with it?

For the curious: (like me) 6256.75 PLN = 1540.54 EUR
+taxes, makes 1864.05 + transport
If you try and take a cat apart to see how it works, the first thing you have on your hands is a nonworking cat.

You can set the currency to Euro on their (slow) website when you go to "shop".

I have nothing really planned a few small things, and some fun like a yoda :).
But the changing of heads gives some nice extra options, I will probably try using a Dremel with it. (I have to print the toolhead for that first)

It has a long delivery time of 4+ weeks.

This is what I ordered, there is still a 5% discount for some days now, almost the same as free shipping:
Product    Quantity    Price
ZMORPH 2.0 S – DUAL HEAD PRINTING SET (#ZMORPH 2.0 DUAL) COLOR: RED 1  €1,991.37
Touch Probe   1    €30.23
1.75mm Extruder Nozzle 0.2mm (#EXNOZE02)   1    €24.34
Subtotal:    €2,045.94
Shipping:    €109.81 via DHL GROUND SII
Payment Method:    Direct Bank Transfer
Total:    €2,053.45 (Includes €383.97 VAT)

My impression is that its just another overpriced, underperforming plastic extrusion system.

It looks nice, basically a souped up Prusa Mendel variant. The changeable tool heads seems like a neat idea, but you really don't want to mix milling and 3d printing. Milling dust gets everywhere and plays havoc, you need a vac system (or a dirty area), and for most metals cutting fluid which also goes everywhere. I really wouldn't want to mix food with anything else, not even PLA.

As for pick and place, that would be near impossible with a moving bed.

So I think you are probably paying for flexibility that is impractical, although I would consider having one printer dedicated to food, and another for 3d printing.

This list below is what they think can be cut with the Dremel combined with this 'printer'.
I do think it can easily go wrong though, It has a metal frame but still forces on the head should be limited to avoid damage. And yes although it is closed, the needed cleaning inside will take time.
Milling on soap would help already ;)

MATERIALS FOR MILLING
    Balsa wood – Excellent general milling material.
    Hobby shops or internet

    Hard Soap – fibreless material good for making models for casting.
    Cosmetic department in your local food shop

    Hard Foam – fibreless material.
    Local hardware store, art supply shops

    Soft foam – good for elastic signs.
    Mouse pads work great.

    Hard wood – detailed engravings.
    Work with you tool settings and begin slow.

    Alumiunium – detailed engravings and milling.
    Work with you tool settings and begin slow. For milling cooling oil might be needed. (observe how your dremel works)

It does look more like a printer and not a prototype, also it is already assembled and tested at the factory.
Support is fast, although others may have a much bigger community you can ask advice from.
Anyway in about a month I will have my first experience with it.

There is also some very special material you can print with ;)

Material, speed, angle and workinghours determine the wear of the machine and tolerance/quality of the product.
Better buy a machine with hydraulic cooling and automatic chip removal :-)

Looks good enough to drill holes in PCB's.

They added a new feature "rapid prototyping of electronics"
Obviously it will have its limitation but nice.

edit: They are very busy now and had parts supply problems, so delivery time is now more like 2 months.
(their software http://voxelizer.com/welcome/ will support importing gerber files in the near future)

edit2: Delivered today (15/6) finally! :) Ordered (1/04)    (Zmorph factory time: 7/04 - 10/06)
