The BQ Hephestos2 (3D printer), nine months later

The Hephestos 2 printer just finished a job. Laying around the printer are Pritt adhesive, a brass brush, cleaning fluid.

After nine months I can say that I’m satisfied with the BQ Hephestos 2 printer. It’s easy to print with and easy to maintain. It doesn’t come with a heated printbed which I consider a shortcoming but for PLA and Filaflex the printer works fine.
