I’m considering pulling the trigger on an X1C but the waste is a huge turn-off. I know there are options for purging to infill or a sacrificial object, but last I heard there’s still a considerable amount of purge/prime. Can someone who’s played with the settings tell me honestly how much progress has been made in reducing waste?

    No direct experience here. A friend has one, he’s quite experienced with printing, so I assume he got it dialled in well. Recently he talked about a small mandaloroan helmet he printed (mostly grey, but black in the parts that really would be a hole). About 10cm high. He had about the same amount of filament in waste as actual print.
