Man, they sure use that Orion in the video a lot. I think the most impressive thing is the ability to change the print profile for different parts of the print.

If it's a 1 time price, and you get updates for free... I think it's reasonable.

My guess is they got a free Orion if they prominently featured it in their videos in exchange for making it work with delta geometry.

Has anybody here actually tried the software? Is it worth the cost? It looks really interesting, but the cost and the fact that there's no way to demo it leaves me trepidatious.

[BeeAmaker]

They should offer a 30 day trial.

I have the software. works pretty good, I have not used it much though. I bought it over a year ago, so it may have gotten better since then.
I can bring it to the meeting so you guys can test it out if you want.

Do you get free updates?

[bvandiepenbos]

you update through program, I have the newest.
so yes, I guess updates are free.
they don't specify how long you get free updates though.
