AnyCubic are running an additional 24% off their already discounted MASSIVE 400x400x450mm Chiron printer, and this deal stacks with the current 10% off eBay promotion.
This brings this printer to just $350 (coupon PAUG10), or $342 if you have eBay plus (coupon PAUG12). I have been told the full price after the sale ends will be $539.

Can you print smaller items with this?
No every print has to be 400x400x450 exactly
Ah how I laughed.
With 3D printers, bed size is a maximum parameter. You can print any size up to the maximum - although for ultra small prints, you’ll be limited by nozzle size and practical resolution. This sort of printer wouldn’t be ideal for say detailed table top game minis - it would print them but they’d look kind of shitty. Resin printers like the Mono range are generally better for that kind of ultra a high resolution small print.
Have one of these. It’s a nice machine. Not the fastest or simplest setup machine on the market, but not awful for any criteria point and a super cheap way to get large size prints.

Lol comments what's going on
Sierra accidently added a comment twice. And an internet meta opportunity presented itself.
Joining in last night actually made my night. Yes I am that bored and lonely
Mixed reviews on these online - some say they are trash, others that they are great.
An excellent price of true; probably able to upgrade if it's a lemon with some additional parts.
Don't have one of these. It may be a nice machine. Probably not the fastest or simplest setup machine on the market, but not awful for any criteria point and a moderately cheap way to get larger size prints than the Artillery Sidewinder X2 we got last deal - https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/664508
My head hurts.
Print a new one.
The bed levelling is not really automatic.
This comes with the bed levelling sensor to create an automatic correction mesh, but I’ll agree that the initial bed level should be done manually.
I have this printer and its extremely good value for such a large machine at this price. It will print 60 mm/s out of the box. It can be a bit fiddly, but there is a decently sized community who have designed mods that fix the major issues. There are also a few simple and cheap/free upgrades you can do immediately to improve the ease of use and print quality as well as a few more involved (yet still inexpensive) upgrades that will make this printer perform at least as well if not better as printers twice its price like the Anycubic Kobra Max.
If anyone is interested I can put together a list of the best mods for this printer.
I would definitely be interested in that. Also curious about where the community is active. Cheers
Yes please I'm interested!
Yes I'd certainly be keen too! The community seems a lot smaller than other manufacturers (Ender for example) but I've managed to see a few mods online - E3D-v5 hot end seems like a direct swap but direct drive extruder looks like more of a serious upgrade? What about the board and firmware - it's an 8 bit board is that correct?
