Discussion about Markforged Mark Two
This is the general thread for discussing the machine; the thread is also visible on its page at https://www.fablabs.io/machines/mark-two
I had a bad experience with the Markforged Mark Two because it is very closed-source and proprietary. I wanted to print a part, but was unable to log into the printer to print anything because the printer was already registered with another computer. This seems like a terrible feature for a place like a Fab Lab where many users will need to access a printer, probably from several different computers. It was very frustrating.

I mostly use Ultimaker 2s in my lab, and they are great, open-source, and very user-friendly.
