This looks to be pretty good pricing for this printer, currently on clearance at Jaycar, down from $1399. Better pricing than I can see on Pricespy history of $1099 from PB Tech last month.
Reviews look to be pretty favourable as an alternative to Bambu models.
I have older Anycubics(just over a year old at the time), and when I needed parts AC said they don't ship to NZ anymore, because of "force majeure" and would not explain further. When I asked Jaycar if they support AC after sales they could not give me an answer either. So beware, I fixed mine with parts I bought from AliExpress and AC did come to the party and give me a token amount via PayPal to circumvent the forces that majeure!
Did you buy it from an NZ store? I'd "force majeure" their feelings at the disputes tribunal
I bought both of my AC printers direct from them which they sent from Australia, and had dealt with their customer service at the time with no problems, then something changed. This was before Jaycar started selling them as far as I can recall.
