I requested from Canaan a unit for review on this page and make a YouTube in Spanish for the Spanish speaking public. In communications right now with them. I will keep you posted.
I just contacted Qidi Tech to see if they were interested in donating a Qidi Tech X-Max 3 printer. I am about to do some 3D printer reviews on this page that will include the Anycubic Kobra Max, Anycubic Kobra Neo, Flsun SR 3D printers. I think this Qidi Tech 3D printer is going to be a great addition to this review. I wil keep you posted on their decision.

UPDATE 6/4/2023
Haven't gotten an answer back from QIDI.
I received my Flsun SR and compared with the Anycubic Kobra Max in speed, the Delta blows it away. Very happy with the performance and out of the box experience. The Kobra Max prints very large items compared to the Flsun SR. Using each one for something different. I am about to receive a Anycubic Neo. Let's see the performance of that one. I can print three things at a time and that way I don't have to wait so long. Did a Namor Submariner on 350% scale on the Kobra Max, huge print. Doing a Tenjin also at 350%, super huge print and many days of printing. Will post pics when I paint them with airbrush. Planning on using resin as a primer and then spray paint primer and then paint. Bought a cheap bottle airbrush for the resin. That's another experiment!!
Update 6-14-2023
I would say that the Anycubic Kobra Max is by far the best reliable 3D printer of the three that I have. No failed prints, great bed adhesion and good prints and LARGE format. The Flsun SR, well being fast is great but I am having a lot of problems with bed adhesion. The first prints were great but then I am starting to have problems with the adhesion and the final bed leveling is also a problem. The Anycubic Neo is super slow BUT it produces some great prints right out of the box. Had a problem once with adhesion but I was able to get it back to work okay.
Just seen this great GPU, Nvidia A40 with 10,752 CUDA cores.
Wrote to Nvidia to see if they can help out with a loaner, sample or donate one of these so that it can work on Primegrid workunits. I will also use it at World Community Grid for Cancer research. I am assuming that this card will be something out of this world!!
Right now I am running a Dell 7820 with dual Xeon Gold 6148 20 core cpu's. 64gb of memory and a Nvidia Titan X that Nvidia had donated a while back.
I ordered a used Intel Xeon Phi 5110P to see if I can get those 60 cores to work with World Community Grid or Primegrid. It seems that it's not going to be an easy task to do this.
Update May,28, 2023
Haven't been able to get the Xeon Phi working as of yet. Hardware issues.

I am moving over to a Supermicro K1SPE motherboard. Supermicro has donated a couple of their boards in the past for this effort. I will be using a Xeon Phi 7210 cpu ($99). Trying to get al least 32gb of memory for this setup. Need a cpu that has AVX 512 and FMA3 for the math in Primegrid.

Although will not be using it for gaming (I'm not a gamer), it would work GREAT with World Community Grid and Primegrid.
Got the Pfizer vaccine today. First dose, no problems.
Got the second dose, no problems either. Get your shot today!!

Considering writing to AMD and requesting a sample AMD 3970X to work on the World Community Grid effort. Let's see what happens.

No answer from AMD. World Community Grid now has a project for COVID-19. This would be the best time to try out that AMD cpu.
4/28/2021
Trying for the Ryzen 9 5900x. This would be an excellent CPU for the World Community Grid effort especially on the COVID 19 effort.
