How do you think this was cut? It doesn't seem like there's any melting, so maybe a water jet?

So far I've just been using the basic obd2 Bluetooth things but the apps available are very limited. I've been able to do some custom PIDs for some of my vehicles, and others you can often find tools that allow you to do some specific programming but it lacks a lot. I've been considering some of the ones you can find for around $400 from China but I'm not sure if those are anywhere near the same level as the 10k snap on ones.
Weirdness: The default g-code for the machine does silly things like park the nozzle over the build plate letting it ooze, instead of over the nozzle wiper/waste container.
The filament change routine is strange, requiring you to remove the bowden tube to cut the filament every time. This is easily fixed by printing a filament cutter and using that to cut the filament.
The bowden tube rubs against the top plexiglass lid for the machine, requiring you to print a riser for the lid to avoid it getting all scratched up.
The door for the machine is an odd shape design with no handle making it a little annoying to get a grip to open it.
The filament holder they include is a very bad design, flexes heavily with a full roll of filament and I have had spools fall off several times while printing.
The touch screen menu isn't very intuitive and it can be very laggy at times.
Good features for the price point: Fully enclosed with built in chamber heater.
Pretty decent auto leveling system.
Timelapse camera.
Runs klipper/mainsail and input shaping is pretty cool.
I have around 500 hours on mine and I haven't had any prints fail that were the fault of the machine so I'm pretty impressed by that. And I find the features and capabilities to be pretty great for the price point. They just could use to do some polishing of the design
