You don't need it if you print slowly, and you don't need it for reliable old PLA. If I squint, I think I can see a difference, but it's marginal.

Thing is, the X1C isn't really for printing PLA. If you only want to do that, you'd get a V400 or a Voron. When I print PC Blend, though, it's... the difference is glaring. This isn't something that needs a lot of testing; with the lidar off, the corners look like semicircles.

Also monotonic top/bottom layers don't fill the full surface, because they have corners on both ends. About like you'd expect, and the difference isn't visible from the outside; external perimeters are always printed slowly anyway.

Vorons are pretty terrible at PLA, not enough cooling and enclosure. They're great Abs printers though and PC blend.

Good to know. The one Voron I've seen in real life didn't have an enclosure; I take it that isn't standard?

The X1 also prints ABS perfectly. I should remember to make a Nevermore filter one of these days, so I can take advantage...
