What changed

The product has a history

Older observations stay in the ledger when the current view changes. That lets a buyer tell the difference between an old complaint, an active issue, and a problem that was corrected.

Owner experience

What repeats after the purchase

Owner discussion repeatedly returns to mode switching, exposure and creality scan performance rather than specifications alone.

These are self-reported experiences from a changing mix of owners, conditions and software versions. They identify questions to test, not a failure rate.
SignalWhat owners reportOur readEvidence

mode switching, exposure and Creality Scan performance

Operators repeatedly discuss dark and reflective surfaces, scan spray, marker placement, tracking loss, host GPU load, mesh cleanup, software updates and the gap between a demo scan and a repeatable workflow.

Compare both methods on the intended part instead of treating the best specification as universal.
