Looking to buy a 3-d Printer
Posted on 1/20/22 at 11:33 am

I do design work and have been seeing these 3-d printers for quite some time now and I think I want to get one and play around with it. I was curious does anyone have suggestions for models (etc.), tips or suggestions on how to get started that would be great. I really don't have a budget per say but not looking to break the bank on my very first one.
TIA

There was a thread about a month ago.
I did the Anycubic Vyper - it's about $350...I ordered direct from the anycubic website. Took about a week.
There is a good Facebook group for the Vyper and it has helped me get things tuned - although out of the box - it was pretty solid.

Following.
I've had a prusa i3 for years, but never used it as much as I wanted to. I also have not followed along with the industry so don't know all the latest developments, features, etc.
I would be mostly interested in making small brackets and enclosures for electronics and such. Need weather resistant filament.
Maybe you and I should both read through the "official" 3d printing thread.

I have had a few and I currently have two running. A Voxelab Aquila (Ender 3 v2 clone) and an Ender 3 Max. I REALLY like the Ender 3 max and the Aquila works fine too. I got rid of printers that just weren't built good enough and they wouldn't stay square.
I hate auto leveling, it is not needed with good supports and a flat bed. I think it causes more trouble than it is worth. I do put silicone supports on my printers though, in fact the only upgrade on my ender 3 max are silicone supports.

AnyCubic Vyper.
I have 2 of them.
Awesome right out of the box. You'll be printing in less than 30 minutes.
I've been printing non stop since November and not a single problem.
