Opinion on 3D printer

14corman
14corman over 10 years ago

I am in the market for a 3D printer. I know how they work and some of the language associated with them, but the problem is I am still somewhat new to the 3D printing world and there are so many printers out there. I was wondering if I could get some experts opinions on some or get some opinions from some people that are using a 3d printer that may match my criteria. No, I am not lazy. I am doing research myself I am just looking for advise so I can make a smart purchase. Thank you for any and all help that anybody gives.

 

Must haves.

1. print from SD card

2. print bed are larger than 30 cm

3. can print ninja flex and abs

4.(well more of a it would be nice option) under $4,000

 

Again thank you for any and all input.

    I like Printrbot for the money. If you want finer resolution and are willing to pay more there are some from objet and stratus that are very high resolution but pricey.

    That actually looks like a great deal it is a great size, excellent price, can handle abs with the heated bed (I'm not sure yet how ninja flex works or what its requirements are to use it in a machine so i will need to look to see if this could use it), my only thing is the SD card. Certainly not a breaking point for this machine (printrbot Metal plus), but I am still just not sure how far away it is going to be from my computer so I am still taking that into consideration. I am still looking for now but thank you.

    There is a special guide part to print and they claim ninja flex works great with it. I have a roll of black ninja flex but have not tried it yet.
