What is the best 3D printer for under 200 USD?

DeltaPi
DeltaPi over 2 years ago

Hello, I have recently been looking into getting a 3d printer for hobby engineering projects but am unsure of which printer is the best for my needs. My budget is 200 USD (+-

Qualities most important to me are:

1. Able to print strong sunlight resistant materials, so maybe needs a heated bed? (for PETG and ground up carbon fiber)

2. decent volume size (200x200mm?)

3. Good print quality

4. Quick-ish printer (no more than two days for one print)

I don't mind having to put together the printer, but don't want to have to deal with a lot of print problems after I get the print settings figured out. If there is any printer in my budget range close to these perimeters, please let me know. (My needs might be too much for under 200 USD)

Thanks, - Delta Pi

    Well, $200USD is not much to play with ... you're probably going to have to compensate a bit by tweaking and upgrading as you need. The Ender 3 Pro is often recommended as it's rather "open" in design…

    This thread reminded me of the Digistump BuildOne $99 3D printer on Kickstarter. Unfortunately, it looks like that project failed, as it hasn’t had any updates for nearly 2 years.
