G+_Greg Styles Posted October 3, 2017 Share Posted October 3, 2017 Thank you for your show about 3d printer troubleshooting. you were commenting about recommendations for an inexpensive 3D printer. Have you looked at the Anet A8? I bought one from Gearbest for under $200 and have been very happy with it. It is a kit, it is slow, and it does need tinkering. But I have had good results with it. https://www.gearbest.com/3d-printers-3d-printer-kits/pp_337314.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G+_Rud Dog Posted October 3, 2017 Share Posted October 3, 2017 Like many others my pause has caused a long delay in purchasing a 3D printer only because there are so many pros and cons on this area of purchase. The one that really causing me delay is the statement "if you are a experienced 3D printer person " Makes me wonder what kind of hell a non-experienced person would go through. Guessing the plug and play 3D printer is not yet here? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

G+_Giligain I. Posted October 3, 2017 Share Posted October 3, 2017 Rud Dog The printer itself is not the bottleneck most likely...it's the setup and knowledge of materials used to print. I would compare this to a sewing machine: the device can be simple and cheap or expensive, easy to learn or lots of settings to master...and then how to make good seams and what textiles work/don't-work. Another example: the range/oven is easy to use (if not loaded with "features"), but making a great dish to eat takes practice or just plain good look.

G+_Joseph Politi Posted October 4, 2017 Share Posted October 4, 2017 I wouldn’t recommend the anet a8 simply because it has a plastic frame and will warp with time. Way too many complaints with that printer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
