Any printers (FDM) that matches my requirements?

[Stigern]

I've been searcing for a few days now, and I haven't found any printers that does what I want hehe.

My requirements are:

* Autolevel/Calibration of buildplate
* Heated bed
* Support for more than PLA & ABS, etc 260-300c extruder
* SD-card support
* Non proprietary materials
* Comes assembled, or almost complete.


So, this seems like an impossible task, but is it? :P

The BI 2.5, meets all but one of the requirement. You may want to swap for your own hotend. Their hotend is unreliable though, you can't change the nozzle, without messing with the whole extruder, thermistor and heating cartridge.

Thanks, but autolevel is one of my main requirements.

I believe the Lulzbot Taz 5 has all of those. Speak under correction.

Yes, almost. Except autolevel

it sounds like almost any printer with autolevel would fit the bill

what sort of build volume you looking at ?

Build volume is not important. But I have a hard time finding printers that has all those requirements. Which one where you thinking of?

[Sebastian Finke]

The Lulzbot Mini has everything except SD Card support. Again, I speak under correction.

try looking for printers with an all-metal extruder - they tend to be the ones that can handle the higher heat.

Also what sort of budget are you looking at ?

printrbot plus looks like it fits the bill - can't find any info on the hotend - but is ceramic, so should be able to go to fairly high temps.

Even on the page where they sell the hotends individually they don't state the temp range, weird.

for an extra $400 they do a dual extruder model as well.
