Suggestion for 3D Printer?
I am a engineering student, looking to purchase a 3D printer. I have a bit of experience with Autodesk Inventor and would import .ipt models to .stl
I never used a 3D printer before, but I am mechanically and electrically inclined. I understand some programming.
I am making motorcycle parts for practice. I want large build volume, resolution (less work on my part), and flexibility to use different filaments. ABS filament I would think is optimal strength for certain motorcycle parts.
I don't care if it's enclosed or not (unless it aids 3d printing process due to consistency). I dont care about extra features like LCD screens, bluetooth connectivity etc.
My budget is up to $3000, but I love to save money. I have been looking at the Lulzbot TAZ 5, but I keep finding other printers that look promising at similar price range or less. I would like to hear suggestions before pulling the trigger on the TAZ 5.
Thanks,
Mike
