Printer for a social project
Hello! I am a newbie in the 3d world. I have set up a BCN3D+ and I printed some small things.
Now I wanted to buy a printer and I have seen this: http://3dealo.com/3d-printer-flexmak...-bulldozer-hd/
Could someone give me your opinion?
I want to use it is educational, for people who know nothing about 3D printers can learn their potential.
Thanks!

for the size of build volume - that's a very good price.
never heard of the machines or company - but looks solidly built.
where do you live ?
That printer looks loike it's made in spain. so if you don't live in the eu - it will cost a LOT of money to import one.
Always best to try and find something in your own country.
On the other hand if you live in spain - go for it :-)
Shame the bcn3d wasn't yours :-)

Yes, I live in Spain and I met the 2 guys from 3dealo. They said they don't want to say bad things about BCN3D+, but they said their printers are better. I'm a newbie and I don't know how and what to compare. How could I know if their bulldozer HD is better than BCN3D+? And what about i3 prusa mk2?
Thank You!

The i3 prusas are usually fairly basic machines, not exactly over engineered. cheap, cheerful and fairly reliable, but expect to do a lot of work yourself on upgrades, improvements etc.
The bulldozer does look like a beefed up i3, but most don't come with all metal frames.
Ah the bcn3d+ is an actual model.
Looking at it - yes I'd say the idealio bulldozer was the better printer - on paper.
much larger print volume, easily interchangeable mozzles.
Plus laser and milling heads to be added later.
The bcn3d+ will print at up to 300c, which seems to be the only point it beats the dealio on.
If you want something cheaper look for a spanish dealer selling the wanhao duplicator i3 2.1. Should be half the price of the other 2 printers and same build volume as the bcn3d+
