Metal frame over wood frame. Period.
You will be limited to PLA and HIPS due to the bed reaching a max temp of only 80° but at the price... go for it.
Nothing wrong with a wood frame, my FF creator dual with wood frame still puts out excellent prints after 2 years of heavy work.
Having said that, a heated bed is a must in my opinion. With 80° you can also print PETG well as it has a glass transition point around 75°.
The wood-frame printer could be more easily Modified and Improved.
Like a Larger heated bed, dual-extruder, etc.
But both need a Lot of changes to make a really 'Good' printer.
Need to find out about what computer connections they have at motherboard also.
out of those 2.
1 is a replicator original clone but with an UNHEATED bed.
And the other is a wanhao duplicator i3 clone (or most likely a rebadged original)
The i3 has the larger print volume and the heated bed and it's metal framed and a lot around so plenty support and easy to get spares.
it's a no brainer get the i3 :-)
I ended up getting the architect. Does anyone know if it's a exact re-brand of anything? Like exact same components or what?
