Looks like a maker bot replicator 2 clone but idk what it's called. I'm curious if its any good. Looking to get one in this price range but I don't wanna buy anything that's junk. Any help is much appreciated.
It's 1/3rd of the price of a makerbot and 10x better.Quote:

I would buy that one, metal case, good gear, they are not 'junk' or a no name, Druckers have been around as long or longer than alot of other clones.
Thank you for your quick response. Ill plan on getting this one. I have looked at other in this price area like the da Vinci 2.0 and I've seen a few others but I like this one because I can get it now. The da Vinci 2.0 on amazon is still pre order plus I don't think it can do all the filaments that this one can. Is they're any other is this price range I should look at or is the best?
That one doesn't say the case is metal. It just says "black version". It looks like a died version of the other one they offer. Unless I'm missing something, the descriptions appear to be the same.
i have to ask, that price is real?? is way to cheap for a metal case and dual extruder 3d printer, specially if the quality of the prints is a good one, so yeah im kinda lost on this one,
Idc if case is metal or not. I have access to tools to make a metal frame if desired. Just was curious to if anyone knew anything about it. I didn't know the brand and I don't know that much about 3d printers but I'm interested in getting one.
well if thats a metal case, you are having good deal, and according to geoff, it haves a good quality, i have to point out that most of the makerbots clones are wooden case and that can affectt the final print a lot so this one is perfect.
That might be an acrylic case. I looked at the Duplicator and they do the same thing... a wood version and an acrylic "black" version.
Why does wood adversely affect the print quality?
Heat and moisture, all of that can afectt the size of wood, and Will absolutly afecta your final print, imagine the z axis moves up and down everytime you print, or that you aré printing on a suny day and by night starts raining and your Job timé is 21-22 hours, that my friend Will afect you.
Thermal expansion of wood is 1/4 that of steel. If your wood is expanding because of moisture then you are not using your printer enough methinks. :)
wood does not affect the print quality in any way at all that I can tell, it's the noisy vibrations it produces that are the problem, you can't get a noiser 3d printer, even when it's not printing its terrible.Quote:

So bottom line regardless of frame this printer is good? Idk if the main purpose that I want to use it for would help any but primary use would be to print about 1-1/2 inch tall by 1/2 inch wide mouthpieces.
Any idea if the temp goes high enough for PET ?
180mms !Quote:
The hardware and software of the 3D printer is suitable for printing accelerated ( acceleration ), thereby accurately driving speeds of more than 180 mm / sec. be achieved.
seriously - has anyone ever tried that ?
Pretty sure the honeycomb infill at that speed would cause the whole thing to shake itself to pieces !
There is no mention of the case material - and if you're in a enviromentally stable normal room (ie: not printing outside) the wood case is extremely good.
Plus I like the retro look on what is essentially a piece of science fiction come good :-)
180mm/s infill... Just because you can doesn't mean you should.
at that speed your printer would look more a washing machine than a printer, your prints wont like that :p
I was ready to buy a printer last week, after 2 months of lurking on boards like this one and checking out youtube vids, etc. I was really thinking about getting this one and called the dealer/guy that's selling this. No answer, left a message with my contact info. Never heard from them/him. Ordered a Maker Farm 10" last Friday. I really thought it would be nice to have dual extruders, but if I can't reach the people I buy it from for issues or questions, I guess this isn't the printer for me. Looking forward to getting the Maker Farm next week though.
