3D Printing on a Budget
Hey everyone,
If you're looking for 3D printers for your classroom and are on a budget, there is a slew of 3D printers currently on sale from XYZprinting:
The da Vinci miniMaker: $179
The da Vinci Jr. Pro: $299
The da Vinci 1.0 Pro: $499
The da Vinci Pro 3-in-1: $599
The Nobel 1.0: $899
All the ones labeled "Pro" are compatible with 3rd party resins and the Nobel 1.0 is an SLA printer that is now compatible with 3rd party resins.
Hope this helps!

We have a da Vinci xyz that takes a proprietary cartridge -- ripped that off and flashed it; install RepetierHost. Works fine.

All are good choices, just make sure its enclosed, and stick to PLA for simplicity. The da Vinci Jr. Pro would be a good choice that falls in the middle. I'm not sure a SLA printer would be best for a school, at least not lower grades. With the FDM printers, just be careful because the hot-end can burn you so keep the door closed.

Quite interesting! I love the idea.

Have parts for a 3d printer printed somewhere and assemble it yourself. You'll need some basic knowledge for firmware. Other than that you can make it for under 200$. But it is time consuming.

Thank you from me! This is really cool information, looking for it.
