Hello everyone,
I need help buying a 3D Printer these are the requirements.
Needs to have a dual extruder.
Needs high resolution
Nozzle needs to be able to handle conductive filaments.
Would like to stay around 3K- 4K, but I can go higher.
I want to be able to print conductive objects with plastic coatings. I have experince using 3D printers, but not buying them. Any feedback is much appreciated.
Hi! I would suggest Wanhao Prusa i3, Flashforge Creator Pro or Printrbot printers.
Bobby thanks for getting back to me! I'll check these out and post which I decide to purchase.
I'm not sure if you're interested in Kickstarter projects, but myself and a friend recently backed the Raise 3D printer. They seem to have some pretty nifty features and will be selling with an upgrade to dual extruder available for $200 (if they don't reach the stretch goal for it). The N2 and N2+ seem to be a really nice size and resolution is said to go down to 10 micron layer height.
Might be worth a look if you're willing to wait a couple of months before shipping

I'm currently using a Rapide Lite 200 but it lacks a dual extruder and a lot of the snazzier features of some of these newer machines.
I own the Printrbot MEtal Plus Dual and it has proven reliable and very robust. Printrbot has a very good support, they devise upgrades frequently and they publish very good techpubs : you can find on the support page an exploded view of all the components of your printer.
I posted a few prints here : http://3dprintboard.com/showthread.p...2027#post72027
Let me know if you have questions.
What does "high resolution" mean?
We have printed layers as thin as 25 microns, and have nozzles as small as 0.35mm.
A System 30M with two filament heads is $3995.
Suggest the Fusion3 F306 - Dual. $4975. Search the threads and you'll see very positive comments about both dual version AND our platform in general.
bcn3d sigma - best dual printer on the planet !
The only one with two seperate extruders. So no purgewalls, columns or having to use two materials with the same extruding temp.

RichRap agrees with me :-)

Nothing else currently comes close.
Was liking the look of this at TCT.
It seems to be very well thought out, but will wait to see how good it is.
