    I've seen them in person twice now, and honestly they look pretty nice, albeit slow. I just wonder now if there is as much advantage to these units than there was a year ago....I mean, Monoprice has...

    Ultimaker Original+ A Worthy Update?

    Hi all,

    It's been nearly 2 years since I purchased my Prusa i3v, and a year since I built my last small printers. I've been wanting to move onto a new machine with a bit better precision, size...

    Hate to bump a thread, but just wondering how anyone who has this printer is getting along with it.

    With the sagging Canadian dollar, this is starting to look very appealing, in the face of a few...

    Are you using it for engineering purposes? Mechanical design? Or are you looking to use it for modelling, design and higher detailed prints? There are different printers for different applications. ...

    Interesting. The few renders and technical details lead me to think it's a dressed up version of the tried and true Replicator style design, similar gantry, build volume and mechanical design. Not a...

    Well that really depends....what are your applications and needs for it?....we have several stratasys machines at work that cost that and more, but in some cases they are no better than a $500 Prusa,...

    Very sad to read this today. RRP had been a driving force behind some great machines, and the entire RepRap project. They were also one of the main sources driving the RepRap Duet, while T3DP3D is...

    Yup, that's exactly it. It's not really needed if you are printing ABS, but for PLA, it's almost crucial. It aids a lot when printing sharp overhangs, small details, or unsupported areas, and without...

    Yah, printed extruders are pretty much the norm. With the exception of the Printrbot extruder, and the Micron3D, there's a surprising lack of good open-source metal extruders. Maybe that's a...

    Thomas Sanlander did a review on the MM3 a while back, and he was very impressed as well, and was particularly impressed with the quality of the printer. You can find his review on YouTube.

    I've bought my components for the past 2 printers from FolgerTech and the quality has generally been pretty good. I had one bad stepper driver out of 10, but it wasn't a big deal given the price....

    Yes! Really liking what BCN has! Richard Horne recently reviewed one, and gotta say, I was quite impressed! Some very nice looking printers!

    Only thing I don't like about that design is the Z axis design, seems like it would be cause for significant resonance in fast moves
  17. I think you get a better 'bang for your buck'...

    I think you get a better 'bang for your buck' with the Makerbot clones, like the Flashforge and Microcenter's, but I tend to lean toward printrbot's (Simple and Play) as they seem to be much more...

    I'd argue that the printrbot is easier to calibrate. Auto bed probing is pretty well implemented on the Simple, and there are numerous upgrades available!

    Agreed. I'd be curious to see what the shipped units numbers are for most manufacturers. Are we looking at tens of thousands for say Printrbot, or hundreds of units for others...

    Yes and no, a lot of the printers have been from american manufactuers, but others such as the Witbox, Felix, BEE, LeapFrog and even Wanhau make it into the reviews. From what I've seen through pics...

    I was wondering about that, I couldn't seem to find it, and trying to subscribe gave me errors....maybe they just don't like us canadians lol

    I think it's just coming out to subscribers now, and is due to be on most shelves by the end of November. This guide like every year is actually just the winter issue of Make, and given that the...

    I really appreciate Marlin and all the work that goes into it, but I'm slowing starting to believe there's more benefits to using a 32bit controller and firmwares such as RepRap Firmware for coreXY...

    I agree that it's less of a mainstream concept than others, but I wouldn't say its not well supported. Smoothieware/Smoothieboards, RepRap Duet and other 'next generation' controllers have much...
