I might jump on this....

Ahh and this is why I come on the forums, solid advice that I wouldn't have caught otherwise. I'll peak around for one that is aluminum, at a reasonable price!

Thanks for clearing that up, I couldn't find the tech specs? Anyways, it looks appealing. It seems to be a really fair price!

Thanks roxy, would I simply be able to add the heated bed to one without it? Say... This one...

That's a valid point, all there are is opinions because it's how you tune the printer.


I can't seem to find a heated bed prusa... and if you would recommend a prusa, which one would you?

Well I'm confused, so what makes one printer better than another? I want good print quality, and I want it to last... not always fixing. Also something that won't make me yank my hair out, but I...

Hey so here a few printers I've found of the past few weeks:
...

I do see that, I like that you can upgrade the printer by printing newer parts.

Checked out some of the pictures you have on there. Those are some seriously nice prints!! Could you maybe clear up what the Prusa I3 is... Is it a design of frame or is the electronics or is it the...

Alright thanks for clearing that part for me.




That's a good point, and the thing I find most fitting to me is that.... A: I like to build stuff, I don't feel taxed to do it.
B: With all...

Okay so if I may ask, what is the difference between the cheap and expensive? Is the I3 referring to the design or the electronics? Do the more expensive ones cost more because they look prettier and...

I have noticed that, and I was thinking it had to be overpriced. What would be a top of the like DIY one?

If I was able to save the money would a maker bot be worth it? I know it's not DIY, but for the price is it worth it? Or could I build my own killer printer?

Yeah, I don't expect things to be a "put it together and go" situation. I expect a lot of trial and error and a lot of frustration! I will keep on the search for the best printer that will suit my...

Roxy,

That was more than the answer I expected!Haha, I really appreciate you clearing that up for me. I'll look more into that Open_SCAD, however I might go with solidworks/autocad unless you can...

So I'm confused... I'm sorry, so the language is to design what will be cut... correct? Or is this the language that runs the printer. Such as windows is to a computer. Basically what is the benefit...

Alright so I'll look into the OpenSCAD, I can just try to learn some over the next few weeks. Now as for the printer, do I need to know a coding language or do most of these have a GUI. By that I...

I appreciate the responses guys, so I guess a more directed question would be to ask what I need to study on. So I get whatever kit, doesn't matter on that, in the end they all come down to an...

Hey guys,

So with my birthday coming up next month I think I may treat myself to a 3d printer! For anyone asking I will be 17. So basically I have very little knowledge on what is ahead of me,...
