Tips for a beginner?

[murti]

1 - The printer you have chosen is your max budget. It is a nice looking machine, but if you don't want to spend everything you have check out this link: http://www.3ders.org/pricecompare/3dprinters/
you can sort by country, price, lead time, and a lot more.

1A - Here is a better chart: http://www.productchart.com/3d_printers/

2 - I have not used ABS (no heat bed). As far as I know (and don't quote me) there's no issues with skin irritation, though I it is possible someone out there might have a reation.

3 - You shouldn't need to build a powerful desktop if your designs are moderately simple. If you were to model a car and run simulatuions in Solidworks, then yes you would need more power.

4 - 3D printers are awesome, and have used them over the last few months for personal and R&D work in the shop. The ability to see a prototype take shape, see errors as it builds, and save money (over first production run models) has been incredible.

5 - Yes. There are multiple printers that offer dual extruders. Check the link above. There are after market extruders that have 3 and 4 nozzels. Also, new product on kickstarter allows for up to 4 colors (or types) of filamint to be extruded to the printer, here is the link: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects...ref=nav_search

Hope this helps.

1. If you're the type that want many existing info regarding a 3D printer, it helps to select a 3DP with lots of public information. If you're the more adventurous type, then getting into a really new 3DP is equally good. We have 3 machines that fit your budget http://eezitec.com/collections/3dprinters

2. I would go ABS ONLY IF you have adequate venting or at least a very open space because the fumes from ABS 3D printing is not exactly something you'd want to breathe. PLA is nearly equally good but at times can be brittle depending on the structure of the build. Example -- going with the grain vs going against the grain, etc.

3. It would be good if you have at least 4gb memory. Ideally, 8gb & above is good to run multiple programs that you'll probably need open.

4. Anything new & exciting will always be a good investment

5. Airwolf 3D HD2X is a dual extruder 3DP that we carry http://eezitec.com/collections/3dpri...irwolf-3d-hd2x

Just one word of advice : try and select a product that's actually for sale.
1/ kickstarters for printers pop up every week, some don't deliver, most don't deliver on time.
2/ tech support is paramount for 3d printing : whether in the form of a big active community or an aftersales from the OEM.

Thank you guys for all the information.

I guess it is always better to buy a product within the country so in case of any error i may send the printer immediately to the technical department.

I think i will go with PLA since it is more nature friendly because of its structure and also i heard that it smells half like a sugar while in printing process. I guess i prefer this one for my room The only thing i need to know is that the durability of the item i make. For an example, if i design smartphone cases, will they be durable in normal using conditions at least for 5-6 months?

If i will own a shop based on items i will make from 3d printer, what else should i pay attention to?

And one more question: Is it possible to adjust material softer/harder?

Thanks in advance
