    right - first thing you need to do is start thinking in millimetres :-)

    Second download cura and load and slice some models to get a feel for how the whole process works. No printer needed.

    If I'm making very strong walls for a box, I make them 2mm thick.
    The walls on this little gadget are 2mm

    Pretty strong :-)
    Uses 7 grams of plastic to make.

    So a hollow speaker cabinet with 2mm walls would not use much plastic at all.
    Also any 'solid' object you print - won't be. It'll have solid walls and a sponge like interior that makes it strong but usues very little plastic.

    The robo3d looks like decent pirnter - can't think of any negative reviews.

    they say 1000 grams divided by the weight of item is one one.
    that's just gibberish :-)
