    Looking for a cheap first printer

    Looking to get a ultra cheap printer to get my feet wet. I will be doing limited printing, mostly small cases for electronic projects and don't need a vary large print area.

    When I say cheap I mean cheap so am looking at some of the Chinese made kits. Specifically these two:

    Any opinions on these or other options in the similar price range?

    How is it for setting it up for each print. I liked the design of that one but was worried about calibration and trouble shooting issues.

    I am happy with the delta kossel printer. i have had a few with setup of the machine as i have never had a 3d printer or even used one before. I have learned alot and was not overly difficult. i have happy with the bed size and especially the ability to make taller parts
