Best 3D printer for 250 dollars ?

[curious aardvark]

or there's one of these: https://www.amazon.com/printer-autol...9334546&sr=8-8

It's a steep learning curve for a beginner - but mine's been runing with all original parts for around three years and has so far pushed more than 8km of filament through the extruder.

I made mods - all of which can be printed on the machine itself - but it's even using the original firmware.
Here's the mods I made: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2386628
over 1600 people are using my mods - kind of gives you a warm tingly feeling.
Now if they'd all give me a couple dollars, I'd be even happier - but such is life, you can't live on good will - but it's nice to have all the same :-)

The only tricky part is the flexible cable holder and you need a stiff flexible filament and a lot of patience as you run it at around 10mm/s

I've always used simplify3d as my slicer for it - but I reckon prusa slicer would work wel as it does have a delta option when you're installing it.

And a sheet pei would be essential. I use printbite on mine, but PEI is nearly as good.

Oh and obviously as I've got one - you can bother me directly with any questions :-)
There's a thread around somewhere - though as one of the regular contributors went awol and took his posts with him - it can be odd reading at times :-)

And if you get as far as the big bastard - no, still haven't built it.
