[nefiwashere]

Looking to buy a 3D printer. to many different products out there to really look at.

So far i really like the Printrbot simpile metal. also seems to have good upgrades that can be done to it.

also looked at the da vinci and prusa 10" i3v Kit
Any input would be great. maybe point me to a printer that i haven't seen yet or printer that you like that has i high print quality.

just looking for something affordable, that has a good print quality, has a good amount of support.

don't want to get a product that has a little user base.

i like the makerbot but its price is more than i want to spend. looking to get my feet wet.

I too bought this printer ,my first ,am very happy with it ,how is yours working out ?

[nefiwashere]

been going good, had some issue of the wrong firmware being on the ramps. had the 8" firmware. once i changed it my bigger prints were not getting cut off. i later printed out a different z end stop to make it easier to get the extruded height from the bed easier. after i did that and did a lot of printing and than added auto bed leveling. which made a huge difference for me in time to get ready to print. before you have to manually level out the bed which can be a pain especially after every print.

i could not find the first z endstop i printed out. that little upgrade made it less frustrating to level the bed

auto bed leveling from thingiverse

if you do it follow the guide on thingiverse as far as what to print and what to buy. than you will use zennmaster guide on setting up marlin.
not to hard to get going but it was worth it.


questions or issue just let me know.
