I haven't tried laser engravers but there seems to be economical options. As for 350$ FDM Printers, you might want to set that stack aside in bitcoin and wait until you can get something with a heated chamber like this Prusa ($1150 assembled, $950 DIY). If you start a zapraiser, I'll contribute.
Ahh I'll take a look at it. I'm not sure how to set one up and feel weird asking for stuff.
Oh man thanks for starting that. Can you stop it though lol? I feel weird doing that. I'll zap back the sats to whomever donates
Do you know if the one you're recommending phones home? Others were telling me the bambu can run on off thumb drive and the ender can as well.
Yes.
Thank you sir
So I've been doing some research into these and it looks like the prusa is pretty sweet with large community, community support, open source, good aftermarket options.
I do like the Bambu labs p1s and the ability to use 4 colors and super ease of use. The cost difference is large. I can't help but think of the prusa as a buy once cry once printer though.
Would you trust buying a used on from eBay or is the risk pretty high that you get a dogged out one that sucks nostr:nprofile1qqsyecqkjtca9gxxuetrqtt964nsx052geycxece4nrgk90uv2p5xrsprpmhxue69uhhqun9d45h2mfwwpexjmtpdshxuet5qy28wue69uhnzv3h9cczuvpwxyargwpk8yhszrthwden5te0vfexytnfduhskyd9de
I would look around for a manufacturer refurbished. If you are a beginner, you may want to have the hardware warranty and support.
heated chamber is a killer feature for larger builds and is a must to get good layer attachment for some materials.
Another consideration is how you will store your filament. Vacuum bags will let you keep it dry in between usages. but you should also probably start hoarding silica packages.
I didn't see them listed on the company site. Any ideas where they may list them. Going to check eBay today for a company store there otherwise no idea
