3d Printer?

[MrBen]

Anyone here got one? Thinking about it budget £500-£1000 not afraid to build a kit, would prefer heated bed, fast, fine nozzle, enclosed, also be able to use both types of material

I've been looking at a few recently it's where to enter the game

I have been looking at this as for its price but not sure if I want sum at better , seems lots of people build there own later on anyhow so I was looking for a kit one really also

It has a few problems but lots of YouTube vids on how to fix and make it work really good


If others have them please post

looks good , but like the conventional design of the other have to do some reading , more I read theres not much to filament 3d printers realy just like a cnc router at roots , I do like the vslot aluminium  profiles if you search openbuild cnc

if you make plates up you can make any machine with the stuff

do like idea of servo motors over stepper motors also

this is ready to go where as the last one I linked was a 20 hour build in kit form!

edit : works out at £625 shipped however customs could easily be another £100+ on that

Ben , I have had some success with the Velleman K8200. Bought it for £500 and it's been used for prototyping at work. You can pick em up at Maplins of all places as a kit. It took me a week, on and off, to put it together. Pretty easy but the soldering got a bit tedious. Back u p for parts and support is really good.

Heater bed is spot on if you use a 300 square mirror from b and q on top of the heater bed and use pva on the mirror !

lots of people do seem to use the k8200 and its spose to be good once you sort motor mounting and bed out
