i'm tempted to get this really cheap 3d printer https://www.aliexpress.com/item/Abcs-Printing-3D-Printer-Reprap-Prusa-i3-PRO-B-MK8-DIY-Kit-3D-Printer-with-3pcs/32867530879.html
thoughts?
@squirrel Even with shipping, that's surprisingly cheap.
Have you looked at the Maker select mini (or rather, whatever third party printer the selecct mini rebaged?)
@ajroach42 the mini has 12x12 baseplate, this has 20x20
my concern is just that i have no more space in my room for anything else
also shipping from china is easier and cheaper than shipping from the us
@squirrel 20 x 20 sounds much better.
The mini was pretty compact, though.
And yeah, I can understand where that would be the case. I know the mini was essentially just an aliexpress rebadge, but I can't remember what the original was called.
If you do get that one, and you like it, let us know?
@squirrel I can't help with useful advice, but I love the idea of Being On Sale Excitedly. ^_^
(Amazing price, no question. I'd like to know more about it myself)
@squirrel well, sleep on it maybe and if its not on sale anymore its not meant to be? or take the plunge if youre in the market anyway :0
i really want a 3D printer but i neither have the space nor the cash ;;; i definitely want one by the time my nephew is old enough to appreciate that sort of thing
@bugpaws oh i'm sure there will always be other prusa i3 clones in aliexpress for that price
it'll just be a different model, and with it, other quality concerns, is my point
@squirrel "thoughts?"
I like ham.
@squirrel Ahh that price is tempting. :S
i'm mostly just worried about this printer just being like, utter crap (dangerously so) for this price
but it's the only price i could reasonably afford for this print volume
and i'd like that volume so i can finally print that keyboard cover for the pocket chip
i'll probably sleep on it long enough for that printer not to be on sale anymore and others take its place though
