Experimenting with low cost 3D printing
- socaller 8y agoThank you Ian. I just purchased one after reading your article.
- iansmith9876 8y agoAwesome! Hope you enjoy it, so far mine has been a lot of fun!
- jepler 8y agoI got into 3D printing a few years ago with a Select Mini. Unlike a build-it-yourself delta I had bought a few years earlier for around 5 times as much, this thing actually worked! However, whether you buy a DIY or a complete printer, you'd better anticipate repairs, maybe as often as once every few kilograms of plastic. Inappropriate provisions for flexing wires are the worst problems in my experience, particularly because you will find you need some odd and hard to obtain wiring harness to replace it, and then it'll fail in the same way next time.
- iansmith9876 8y agoI'm hoping this is a common enough printer that parts shouldn't be too hard to find in the future. From what I can tell everything is fairly accessible for fixing. Thanks for the heads up though!
