I'd like to ask the community for their feedback on getting a 3D printer.
We are looking at getting a 3D printer with a bed of at least 10x10 (inches) or 254x254x254mm and I'm looking for recommendations (preferably from experience). If you have experience in this arena then please post.
I'm starting this conversation as my friend already let us borrow his FLSUN 3D printer which has been a total disaster as well as what I call a time sucking machine that takes you nowhere. eyeroll tired.
I know there are printers out there that basically work out of the box and/or even work well from being built as a kit and just wanted again to reach out to the community to find some. Thanks
I imagine it will be at least the same quality of the CR-10 which people really stand behind. The 10s has some extra features to beef it up too. Compared to my previous printer this one is much more solid and the components much better.
@Perry_S ...Updates on your printer if you are have been using it? Holiday specials are starting to show up and as such we are watching now...
Also, if anyone else has updates and or even another printer...let's hear it..
Ok.. So, after much consideration and reviews we ended up getting one of the first Creality 3d 10s Pro. He now has over 200 hours of printing with it. We love it. (well I've only got like 5 hours on it since my son is working on a Inmoov).
Highly recommended for printer around that $600 range. I want to thank everyone for their input and I'll snag a few things he has printed and post back here.I have used flsun chinese printers to make two Inmoov robots the first inmoov was made on a flsun pursa standard printer but I needed a larger build platform to build my second Inmoov robot Bruce-e which I just finished , my second flsun printer is a kossel delta with a build platform of 240mm x 240mm x 280MM I paid 350.00 Canadian for the delta with free shipping from china using DHL although DHL had further charges, it took 3 weeks to arrive. I use a glass disk as a build platform and use Aussie Hairspray. the parts never seperate they don't warp and release easily when the glass is cool. both printers run almost every day and over a period of several years. thousand of hours, I use PetG filament but have used ABS filament for smaller parts of you wanted to print large parts in ABS you could easily make an enclosure for a delta. the second Inmoov has a lot of upgrades like tilting neck by Gael, Articulated stomach by B Houston, Aerius planitary gear elbows, that use a HD ez-robot servo. and my own redesigned hands, etc.
I can report back that I have nothing bad to say about the CR-10s I bought. Still working great. My recommendation stands
@Perry_S I'd recommend the Creality-10S pro or even CR-10S. Love it. In fact, my son says he wants to save for another one this summer (maybe the dual extruder version). I even emailed Creatlity a couple of times just to ask a few questions before getting the printer and they were very very helpful
Yes, I own the CR-10s. I highly recommend it.
