I am looking at the cube or cubex

DJ will this work with your new release

Obviously you can read reviews but cubify has the top rated but the solidoodle with the heated bed , metal frame and door upgrades sheilds it from drafts. http://hothardware.com/m/Reviews/The-Definitive-3D-Printer-Roundup-Cubify-Up-Solidoodle/default.aspx

I am honestly considering getting the solidoodle 2 or 3 because its within my budget , the cubify is awesome and if I get enough people having parts printed then maybe one day I can justify the cubify. Even if prints are not super high resolution I could clean them up with some 800 grit with soap and water.

@JOSH i heard good thing things about solidoodle and thats one i am looking at to get.

But will look at other ideas,i need fair good prints,low cost since only doing a few prints.

i'll go for the cube or the cubeX also. are cheap, easy to use, good quality, and good for prototyping.

yes buying a factory 3-d printer will be more reliable but what is the fun in that. I stumble across this kick starter project for home 3-d printing less than $500 http://news.cnet.com/8301-11386_3-57587371-76/home-3d-printer-for-under-$500-excites-kickstarter/

@pj_dtechy you read it wrong its $447 plus $50 shipping. info near bottom of page.

But still a very good deal depending on the quality. Need a few servo motors ,control board and spool holder and print head ,heater coil ,gears and a lot more,control might be able to use EZB Would be a great EZB project mmmm may be me.

Pirate3D already has working prototypes. The Kickstarter fundraising is geared to help move the development schedule along and get the machine into production. A $447 pledge includes a $50 shipping charge and gets you a Buccaneer along with five extra cartridges of print material. Additional cartridges will sell for $12.

JOSH am i correct on this.

actually had put less than $500, the second 0 was embedded into the link which cause it not to show. posting from my cell, I apologize.

Not a problem PJ_DTECHY Not really your fault just want others to know the correct price,but still a very good deal and a great link.

I look at a idea to make one like a xy table with a print head and heater,big problem is the software but i think with EZB and camera it can be done and may be less or using optical encoders and EZB.

Table part is easy and heater and motors,only print head i see as a problem needs to be like a electronic feeder.

ELECTRONICS and motors i design a lot,only some coding is hard for me but ezb is mostly easy.
