After literally a week of research, I believe I've found the kit for me. I've owned a crappy i3, printrbot and Robo 3d R1+. I've unfortunately had to sell them all over the years (I hated the i3 and the printrbot was too small, but the robo sucked to sell). Basically, I'm trying to find a really decent, rarely railing 3d printer for a maximum of $800. I feel I could do better than the Robo if I went for a kit, and so far, it seems the best kit I've found is the MakerFarm Pegasus 10". I really want a decent build volume and something that is very reliable. I'm fine with adding things over time. Basically, I wanted to know if anyone else had any suggestions before I make the purchase. Thank you. https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?1,624083,624083#msg-624083 Sat, 18 Jul 2026 22:54:12 -0400 Phorum 5.2.23 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?1,624083,625198#msg-625198 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?1,624083,625198#msg-625198 Roger123D General Thu, 11 Feb 2016 23:47:48 -0500 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?1,624083,624109#msg-624109 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?1,624083,624109#msg-624109 fatesalign General Tue, 09 Feb 2016 18:49:30 -0500 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?1,624083,624108#msg-624108 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?1,624083,624108#msg-624108 epicepee General Tue, 09 Feb 2016 18:48:19 -0500 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?1,624083,624097#msg-624097 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?1,624083,624097#msg-624097 reprap.org]
Yes it's based upon the i3 but it's using steel for the frame not MDF or laser cut acrylic so it's less likely to flex or go out of being square.
As trying to print with a twisted frame is near on impossible]]> orictosh General Tue, 09 Feb 2016 18:15:18 -0500 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?1,624083,624083#msg-624083 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?1,624083,624083#msg-624083
