This one looks pretty sweet!, i love the frame

one thing to mention is how comfortable are you with putting one together vs do you want one that is just ready to go.?

what else is important to you.?

I would rather not put one together, im comfortable to do it but dont really want to, like im spending a bit of money, may as well spend a bit more for a prebuilt system and save myself some time.


okay, id like to ideally print with as many types of filament as possible
- fast speeds, like with my 3d stuff maker printer, im using speeds of 10 mm/s to 20mm/s for infill, takes quite some time to print anything,
- most importantly getting consistent performance with the machine, being able to replace parts on the machine is a bonus,


, do you think id be better off building a custom machine myself?
