Home built printer - what is nearest commercial model

Home built printer - what is nearest commercial model
September 11, 2017 05:35PM
I have a home built 3D printer, and all of the slicing software wants to know what brand of printer I'm using. Where can I find a quick list of specs that I can compare my printer to?

If anyone can answer directly, my printer has a heated bed, 125 x 200 x 50 using Marlin software and a MK 8 extruder. Max feed rates are set at 100 mm/sec but that's just derived by experimenting.

If you have a home build printer, build a custom profile in your slicer. You already listed the most of the relevant values.

Only when you build your printer to the exact specs of a "brand" printer you should use an existing profile.

Thanks! I guess I missed that option.
