A friend bought a Prusa i3 Mk3 a couple of months ago and I must say I've been damn impressed with it so far.
I've even considered selling both of my Ormerods (or even just discarding them) and buying the Mk3!
I'm now giving my better Ormerod 2 one last chance to come up to scratch....

I decided that my hobby is not 3D printing and messing with my printer - the printer is a tool to use to further my other interests.

That being said, I'm still glad I got into printing when I did. We all learned a lot through fiddling, and this group was always incredible.

Cantilever elevators can work. That one looks like a spring board.
Have a look at the core xy systems if that one has interested you. Less moving mass, both motors controling the x & y axis are stationery.

The Creality Ender 3 was also in my wishlist but importing to South Africa does not make it worth at all.
The Crealirty Ender 5 was released a few weeks ago and boy does it look exciting!
Have a look at the video.

That is way less than the quotes I have been getting.Quote

I bought both my Ender 3's locally in SA (I wanted some sort of local support) and I'm very happy. They were under R4000 each which for the performance of the printer is a great price. The supplier brings them in by ship which reduces costs.

Perhaps you can point me in the direction of that suplier?
