If you were to get a printer, for 300 to 400 would you get this one? Also is the steel worth it? for about 100 dollars less I could get a cheap one made of not steal on ebay. What about the Turnigy Fabrikator?by UltiFix - General
I want to get into the 3D printer world and im wondering if this is a good option. I have soldering skills and a bit of arduino skills, think thats enough? Thanks! Samby UltiFix - General
So long story short, my friend gave me a partially assembled 3D printer, (Prusa 2) this is my first 3D printer and I have no idea how to finish putting it together. Most of the frame is together but not alot of the wiring is done, any good resources on how to put this thing together? Im totally lost. Thanks!by UltiFix - General Mendel Topics
Well I got the printer, and I have no idea where to start!? Loose wires and stuff.. Partially assembled.by UltiFix - Reprappers
Sounds good! Im supposed to get the 3D printer tonight, so maybe ill order those tools while I order new part's for it...by UltiFix - Reprappers
Thank you for your help! (Is there a way to mark a thread as solved?)by UltiFix - Reprappers
Shoot, I was planning on using abs. It's a older 3D printer... What voltage do these systems run at? I have a old computer power supply converted into a bench psu which I would be fine using with the 3D printer. But I need to replace my controller to? Here are some more pic's, can you tell if it's a heated bed? After looking at the photoes i think I do have a heated bed Awesome!by UltiFix - Reprappers
Alright, thanks! Yea, im definitely going to use abs. Where do you recomend a buy abs plastic spools? What's a good price?by UltiFix - Reprappers
I honestly don't know. Here are some pictures my friend sent me.by UltiFix - Reprappers
Sounds good! Were do you purchase most of your parts? I honestly have no idea what size filament I should use. I will probably be printing small things like gopro cases, custom camera mounts, and little stuff like that. (Im into the rc world so a 3D printer would be fantastic for making custom mounts) So should I stick with 1.75? Or higher? Thanks! Samby UltiFix - Reprappers
Wow! Thank you! Perfect. Ill get the hotend you recommended! Is this one ok? I even have an ebay giftcard Ill make sure to look at those links you gave me. Thanks for a fast response and informative post!by UltiFix - Reprappers
Newbie here So a friend of mine has a 3D printer mendel and it's partially assembled and he gave up on it. Hes just giving it to me, it will get here soemtime this coming week, about the only thing I know that need's a new part is the hotend. I have no idea which one I need. Does anybody have some good places for me to do some reading? And then any recommendations a fairly cheap hot end? Tby UltiFix - Reprappers
