First 3D printer advice
First 3D printer advice
Hello, I am looking to buy my first filament 3D printer. Any printer or printer brand you recommend and why? What 3D modeling software is usually used to design? Any tips are welcome! (my budget would be 200-300€) I would like to eventually get into resin printing as well.
You're viewing a single thread.
Hey! I highly recommend the AnyCubic Vyper - it has a decent sized build volume, automatic bed leveling (though it can be a bit problematic), a magnetic build plate, and Bowden extruder. I've had mine for about a year now (had a RepRap for many years before) & I love it.
I don't do much designing, but TinkerCad is fairly simple & worked for most things I wanted to model. Always worth searching online first though; I usually use Thingiverse & Printables.
Happy to hear that! I got myself a Vyper about 2 month ago and I'm very happy with it (no modifications, only calibration).
Wasn't sure if I have low standards or I just got lucky because I don't feel any need to modify or tune the printer. Only had one failed print and that was because I haven't cleaned the printing bed at all and it hat literally sunscreen from my hands on it.
I love Prusa for the great software they provide and I'm a big supporter of open source, but the printers always seem to require a bit of maintenance (which is fine if you like to tinker and tune!)
Cool! Thanks :)
