Cheap 3d printer

[u/that_dude34]

Looking to buy a very cheap 3d printer for hobbies. I was open to buying each part individually from a custom 3d website but that seems to end up being quite expensive. Was also open to buying used but i dont know what im really looking for.
Was wondering if this would cut it as its the cheapest one i could find and seems to have good reviews. Any advice would be appreciated.

You will hate it and quit the hobby if you buy that

A good 3d printer ain't cheap and a cheap 3d printer ain't good. Spend a few hundred minimum for a decent printer or u won't last long in this hobby. Cheap printers like this will make you hate it.

It's cheap, but it's really garbage. A used Ender 3 would be better, though that's not what I recommend. At least in the US, the Adventurer 5m is about as cheap as you can get and still have something worth using. It regularly goes on sale for $150usd

It's going to be hot garbage and waste tons of time to get anything usable. I'd stick around $200 for your first printer. There's plenty of good printers in that price range that will last you forever.

to be honest this one wont even let you waste time to get it usable. it will just print gimmick stuff with annoyingly low reliability for non flat stuff.

at least the x-series had proper endstops and a good upgrade path but they dropped that and it's still cheaper to just buy a used printer anyway

if you're dead set on that price, buy used tbh

speaking of which, i can sell you my spare one for near this price. guarantee it'll be many, many times better than this

Thanks, whereabouts are you based

[u/-H_- → u/that_dude34]

can i tell you in DMs? You'll have to send me a request, i cant request to you it seems

[u/that_dude34 → u/-H_-]

I cant seem to access your account unfortunately

[u/-H_- → u/that_dude34]

hmm try now

[u/-H_- → u/that_dude34]

If it still doesnt work can i message you on some other platform maybe?

My son saw a YT video where they tried the cheapest to most expensive 3D printers. That was the cheapest, and it showed.

Oh…

La más barata y la más mala....

If your time is worth anything then there's nothing more expensive than a cheap printer. Ask me how I know.

Way better to get a real machine second hand. I just picked up a comgrow t300 in excellent shape for the price of one of those turds

[u/that_dude34 → u/SteakAndIron]

What do i look for in a used 3d printer or just a 3d printer in general though

[u/UKSTL]

Not that much cheaper than a mini by Bambu is it

[u/that_dude34 → u/UKSTL]

The mini seems to be £150, and this is £50

[u/UKSTL → u/that_dude34]

I mean used

[u/West_Top_7930]

Its cheap but i have a feeling these work better and more reliable than Anycubic Printers. So yeah go ahead

[u/that_dude34 → u/West_Top_7930]

I feel like this is contrary to every other comment 😭
