looking for a good 3d printer

[AlexDoran]

So, IVe got one of my original Mendelmax printers still but its a bit tired.

Can anyone suggest what I'd look at today for a 'decent' budget printer? Dont mind a bit of fettling to get it 100% right as long as things like the extruder work reliably (this always seems to be the main issue on most printers).

Thanks

It's a premium DIY build, iirc (probably i dont), the BOM is going to set you back close to ~800, most of the guys building them dont have access to a Mill so i assume you will save a decent amount on having someone machine the bed etc. If you have a discord account they have a good community there.

Thanks. I have a few machines so can make stuff as needed.

The main attraction to me is that these guys are printing close to 140mm/s with good quality, and have a decent build volume (350mm2).

Does anyone sell these as ready to go? I dont have the time to source the hardware and possibly do the build.

to my knowledge no, might be worth jumping on the reddit or discord and asking the question though.
