3D printer

Unread post by the-mailman » Thu Nov 14, 2019 9:22 am

I've been thinking of getting a 3D printer for Christmas and I know many of you have one. What brand did you have and where did you buy it? Does it work well?

Thanks

I have an Ender 3, which seems to be one of the more popular entry level printers. Rick MacDonald and John Walker have one amongst others.
I have found it to be very easy to operate and have had no problems. Even the tiniest pieces come out well.
Not sure of the price as mine was a present.
Am constantly finding new little fittings to make . Most of the things I have made are from my own drawings. I use Fusion 360 from Autodesk. The nice thing about this is that it is free on a renewable yearly licence to non commercial hobbyists.
