I’m a 3D printing wanna-be, not even an amateur. Have seen a few printers, helped assemble one long time ago, played with the software a little, though I have never actually printed anything myself yet. I decided to spend some saved money on a printer for myself.
My goals are getting hands-on experience with printing and being able to use it as a tool in projects/everyday life. I’m considering an FFF one rather than SLA one, mostly due to the toxicity of resin (and costs). Printing speed is unimportant. Print quality matters, but only to some satisfactory degree and it’s not paramount. I imagine I might buy another one in a few years, so I don’t need a printer for life, but it needs to serve sufficiently for this period. I’m open to the possibility of repairing/upgrading it, if it can be done reliably by an amateur.
I’m strongly considering Prusa MINI+, but it’s not a final decision and I’ll be happy to hear your feedback. I’m posting this here in hopes that if I’m making a mistake, people more competent than me will stop me. If there’s anything else you think I should know, I’ll be happy to hear it.
@Machefi@lemmy.world Check Sovol (SV06, Pro, SV07). I’m using it for 6 months and can recommend it. No major problems, just assemble and print. It could have some bed levelling issues, but they can be easily resolved. I have more than 95% of successful prints.
Any recommended mods or upgrades for your Sovol? I just got my sv06 and its printing decent out of the box but I lucked into a used Pi 4B that I’m gunna setup with klipper and mainsail I think. Also would like to figure out an enclosure soon
