I never have been a fan of Kogan but this deal seems too hard to pass up as I have been looking at getting a 3D printer. Prices for these printers have always been too high and delivery from overseas can just kill the deal. So a printer at this price mark is a good option until the prices of some of the top models drop. It has won the 2014 CES Editors' Choice Award Winner - Most Affordable 3D Printer

This is what Kogan Says about it:

Print and make a limitless range of customisable items including toys, models, spare parts for household appliances, figurines, phone cases, jewellery and more!

Create anything your imagination can conceive
1000s of free printable, customisable designs await online
Create products that are smooth to touch, without any sanding or finishing
Be amazed at just how easy it is!
The da Vinci 1.0 3D Printer from XYZprinting utilises high precision, state of the art technology to allow you to create anything you can imagine. Everything in your life, including homewares, hobbies, DIY, fashion, sports, gifts and more can be made easier and more personal, with your own designs available at the press of a button.

Delivery is after June.

    Can it make a gun?

    • Gnostikos on 08/05/2014 - 14:58

      Somehow I doubt it. Considering the original printer Defense Distributed used for its AR lower receiver, was the size of two fridges side-by-side and cost over $20,000 USD.

      Though apparently the NSW Police actually downloaded the STL files for the Liberator (.380 single-shot pistol; entirely ABS plastic) and using a $1700 3D printer, managed to make a working gun using a nail as a firing pin. Took about 27 hours to print; the first attempt worked, the second attempt didn't.

      Even if it can, and even if it's functional, it's a still a moot issue in Australia considering that unless you're a bikie or you've jumped through the umpteenth hoop to become a registered gun owner, the ammunition is going to be hard to come by.

      • fruit on 10/05/2014 - 13:37

        Not to mention you'll likely blow your hand off.

        • Gnostikos on 10/05/2014 - 14:21

          Powder burns and stray bits of lead/copper in your hand? Maybe. Blowing it off? Unlikely with a tiny .380 ACP cartridge.

          Defense Distributed made its 600-round lower receiver milestone last year; went through 600+ rounds of .223 (a.k.a. 5.56m) without failure. The technology is advancing incredibly rapidly.

    • pinoy on 08/05/2014 - 15:08

      yes it can… 1" keyring gun or a minime gun! which gun u talkin about?

      I haven't heard of an entire 3D printer being made by a 3D printer as I still think that's beyond current tech however a 3D printer called RepRap has been around for quite a few years and it can print many of its own parts http://reprap.org/wiki/RepRap

  • jv on 08/05/2014 - 14:38

    How much is the price of ink for these?

    • wiffery on 08/05/2014 - 14:39

      $39 from Kogan for "ink" (read: filament)

        $39 per decibel?

        • Krizy on 10/05/2014 - 23:20

          For an extra $100 you can buy a 3D printer that goes up to 11.

    • cazna52 on 08/05/2014 - 15:55

      If you order your filament from china via Aliexpress like I do and buy a few spindles at a time to save on postage you can get ABS for under $20 per KG and PLA for about $20-30 but I have had some issues with some of the rolls not being very consistent with their filament diameter. My printer takes 1.75mm filament and the "1.75mm" filament I have bought sometimes varies between about 1.6 and 1.8 which are too far from spec to work properly.

      I recon I have about a 85% success rate with spools from aliexpress.

    We've got a 3D printer here at work (Replicator 2x) and I would personally not buy this printer.

    A few things that 'worry' me. First, the filament looks proprietary. You might be able to break the box open and load your own filament, but this would be a hassle. Imagine unrolling fishing line and re-rolling onto a smaller spool without any special tools, and the line is stiff and hard to manage.

    The other issue is the software that comes with it. 3D printers are only as good as the software that runs it. If the software is crap you'll get bored of the printer very quickly (get bad results). It does state in the specs it uses STL format which is a pretty standard 3D format, but I'm still skeptical, like does it handle it natively or does it convert it?

    • mafmouf on 08/05/2014 - 15:11

      I thought most printers convert the STL to gcode based on the printing parameters.

      Why not a cordless drill and a piece of dowel clamped in a vice ?

      • Ebany on 09/05/2014 - 14:39

        You'd also need some sort of Archimedes to guide the wire on, could be more of a pain then it's worth.

    • Russ on 08/05/2014 - 22:24

      Even if you can re-wind the spool, it may not work. The $25K printer I have experience with, knows how much line is in the spool, and won't wind any more out once it has reached that length. It just says "empty".

      It's all the bad things about proprietary ink and toner cartridges, repeated again, but this time in a 3D printer. This printer might not have chipped cartridges, but I think it pretty unlikely when the profit model is so well proven.

  • Twodogs on 08/05/2014 - 15:25

    These look pretty good here's some info from CES 2014

    The da Vinci 1.0 at CES 2014 and where it was awarded a “CES Editors Choice Award”. Retailing at just $499 with a build volume of 200 x 200 x 200mm (7.8″ x 7.8″ x 7.8″), it also has an “auto adjusting build plate” and uses proprietary XYZ printing filament cartridges. XYZprinting’s site also indicates that they have a “XYZ Cloud” website where they will provide free 3D printable models but it doesn’t seem to be live at the time of this writing. Their site also mentions that their free 3D modeling & printing software “XYZware” is coming soon.

    Here’s Michael Curry’s take on the da Vinci 1.0:

    XYZ Printing came of nowhere and showed up at CES with a $499 machine. Information on the da Vinci’s capabilities was limited, but that machine looks light years ahead of anything else at that $499 price point.

    Cheers

    For those who interested in 3d printer, M3D may be a better option.
    https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/m3d/the-micro-the-first…
    Even though their kickstarter project has ended, you can still order directly from their website. The price is $349 for the unit + $70 shipping cost.
    Multi-color filament is $13/roll as well :)

    • lnq on 08/05/2014 - 17:21

      well, you need this as well to complete your 3d print.

      Sounds promising … but please be aware that a lot of Kickstarter projects are very late (a year is very common) even when it is on time you will receive the printer in Feb 2015. Also there is the risk that you might not receive anything when the project fails.

      • sushiyasha on 08/05/2014 - 19:18

        Well I understand your concern but hopefully this project will not go that direction. They received so much attention from the press as well, that's why they got about $2 mil right after 2 days, quite a bomb on kickstarter I must say

        • mini_wombat on 08/05/2014 - 19:33
          +2

          It's usually the projects which get overfunded a lot which are at a higher risk to be delayed (personal opinion) … it does not matter at all how many attention they got from the press … only time will tell.

          I just received this week my

          Instacube - https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1084349160/instacube-a-…
          1 year 2 month late (+ an extra payment of 20$ for shipping - which was initially promised as included)

          and

          Astro - https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1530895202/astro-time-l…
          1 year and 5 months late

          Both projects well funded above their goal … at least they got delivered … but at least they got delivered - some never see the light and your money is gone - https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1116966310/multi-touch-…

          It's just a little warning to be aware of this. It is not an uncommon risk at Kickstarter.

          It is a very interesting product at that price … but it will be available at that price when the project will be successful … I would just wait until this device becomes available.

    • [Deactivated] on 08/05/2014 - 19:23

      May I suggest that you do some market research re. demand for your erm body parts first,before you invest in a 3D printer. I've seen a couple of vibrators, in japan of all places, and they looked nothing like the real thing.
      They were more bullet-shaped, candy-coloured and came with a remote. can't really compete with that.

    Hahaha. Told about this printer to my brother inlaw. He bought one and he absolutely has no idea why or what he's gona do with it. I'll wait till he gets it and ignore all of his request for a hand till he gives up… Then I'll offer him 1/2 price for it.

  • effgee on 08/05/2014 - 21:21

    The trick with this and every other printer, 2D or 3D, is cost of consumables.
    Unless it basically doesn't work (you lose), you will spend way more than the purchase price on filament (you win, at a cost).

    I'm very dubious at the custom filament that this one demands. It would have to be very easy to set-up, easy to use and highly reliable to justify being locked into a single supplier of filament.

    • Russ on 08/05/2014 - 22:29

      Agree, but is there any way to avoid custom filament, other than buying/making a RepRap machine?

  • zargonb on 09/05/2014 - 11:24

    I've decided to buy one of these to "start somewhere". Getting a 5 year ext warranty too. I noted that if I add some cartridges to the order it adds the 5 year warranty to the cartridges too. Adds $20 to the cost which is not that much but according to Kogan, their system has no way round this; it just adds the warranty to all cart items… Something for others to keep in mind. Still cheaper to order all together though and pay the $20 as 5 different items in the cart gets free delivery and saves me about $80 all up.

    • fruit on 10/05/2014 - 13:40

      A true OzBargainer would know his rights under the Australian Consumer Law and that extended warranties are a crock.

  • Scouttman on 10/05/2014 - 08:56

    You guys might want to look at this post http://voltivo.com/blog/da-vinci-reset-eeprom.
    Although most will not be willing to hack their machines to use standard filament it might be worth it for others.
    Additional this video www.youtube.com/watch?v=V1UhqT5iOXk shows standard g-code running on the machine.
    This allows you to use more open software although makes it significantly harder just print something.
