    Can you use that $100 creative kids voucher thing on this?

    @daiwik $US - means imported direct, fairly unlikely

    Wow 3d printer for about $100! Times have changed. It even comes with the video. I might get one one day.

      Please spend the extra $70 and get a proper H frame design.

      I have no affiliation with this store, they're just the ones I've suggested all my friends buy when wanting to enter the market, they've been great so far.

    You 100% are getting what you pay for with this printer. It's nothing amazing, and will likely be the cause of much frustration.

    Would suggest to watch some videos before buying.

      Thanks - glad I watched those.

      What would you suggest instead? My six-year-old is a bit of a creative spark.

        Prusa for no hassles or ender 3 if you dont mind a bit of tinkering

      • burkey on 14/08/2021 - 21:36

        Mainly it was about setting the expectation - if you're happy to troubleshoot and spend time getting it tweaked and tuned - it's not bad for the price.
        But if you were to spend 3x the amount, and grab an Ender 3, you're hitting a good middle ground, and will be something more reliable (but still have manual levelling and such).

        I'd agree with the other post around looking at a Prusa - Mini or MKS3, but it will run you quite a bit of money. 6 may be a bit young to assist in the building, but once built, both are pretty damned robust.

        • orangutan on 15/08/2021 - 07:59

          Oh not, do not say this… Troubleshooting and tuning an absolute basic 3D printer like this is really a nightmare, very likely to get nothing to show for after days and month, might as well spend that time playing Lego with your kids…

        Libraries have 3d printers for use.

        Start from their. See if they still want to

        • john71 on 15/08/2021 - 02:10

          Terrific advice. Thank you.

        • orangutan on 15/08/2021 - 08:04

          The last time I checked some Gold Coast libraries have decent Upbox and Mini printers, just not sure how to join the club…

          Remember to update firmware as stock firmware shipped is fire starter with broken thermal runaway protection.

          Ender 3 series may be easier to source parts and upgrades down the line and larger community.

        This is pretty good; youtube some reviews, at $170 they're a bit of a steal.

        • edrift on 15/08/2021 - 08:30

          Thanks mate. That one does look pretty good.

        • edrift on 15/08/2021 - 08:35

          Do you have that actual model or are you recommending it from the on paper specs?

          • MasterScythe on 15/08/2021 - 10:52

            @edrift: Not personally, a mate needed a cheap 3D printer, so we spent a night doing some research before he bought.
            There are tons of youtube reviews from makers on this model.
            The TLDR is that it works amazingly out of the box (for its price) the layers are often just a little wobbly.
            After you've printed your first few models, and tweaked it, the benchies being printed were nearly 1:1 with significantly more expensive competitors.

            My matye seems happy.

            Have a youtube around, there's a lot of info.

            • edrift on 15/08/2021 - 12:54

              @MasterScythe: Thanks.

              Sometimes can't trust YouTube reviews as not everyone discloses if they get paid royalties or fees for posting.

              I watched some and it looks decent.

              Good to hear your mate had a good experience with it

              • MasterScythe on 15/08/2021 - 14:55

                @edrift: I actually havent found a 'maker' channel that will do bias reviews.

                The whole mentality of most makers is either open source, diy, or value for money.

                Capitalism for dishonesty is pretty counter to most of our mindsets.

                • edrift on 16/08/2021 - 14:24

                  @MasterScythe: Thanks.

                  I ordered one with some filament too. Was about $175 delivered with 1kg Gold pla filament (eBay plus discount)

                  • MasterScythe on 16/08/2021 - 17:47

                    @edrift: Assuming you're new to the scene, the biggest 3 tips I can give for printing are:

                    1. The "paper under nozzle" leveling, you'll no doubt read/learn about is actually TOO close, playing cards are better spacing-tools.

                    2. Make your first layer 33% of the rest of your print speed. Yeah its slow, but the first later is where its gonna fail; the molten plastic sticks to itself rather well, so always run it slow

                    3. If your PLA is a solid colour, use the upper-end of the temperature recommendations. If its semi transparent (remembering pla is mist-transparent, in its natural state), then knocking about 10C off your solid colour temps is almost required to stop it being a liquid, heh.

                    Expect the first week of owning it to be hell, same for ANY printer. There will be screws to tighten, belts to lube, tensions to adjust…. Bleh.

                    But I assure you, once a printer is dialed in, unless you're printing display models (as opposed to parts; functional but look rough) it will remain "close enough" for literally whole years after.

                    • edrift on 16/08/2021 - 20:56

                      @MasterScythe: Thanks mate. Will keep that in mind. The playing card thickness is an interesting one.. Everywhere else said paper thickness but I'll trust you on this one.

                      I ordered a roll of abs too. I know it's tricky but I want stronger builds for some stuff, and U know automotive parts are regularly made from abs too

                      • MasterScythe on 16/08/2021 - 21:37

                        @edrift: Abs is a bad choice. Toxic fumes (need an extractor) and you'll need to upgrade the hot-end to not have a teflon tube to be able to print it; because it needs To be 230-260c. PTFE (teflon) starts to break down at 230-245. It doesnt melt till 300+ but it will fume, and become brittle and rough.

                        What you want is petg.

                        If you can cancel the ABS, do, because you need to spend a decent chunk of coin to make the machine safe to print it; plus fume safety, and petg is arguably better in every way anyway.

                        And yes, the paper thickness thing has always been wrong. Consider you're printing at 0.2mm thickness (most people do 0.3mm first layer, to make sure it sticks). A playing card is 0.17mm to 0.24mm thick.

                        Assuming you just buy cheap cards, or use a pokemon card or something, they'll be on the thinner side.

                        Basically, a sheet of paper is so darn thin, not only do you get huge 'elephants foot' on the first layer, but if the chosen plastic is 'thick' even when hot, you dont have enough space to extrude at full speed.

                        • edrift on 16/08/2021 - 21:46

                          @MasterScythe: Ahh bummer.. already been posted so can't cancel.

                          I thought I checked the specs of the machine and it said it could do abs.

                          Well aware of the fumes - plan to print in a ventilated shed in the backyard. It's detached from the house so no concerned about the fumes. I do have a spare air purifier so could run that at the same time too.

    Due to logistics and customs, the products do not include SD cards, U disks, and TF cards.

    I've never heard of this one before!

    • twocsies on 14/08/2021 - 22:20

      Apparently some countries do charge different import duty for sd card than for other products. That said, I think it's more about the logistics of an SD card raising the total cost.
