Best budget 3D Printer ?

Post by nitinbhanushali »

Hey guys! I'm looking to purchase a budget 3D Printer but I'm new to this and need your help.

Essentially what I'll mostly be printing is magnetic connectors that require little (like 0.6 mm) holes on the top for wires to go through. So ideally I need a 3D Printer that has the necessary precision to print such small holes.

Thoughts? Recommendations?

depends what you mean by "budget" but if you can stretch it, you may want to look at Prusa MK3S

Another option is the Creality Ender. For precision, you can get a smaller head (0.2mm), but I'd stick with the stock at first (0.4mm) until you know you need better precision.

Whatever you get, you can always find someone to help here.

I was really impressed with the Thinker SE I just received. 300 x 300 x 400 build volume

GrueMaster has a Hictop 3DP17 I believe he would be willing to part with.
I believe he said it would require a little adjusting and cleaning.

I though about it for myself however already Have two, a 3DP11 and a 3DP12 that have been both been upgraded to the same as a 3DP17.

Eryone just released the ER-20, smaller than the ThinkerS/SE (300 300 400)
