What 3D printer you recommend?

[gilhrpenner]

Hello everyone, sorry if there's any topic related to that already but I couldn't find.
I'd like to know what 3d printer is everyone using.

I bought myself Prusa i3 to make a prosthetic hand for me, turns out that this printer isn't that great - my mistake not doing a better research - anyways, I got what I paid for, right?

I don't wanna make the same mistake again, I open to advice.
My friend has a Robo 3D printerlink here, it printed a small worm gear really good, thing that mine couldn't do.

Anyways, I hope to hear a few feedbacks and make up my mind.
Thanks

Generally, the best desktop 3D printer is an Ultimaker 2. It's 2,500, but e make volunteers can get a discount from 3D universe.

Ultimakers use 3mm filament and Bowden extrusion, so the motors have a lot less to move around, allowing it to print faster and more precisely. Also, the heated bed and closed print chamber opens the door for things like ABS or nylon prints, which make much more durrable prints, when compared with PLA.

Another good option is the FlashForge. It's a good quality makerbot clone, that pretty regularly gets placed right behind Ultimaker, and makes similarly good prints.

Thanks, that was very helpful!
I tried printing ABS with my Prusa I3, even with heated bed I have problems.

If you're ABS is having trouble sticking, aquanet hair spray, glue sticks, and painters tape are all community favorites for bed adhesion.

If the problem is warping, print in an enclosed space in a warm room. Maybe screen consider using a space heater to keep everything warm. This will also help bed adhesion, as warping can be a cause of adhesion problems.

The problem is sticking the ABS to the bed.
I tried all options above, I think it's because my bed doesn't warm up over 80C.

I gotta try some insulation under the bed to try to warm it better.

The Technology of printing physical 3D objects from digital data using vertical axis manufacturing process is called "additive manufacturing."

The amount of material, the rotation of the platform and the design of the object is administered in a computer controlled environment.

This technology allows for complex shape, size and dimensions which are not easily or economically available using traditional manufacturing tooling methods. 3D printing services allows low cost production of highly specific, low volume products or mass markets quicker.

Remove unwanted restrictions to your designs, produce prototypes as one unit or pre-built unit assembly to aid in mass manufacturing.

Flashforge is a good option. They have several models (creator pro, finder, dreamer). You can to go the website http://www.flashforge.com.hk and check which models is suitable for you.

I'm currently using the Prusa i3. Has a single extruder, works with ABS and PLA. Cost around $400. It's an open machine meaning the extruder and heated bed are open to the air. The noise is tolerable (I've heard much worse from a Makerbot Replicator 2, my previous printer due to a loose frame) and I do recommend keeping the room ventilated with some air circulation as the heated bed and extruder will heat up the room considerably.

Ultimakers use 3mm filament and Bodden extrusion, so there is very little to hang around motors so that it can be printed faster and more accurately. In addition, the hotbed and closed printed room opens the door for things like ABS or nylon print, which prints too much drabble compared with PLA.

New guy here.. just found out about this group and would like to mention the printer I have recently purchased (Feb)
The MakerGear M2 is $1800 and one of the most solid units out there for years. If you search best 3D printer for the past 4 year it was always at the top and why I bought it. .. Do some google searchers..

many varieties of 3d printers and you can choose according to your requirement. Also, printers manufactured are also very affordable.I am giving link of the site, you can visit it to a supporter.
