Adventurer 5M

If we’re considering just materials alone then yea I clear the cost of most other aftermarket hardtops by a good sum. I bought a printing setup that can churn out all the plastic I need for this project relatively quick which is three printers but I chalked those up to business expenses as I plan on

ngl for Gridfinity and lego storage prints you’ll want something super reliable and consistent, since you’ll be doing a ton of repetitive runs. the Prusa mk4s is probably your safest bet under 1.5k. it’s solid out of the box, works fine with macos (via Prusaslicer) and the support/community is massi

I use a flashforge adventurer 5m the drive gear is definitely not ideal, and if i had a smaller nozzle (i printed the whole thing on a .4mm nozzle) then i probably could have gotten it 100% accurate.

As someone who owns resin printers, CoreXY, and bedslingers, there is nothing more reliable than the A1/A1 mini. The A1s are mechanically simple.

Flashforge Adventurer 5m - absolute workhorse. If you've an extra 80 or so definitely worth upgrading to the pro version!

If you're ONLY getting a 3D printer for this project, DON'T get a 3D printer. Hell, if you're in the US, I'll print you the set of parts myself for the cost of plastic. If you want to dabble in 3D printing, the best thing I ever did was buy big. Don't buy for what you think you want to do, buy for t
