Depends - what are you printing?

Boxes, enclosures, I doubt anything too intricate. No tie interceptors.

(but if the enclosures are big, you'll need a heated bed and maybe some hairspray to prevent/reduce warping)

Hairspray? What does that do? And what's the difference between the two types? Suited to different types of objects? Shall I add one more question mark to my post?

It prevents or reduces warping. Of hair, presumably

Helps the Base Layer stick to the bed (and stay in place/not curl up at the edges).

Abs is stronger* but, generally, it's harder to print such fine details reliably.


*depending how you define strength

If you heat their head to about 160C and they sit very still, sure why not.

No seller reviews, but I think AliPay is pretty secure so wondering it's worth a punt...

I'm also working on a UV resin printer at the moment, got a 405nm laser diode and driver on their way from the States.

I'd imagine so, but Ali Express do offer a money back guarantee type thing, although I've no idea how reliable it is.

It seems to require you to return the item if it's not as described, and I imagine the cost of posting a 3D printer back to china is not going to be insignificant.

Prusa i3 MK2 announced

http://prusaprinters.org/original-prusa-i3-mk2-release/

I assume once the schematics are released they will start to appear on aliexpress.

Which will probably mean the i3 clones will drop in price.

They really seem to have made some great improvements with this upgrade.  I'm thinking of buying one later on.

So what are recommendations for 3D printers worth getting that are under £500(ish) and available to buy now (i.e. not kickstarer/pre-order/etc), have decent build quality, useful & easy to source materials, able to print more than 5cm2, etc?

Either a shitty kit from Aliexpress for about £50-150, or spend a fair bit more than £500 for something that works at least some of the time.

Or back my kickstarter and I'll build myself a house with the money before announcing that the project failed in 4 years time.
