(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? Me

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.

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. A

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? `3.1415P265E589T932E846R64338`

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.

I have two of these. I paid $349 for the first one and less than $300 for the second with 3 spools of filament. The only bad thing about them is you have to use their filament. I am going to mod one of them and swap the board with an Arduino and RAMPS. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ "If you don't like donut, then leave it alone.

So I've been using it since boxing day and managed to get a few decent prints out. I'm quite impressed for the price (and probably more impressed with my ability to actually getting it functioning reasonably well!) The printer I bought apparently had some setting on fire issues, so I bought a separate MOSFET board for the heated bed to try and prevent such fires. Initial prints have been to improve the printer.

"Cooling duct" Are you sure? It looks like either a painful sex toy, or a toilet seat for a midget. “Hillary received more votes for president than any white male in U.S. history. Including Donald Trump.
