Hy everyone
I’m a tech enthiast, full time developer and looking a long time to enter in the 3D printer world.
I have been search recenlty for some sugestions on the internet, and looking the options available in my country, mostly on a local aliexpress warehouse (to avoid some unpredictable tax).
I saw some Core XY from Tronxy I saw a lot of Ender 3 and it variants (V2, S1 pro) I saw some SLA (This one i’m a litte scared beacuse of toxity of the material, is that bad ? Like print something to touch for some time) I saw a Fysetech prusa mk3 clone that i discard after watch some bad reviews from long time users I saw the sovol s06 and the sovol s07
All I look will be close to ~500/600 usd in a local wharehose.
The ender 3 v2 will be a littble bit less, and some s1 plus will be a little bit more that that.
My usage will be to make some improvements for my work setup, something that i need in home, some addons for my switch, some charctaers to put on my desk, nothing commercial or that dependes of perfections.
Looks like that the Core XY it’s on trend right now, but I think maybe it’s too much for starts with.
I tend for the sovol s07 right, but i confess that the v roller wheels looks a cheap economy
But what do you guys think about thoes options ? Maybe await to check the neptune 4 ? Worth to buy a cheap printer and made some upgrades ? Like buy a Sovol S06 and put a Klipper by myself later ?
An Ender 3 or similar clone would be a great start. There is a reason they get recommended so much. They are fantastic to learn on, have tons of community support, and can be incrementally upgraded to be a very excellent all arounder. Really, as enticing as others can be, go with the ender or one of its clones. I got a voxellab s3 and I love it but it’s got some pain that I wish weren’t there.
