I am not in the US but near-by to something that is equivalent to a microcenter! My budget is 200 for the printer, and 300$ is my max for including filament and extras. My roomate has two printers, a ender 3 clone and a TwoTree SP-5. I've been really liking the SP-5, but 400-500$ is a little much for what im doing.

Ideally it could be something that is brand locked little as possible

Hmm ive dont know much about the players in the 3D printer market, nor the drama, but from the site Elegoo has reasonable prices for something that looks pretty decent

Hey! Thanks for the reply! Auto-leveling is something my roommate has never had so i've never experienced what youre describing, but I do see how that would get rid of lots of faff.

I, like others have mentioned, would love to know how "locked down" a company/brand makes they products. I know there are a lot of Ender 3 clones, and I wonder if going with something like that would keep it really diy while also being based on a tried and tested product.

Hey! Thanks for the reply! The fact that this is subjective is extremely true.

My budget is roughly 200$ for the machine alone, with a max of 300$ with filament, extras, etc.

I've had access to a roommate's 3D printer, but they'll be moving away soon :(

Wondering if people have takes on machines that are considered entry level today but may have evolved handy features since, well, when you were an entry level user.

If this isn't the right place for this please be nice I'm sorry

EDIT: okay I left out way too much detail for this to be answerable.

I've been printing for a year, so im not absolute beginner tier, and can benefit from some of the fancy gizmos like auto leveling, multi filament, etc. but i dont really venture beyond PETG and PLA. I mostly use 3D printing in other maker/diy projects; creating custom fixtures, quick tools and jigs, attachments for sewing machines, table saws, tool organization etc. You get the idea. Im not a mechanical engineer or prototyping medical equipment. I just really enjoy the power of being able to model something i need, print it, and immediate use it to complete a project. I dont do any figurines.

My budget is a maximum of 300 canadian dollars, including filaments, replacement parts, and add-ons. I am impartial to any brands or companies, i actually would perfer something that doesnt have proprietary bullshit, but the printers my roommate have are a (GEETECH) Ender 3 Clone and a TwoTree SP-5. The two tree is really awesome, but also over kill for what i need personally.

Other considerations are that It should be relatively compact, not mini/micro or anything, I would rather print twice or rearrange the models on the print bed some times and have more space than the other way around.

Holy shit the most painful and miserable experience is using this god forsaken site, let alone the fucking mobile app. Actually rage inducing.

The reason for Android's Notification system being better than iOS, is solely due to the ability to turn off individual aspects of an application's notifications. in c/android

Yeah works well until I have like 6 undismissable notifications that clutter my shit :(

Personally I've played a hell of a lot of HexArena. Just a simple, low intensity game that runs well and is maintained :))

And before anyone says it, chess and go are great browser games!

How does this instance feel about this growing pact against federating with Meta? in c/main@sh.itjust.works

[-] pico@sh.itjust.works 13 points 1 year ago

the whole reason im on fedi is to get away from megacorp social media and seeing them starting to creep into the space is kinda sad. I will drop any server that would federate with them, but hoping that is still a viable option and not just me turning off my router forever.
