Comment on I love that SNW kept that detail in the uniform
thisbenzingring@lemmy.sdf.org 1 year agoFind one used and be willing to tear it down and put it back together. Print extra parts once you have the process down. Prusa has kits if you’re willing to pay for a premium. Both assembled and built it all from parts.
Good 3d printers will have good instructions for repairs. Putting it together from parts is what you should really consider doing. Because 3d printers have a lot of movement and that needs to be corrected at times. If you spend the initial time to assemble it, breaking it down to fix something isn’t something to stress about.
Either way it’s a rollercoaster of an experience. Once you feel like you’re comfortable doing the first prints, you will look deeper into the abyss…

Most people understand how basic 3D printers are. They’d be way better if it wasn’t for all the 70s patents holding them back for decades.
