I play rainbow6 siege quite a bit, and anytime I spot dome security cameras I get the intense urge to take them out.
Yea, the prusa Mk4 is a great option for you, but honestly even an mk3s kit might be worth looking into. Save a bit of money and you can always buy the upgrade kit to the mk4 later down the line of you deem it necessary.
If you want a printer working straight out of the box and don't care about it being closed source, I cannot recommend the p1p enough. it has been night and day change from my last printer. literally just set it and forget it.
I would definitely steer clear of the ender 3s or other i3 style clones. You spend 95% of your time trying to tune and fix your printer instead of actually using it.
Also, since you don't care about printing anything other than pla, you shouldn't need an enclosure. with any of the mk3s, mk4, p1p, or x1c you are going to be able to print pla and petg perfectly fine with minimal tweaking.
Before I can recommend anything, I have to ask you some questions.
Are you wanting a printer that you will spend more time tweaking and modifying than actual printing? Or do you want something that just works right out of the box?
Do you care about it being open source and upgradeable?
What's your price range?
Do you want to print miniatures and other fine detailed objects?
How are the voc's? I just upgraded to a p1p and I've just finishing building out an enclosure for it. Not actually sure what the extruder on this is rated for but I'm upgrading the hotend to hardened steel next so I can print a bento box in asa.
Might give PC a look if it's something I think this printer can handle.
My only problem with petg is it is super susceptible to humidity. And once you get some moisture in there, it gets really sticky and stringy.
I don't think I've ever had a filament jam as often as petg. I do enjoy printing in it though as you almost never have to worry about warping.
They make PC filament? TIL. Seems like it would be really difficult to print with.
You say this like it's a bad thing. If I could get away with just paying for my one hockey team, instead of the legit, 3 fucking services you have to have currently to watch an entire season, I would do it on a heartbeat.
Yea that is the one thing I noticed. Trying to work with a mesh was damn near impossible for me. Makes it annoying if i'm trying to modify an existing .stl. Still haven't really worked out how to do that but one of these days i'll get it.
Fusion 360. Free for home use and it's really not as bad as some people make it out to be. A little tricky to get the hang of first but there are thousands of tutorials out there.
I had absolutely zero 3d modeling experience prior to diving into fusion360 and I am still really new to it, but I'm quite enjoying it.
Finally! And it comes stock with /e/os so that's sweet. Been looking to try that out but don't have a phone currently that supports it.
My second printer arrived a month ago, and im using that to convert my first printer into a voron 0.2. so that only still counts as 2 right?
