you could sell small prints for other poorfags

dont break my dreams

it's like $150 on hobbyking

im an ausbong so dont forget a lot of this shit isnt available

and out of stock atm, but

just find a way to earn some money back with that shit

@Frostjunkie nah i got other plans for shit

dont care about making money back with a 3d printer

the only semi-reasonable option cheaper than the x3 i can think of is a maylan m200

it's a couple bucks cheaper and like

why not any of the i3 clones

fkn 1/12 the build volume

tiny

the x3 is baaasically an i3 clone

the aluminum frame is more rigid than the more direct i3 clone i3 clones' frames though

ringing artifacts are a big problem with the acrylic sheet frames and even most steel sheet frames

doubt id care

i have like 0 standards for this shit

you will if you're printing headphone baffles

nah

ive been cutting them out of plastics by hand with some shears

accuracy means fuck all to me

i can sand shit down and add fillers as necessary

regardless you're gonna have a hard time finding anything cheaper than a tronxy x3 that's at all worth the effort of making it run

even if you go full diy

ye of little faith

hell, upgrading my wanhao i3 to use the chimera instead of the stock hotend has cost more than an x3

and i cut so many corners, especially on the electronics

Anet A8 has gone up in price it seems

slightly

if you really wanted to go budget you could just order ramps/stepper motors/bearings /e3d v6 clone/heated bed/smooth rods

and build a prusa frame with a sheet of plywood and threaded rods

maybe end up with something like that

arduino mega +ramps + stepper drivers + cooling for the stepper drivers is gonna be like $30, if you cheap out, you need _minimum_ four steppers, one for each axis and one for extruder, that's gonna be another $40, hotend + heater + thermistor will be another $15 or so, then the rods, belts, bearings, bearing blocks, couplers, small hardware, etc. you can expect to spend at _least_ another $50 on, and if you don't have someone to 3d print carriages and the like for you expect to spend a cool hundred bucks more

kits have gotten below the price point of diy unless you already have most of the parts on hand from other projects

Do not update your mi mix 2 to Oreo, the file picker is broken

It's impossible to select any file
