Nicely priced 3D Printer
cfellows:
For those of you who might be considering a 3D printer, I just ordered one of these:
http://www.monoprice.com/product?p_id=15365
I have no affiliation with these folks, but the printer is only $200 + $13 shipping (for my zip code), and it has some pretty nice features for such a low price. It's all metal construction, factory assembled and calibrated, and it has a heated bed so will print ABS and other filaments requiring the heated bed. The build volume is 4.7" x 4.7" x 4.7", which is somewhat larger than other 3D printers in the same price range. It also has a fairly small foot print and looks rather tidy compared to many of the cheaper 3D printers.
Just my 2 cents worth. Will let you all know how well it works once it gets here.

The specs sure look nice Chuck and the price is unbelievable!! You must have gotten the last on as the website is showing "sold out" as of this morning. Will be looking forward to your review of it.

I was just there for a look and it appears that they restocked. :shrug:

Yeah, I got a little concerned when I saw they were out of stock. But I checked UPS this morning and the shipment is in transit with a scheduled delivery date of Wed, Jun 8. I also show that they are back in stock at this point. I think they just needed to get their web site updated... probably nobody home over the weekend!

It seems good value for a mini printer but I find the build area too small but that's just me. At the prices shown for them it won't be too hard to go the bigger size if you out grow it. Enjoy it and best of all it allows a variety of filament types to play with. PLA is a good option for casting aluminium. Chuck if you can do 3D cad the possibilities are endless especially if making a engine as you could print and prove the fit :Lol:
