Happy chinese new year! It is the Year of the Horse!
Been a while but i will keep up the tempo.
Today I am going to discuss about 3D printer.
I am thinking of buying one and putting in my home to print little things that is useful.
2 that I think is ideal are
1) Prusa i3 (Aluminium Model)
We use the Prusa Mendel i2 at work, and i am getting the hang of it. Therefore I am more familiar with the Prusa line of open source 3D printer. If I were to get this, I will built it myself from scratch with reference from BOM and instruction manual found online. Building it myself will let me understand every aspects, the bolts and nuts, and inside out of this machine. Only thing that it is troublesome to source the parts all over website.
I really like the smooth integration and package to it. Probably one of the most affordable printer, it feels like an AIO in the 3D printing arena now. Apart from the convenience, the design is pretty sleek to be put into home. It will come package ready and to be use out of the box. Downside is, i will not understand all aspects of parts in compare to building it myself.
Overall, I think the Prusa is like the Desktop PC and the Buccaneer is like an AIO. Seems like i know which one to go for.
