Hi,

We would like to get a FDM printer to complement our Form2.

Some time ago I already asked but our budget now got smaller. I was thinking in a Ultimaker S5, but it is pretty expensive.

For 3000euros/dollars, what would you recommend?

cheers,

I would recommend taking a look at the Prusa MK3, LulzBot Taz 6, and BCN3D series.

I would like something robust and standalone. We had a prusa and there was always something to adjust. We don’t use the printer so often we need something reliable.

The BCN3D looks pretty cool. What is the advantage vs a Makerbot, a Zortrax or an Ultimaker?

thanks

Do you need dual extrusion? Likely not.
Look at the QIDI X-Plus and X-Max. Solid printers with large volumes and excellent support that won’t break a budget.

3000 euros/dollars is a lot of money and you can get a high-quality 3D printer out of it. Ultimaker S5 is a great option but here are some other good 3D printers that you can obtain:

  • CreatBot F300 Dual Extruder 3D Printer
  • Felix Pro 2
  • FELIX 3L
  • Vivedino T-Rex 3.0 Extended Z Axis
  • CreatBot DX/DX PLUS 3D Printer
  • Felix 3.1 3D Printer
  • Formbot T-Rex 2+ Independent Dual Extruder Large 3D Printer

You can get any of these at extremely affordable prices on ‘3D Printers Bay’.
