HI all,

Looking for opinion on a good printer primarily for ABS use. I am getting more call for larger ABS prints and looking for something to handle it. I am not going to build an enclosure around a printer so that is off the table at this point.

I have looked at Ultimaker 2+ or 3 but it seems they are 3mm filament which I would rather stay away from. I have a large inventory of 1.75 so I really don’t want to duplicate! However, it doesn’t mean they are out if it really is a good choice for the cost of the machine.

Thanks for your thoughts and suggestions.

Minimum specs.

Needs to be enclosed/mostly enclosed and have a heated bed.

Build volume approx. 250 X 200 X 200mm minimum.

Dual extrusion not mandatory but would be nice.

Direct drive extruder. Prefer 1.75 filament size.

Auto level would be good.

Does not have to be a hot rod! Speed is secondary to quality.
