I am looking to pick up a 3D printer. What is my best option under $350? I’ve looked at a few different models. I know I can pick up a cheaper model kit to build myself and add many upgrades to. I don’t mind the buid your own kits at all, but I don’t necessarily want something I have to do many mods/upgrades to from the start just to have a decent printer.
I have looked at these on eBay/Amazon so far. A couple are over my price budget a little, but if they are much better, then I would spend the extra up front.
Creality CR-10 ( $379 )
Creality Ender 3 ( $188 )
Tronxy X3S ( $335 )
Anycubic i3 Mega ( $248 )
Tevo Flash ( $301)
Tevo Tornado ( $370 )
• Wanhao Duplicator D7.
• Best Cheap 3D Printer Priced Under $1000.
• Prusa i3 MK3.
• Tiertime UP mini 2 ES.
• Snapmaker.
• Prusa i3 MK2S.
• FlashForge Creator Pro.
• Flashforge Finder.
The first question is what are you looking for? Also, is this your first printer? Any practical experience with 3D printing?
This is one to consider. It is a very straight forward and reliable printer. The volume is small than others but it is feature loaded and is a work horse.
I forgot to mention - their support is excellent and there is a great Facebook group for help also.
I would recommend that you save up a bit more ($1000+) to buy a better printer like a Flash Forge or FOLGER TECH REPRAP.
If you must buy a printer at your budget range, my best recommendation(s) would be these:
Folger Tech Rep Rap 2020 ($270)
Maker Select 3D Printer v2 ($330)
Wanhao Duplicator i3 ($400)
