Large 3D printer. Which one?

[vvvyper]

Hi All! I’d like to buy a 3d printer, my first one, to make some shoe components, but it’s sooo difficult choosing! Then I ask for your help.

Here what I need:

- Printing a lot of different materials, including TPU, Polycarbonate, Wood, Ceramics, Nylon, Nylon/carbon…

- Printing size at least 370x300 mm. Height on Z is not really important, 200 mm is enough!

- Great resolution // Speed is not important for me!

- Possibility to use double extruder or laser engraver

- I can buld a kit, no problem!

Currently I am looking:

- Creality CR-10 https://www.gearbest.com/3d-printers-3d-printer-kits/pp\_441281.html

- Folger Tech FT-5 R2 https://folgertech.com/products/folger-tech-ft-5-large-scale-3d-printer-kit

- Formbot t-rex FORMBOT Big Scale 3D Printer T-Rex with 400x400x450mm Print Size,T-Rex (moooolto più costosa.Come mai?)

- Tevo Black Widow https://tevo3dprinterstore.com/products/coming-soon

- HE3D H500 https://www.gearbest.com/3d-printers-3d-printer-kits/pp\_948114.html

Out of those which you mentioned, Tevo Black Widow 3D Printer Kit is a cost-effective alternative and a good one too. Also, HE3D H500 Large Format 3D Printer is also a good option to get prints in the desired resolution.
And apart from all the above mentioned ones, you could get Wanhao Duplicator 6 which works perfectly to offer prints with many kinds of printing materials.

I love my CR-10 and would totally recommend it. I made a lot of videos on my youtube channel about it here: www.youtube.com/3dnow The CR-10 has been one of the best selling 3d printers for a while now for plenty of reasons; Low price, huge heated bed, many materials, fast printing, great build quality, easy to use, etc.

I have a coupon to get the CR-10 on Gearbest for $339.99, which is by far the lowest price I can find.

The coupon code is: 11CR10US

With the extra money, you can save it or buy a lot of filament! Dual extruders is cool, but a little hard for beginners.

Let me know if you have any questions!!
