It’s a great printer! It’s my work horse at home (which I use constantly), and it’s so great we’re getting one at work as well. Here are some reviews for the more common 8" Makerfarm Prusa (exact same design, just a smaller frame): Daftar BO Togel Terpercaya | Bandar Togel Deposit 10000 Terbaik 2022
Also, it may be a kit, but it’s by far the fastest I’ve had to build (not a headache like some deltas). It only took me 4 hours to go from start to finish!
I’d also look at Maker Tool Works. Unless you have a spare 30+ hours for building, I’d suggest getting the assembled ones. They have a few different options, and I prefer the V-Rail over Linear-bearings. I completely agree with the others when they say stay clear from Makerbot. Our 2X has had nothing but problems. I think the maintenance is longer than the print times… and we only have 500 print hours on her (we bought it last year). Microcenter’s Powerspec Pro has outperformed it, and is 1/3 of the price. Though, it is starting to act up from time to time. I think that one has more print hours (we bought it in January).
I’ve also owned a Solidoodle, and they’ve clearly gone downhill. Sold that sucker a couple months after I bought it.
I like the MW MendelMax 3 because it is V-Rail, Durable (for a printer), has E3D V6 hotends, very detailed, and a large build volume. It was $1,500. Just my 2 cents.
Sounds like you’ve only had experience with poorly designed kits… I normally wouldn’t recommend a kit printer for a beginner, but Makerfarm’s printers only take 4-8 hours. It’s just the most economical way to get that much build volume that I’ve seen anywhere.
The MM3 Is actually designed to take that long, sadly. Too many T-nuts and bolts for the extrusions IMHO. But, good luck making that printer shake while printing!
Their new sub-$1000 assembly looks promising. I believe that one is 8x9x8".
Oh I’m sorry I missed that, I think the ctc would be too small for our needs, I think build volume is pretty important which makes the Creatr XL very interesting, as well as the Makerfarm Prusa i3v for it’s cost and the build volume is decent
For that kind of commercial work check out Makergear-M2. Notice the consistent positive experiences of users. Build area is 8/10/8 inches. You would have to assemble large stuff, which can sometimes be better.
If you want a sample from the MM3, let me know. I’m in Detroit, and am planning on throwing a few test prints @100Microns when I get my RPi 2 programmed tomorrow. Are you in the U.S.?
PLEASE look at our professional/manufacturing printers before you purchase anything.
We supply them with Simplify3D, Bondtech Extruders with E3D tips and Smoothieboard Electronics for quality printing every time.
We have yet to update our website but the GF printer has passed our extensive testing over the last two weeks and we’d love to show you more of what it can do for your business. We already work with Architects to print large parts about 700mm and how to send the files for printing etc.
The GF pictured has a build Volume of X 400, Y 550 and Z 550mm.
We also use E3D’s Volcano tips if you need to print faster at even 1.0mm layers
Hi, thank you for the info, it looks impressive. Can you tell me what price the GF printer is? - and which architects have purchased it? - i’d really like to see some reviews of it to if you have any, or any architectural work that’s gone through it.
Thanks, as for the pricing and models we have printed, they’re confidential to the clients but please email me david@3d-seed.com and I can tell you a lot more about everything
