Nice work!
I have to ask (if its possible to get an answer to this), but I can see my review there, for the Prusa I3 MK2, which is fun! But with the points 8.8?
That can’t be correct, or some of my answers must have been wrong or I’ve misinterpreted it?
Would it be possible to have a re-check?
Best Regards
Thanks for letting us know @3dverkstan! I just double checked your ratings and corrected it
Thank you! That’s closer to reality!
Awesome work; I was looking for this sort of collective review and ratings to plan my next printer buy. This did the trick. I won’t get my next printer in time for Xmas but that’s ok - 2017 is going to be loads of fun. Thanks again.
Being the most extensive and consulted 3d printing guides in the world, the 3dHubs Printerguide sorely needs an update. There are 3 major shortcomings:
1. The metrics are not uniform. Most people think their printer prints fine, and that is why a Prusa Mendel gets a 9.0 for print quality, and a Form 2 gets a 9.4. Clearly these are not measured on the same scale and these results cannor be compared.
2. The results need to be weighted for newness. What was acceptable as user friendly (installing python, reprogramming marlin) a few years ago is unthinkable now.
3. These is no one comparing printers side by side. But a lot of people have experience with more than one printer. By using their ability to compare and adding up all these comparisons a much more meaningful data set can be obtained.
I hope we get a better guide in 2018
kind regards from Maarten in Amsterdam ( UP! plus 2 and Form 2)
Awesome work, very helpful guide helps me to choose between diffrent printers when i want to buy one!
Hello. I am a former customer of 3D Hubs. I am a high school teacher and have an outdated Makerbot that heat bed doesn’t work. Could you please recommend a good 3D Printer to be used for high school projects? One thing we need is the printing to be faster as only a tiny print takes heaps of time and time is short in the classroom. Also, noise is an issue. I have looked at the guide but am hoping you can highlight two or three that would be best for my situation.
Thank you so much,I agree with the point…Thats bit close to reality.
