purchase tips before 3d printer

[kygon]

:smile: hi to everyone, I'm a mechanical engineering student and I think it's time to see some of my designs on solidworks

I've been looking for a month now the printer that could do to my case, but as an accomplice, I haven't yet been able to find the solution that most suits me.

I was initially interested in galileo xyz pro; at the expense of previous models with the latest available firmware has become completely open source (now you can also use non-owner slicers as care and slic3r) however reading around the quality of prints does not seem excellent. (correct me if I'm wrong)

continuing the research I came across also in the robo3d r1 plus, however it does not seem to be easily distributed in Europe and between taxes and shipment I would pay over 300 euros from the price present on their site.

to start I think that even a prusa kit could go well, and in this regard I had considered the "original kit" itching i3 (updated in February 2016 with the e3d extruder) however I can not find many comments around and I can not understand what the report "print/reliability quality".

If someone could clarify my ideas I would be infinitely grateful, in particular I am looking for a model that allows me to print abs (which I think would use more often than the pla), with a sufficiently large print plate (at least 18x18x18mm) and with a price that does not exceed 1100 euro VAT included.

thanks to all in advance

ps: I was also evaluating the craftbot plus though slightly off budget. What do you think?

I and many friends use the micromake with changes we have. we print pieces 25 cm in diameter for 30cm in height without problems, speed definitely higher than Cartesian and if well calibrated respects the cent. Really. If you haven't bought it yet, contact me we're from the same region.

the report "print quality/reliability" is difficult to assess. If you want a good starting point on your choice, go to the 3dhubs website. you will find a guide on choosing the stamoante according to what you want to do.
personally, I prefer to have a printer with the mobile plate rather than the nozzle, but it is my thought.
