[TANKS] 3D printers

2016-05-03 Thread Caleb Smith 
I have one of these.

While it doesn't come preassembled like the Printbot or Da Vinci, it comes with 
an exellent assembly video that walks you through each step.  Building takes a 
few hours and you're pretty much ready to start printing. Calibration was very 
easy. Customer service with that company is exellent. They replaced a piece 
that was broken, plus sent a new power supply when mine died after a few 
minutes of use. I've since switched to using a Corsair PSU for the power supply.

All in all, I would recommend this as a first time printer if you feel 
adventurous and confident in yourself. If you don't, I'd go with a preassembled 
printer with a large user base that you can refer to for help and general info.

 I can recommend the Printrbot simple. We have them at school after I bought a 
personal one and tested it for 6 months and they print very well right out of 
the box. Also, if something goes wrong, the most expensive thing on them is the 
control board and that's less than $100. 
That would be in the same price range as the davinci. I know nothing about the 
davinci however.

[TANKS] 3D printers

2016-05-03 Thread 'neroc1' via R/C Tank Combat 
Im looking at buying a 3D printer , I have heard much talk of them on here, 
Im wondering what type to buy,
If any of the tankers who own / use a 3D printer could tell me what they 
bought and what they think of it Id be very grateful.
One I have my eye on is the Da vinci
