CannaGranny’s Corner a Thread For General BS and Good Will On BudBuilders

i like it!! great beginner model.

Excellent

only one neg i see... that control screen is tiny!! maybe for better eyes it's okay.. might even be able to use wifi to control.

He’s young and doesn’t need glasses so should be okay. He said some things can be controlled by wifi and an app lets him load files directly without a cable.

are parts easy to get?

Unknown at this time.

it has ludacris speed!!!

I had to play it to remember.

i figured as such, just noteworthy but not a deal breaker IMO.

check into this. economical parts that are readily available are kinda important for a cheaper model and especially beginning, mistakes happen..
some parts will need to replaced periodically like nozzles and extruder tubes, print bed coatings, and sometimes extruders can get messed up too. and there's always the chance of a heater or fan, or power supply taking a puke..

parts would be a big one for me. wouldn't want to wait two weeks for a part.

different filaments will cause more wear than others... you mentioned petg, that stuff is rough on some printers trying to keep the heat up. PLA+ (rapid print) is my jam.. it's as tough as petg but soft as pla... it's my goto filament!

He seems happy with what they offer.

I just did a search on their site and it seems to have most of what you note. Most things are cheap, a few are $20-$30. No idea if readily available.

He likes the PLA+ idea. What brand would you recommend? He doesn’t think they have it.

They push a special ams unit that holds four spools, knows where each colour is regardless of location, so he can do multi coloured printing. But if he uses another brand of filament he can manually enter colours location. It’s a separate unit. Not sure he wants it.

according to influencers that i've listened to they say wish they would have bought it from the beginning. they say it's $200 afterwards. imo if it was less that $100 upgrade i would get it. it kind of all depends on how much multi color prints or multi type filament prints he does. filament change out take me about 15-20 seconds so that's a lot of changes to be worth $200 to me. but i don't print hardly any multi color.

right now at this moment my favorite kind is: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0C6XG88RG/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&th=1

He thinks he’ll use it often enough. He plays board games with his old school buddies once a month and is tired of buying all the extras. Printer is going to be cheaper, maybe faster as a lot is manufactured in China.

Thanks, he knows the brand well now. Reading about this for a few years now. He first looked into them for resin. Mono M5S Pro was another brand he liked.

Thanks bud. Appreciate the time.

not to sway him but those resin printers are really pimp for board pieces and intricate models. not really for practical doo dads and stuff but for artsy fartsy those resin drip printers are really cool!!!!

That’s why he wants both. Lol

But I told him to be practical and get the one that does the most he needs for the best price. And research many places before buying. My shopping version of measure twice cut once.

This is about the fourth or fifth printer in the last few years he’s wanted. But I think he’s serious on this Black Friday.

Okay you experts. I’m not up on these but my sons ready to pull the trigger on this for Black Friday. Any thoughts or feedback? He plans to use it for miniatures and models. But also will use petg for some things. Thought I’d ask here before he gets buyers regret.
