Someone here into 3d printing? Got into the hobby end of last year and built my own new printer this year. I love this hobby! So great to print custom housings for your build electronics.

    I really want one but they are **really** expensive!

    I cant afford one!

    @HampusMa look at the Creality Ender 3. You can get one for 150-200 Bucks. And it produces great results for the bucks!

    @Gablern Thingiverse is great! I posted the printer also over there: https://thingiverse.com/thing:29054...

    There are some other platforms, too. But I like this one the most up to now.

    @iKameo it is a custom build. Based on the Ultimaker I created every part from scratch. I posted a link to Thingiverse in another comment.

    3D Printer developer here!
    Nice printer. What firmware are you using?

    @iKameo the bed and the hotend (e3d V6) were quite expensive. The extruder is a clone titan. I think all together it was not a cheap build :D Around 350€ maybe? (electronics used from old Anet A8 printer)

    @LuxARTS Thank you! I am using the Klipper Firmware. Was using Marlin before.

    Wait, you built this one?
    really nice work.
    Starting here with an Anet A8

    @GyroGearloose yes. I started with an Anet A8 last December and decided in January to design my own printer. 8 months later this baby was born ;) In fact I still use some parts of the Anet on this one (for example the motors).

    @geaz That's a nice upgrade

    I've got a 3D printer at home, really need to get back into it. Been using OpenSCAD to make my custom models.

    @Toshib-htr OpenSCAD seems really nice, but I never had something I wanted to model with it. The next part with variable sizes will be done with OpenSCAD.

    OpenSCAD seems to be a nice one, but I heard about other alternatives. Interesting, how this CAD would work with continuous fiber 3D printing https://anisoprint.com/ 3d printers? I know that the repair shop near me is gonna buy a few of these printers and they probably gonna use OpenSCAD too.
