xr4x4 Posted May 4, 2016 Share Posted May 4, 2016 I'm keen on buying a 3D printer but as I'm a tight bastard I don't want to spend megga bucks on one. There's a lot of budget ones like this for under £200. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/221985481951?ssPageName=STRK:MESINDXX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1436.l2649 I know you get what you pay for and the idea of a kit is great too, so has anyone built and used the one above or can suggest any other printers < £200 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xr4x4 Posted May 6, 2016 Author Share Posted May 6, 2016 Will do Fon... I went for this one in the end, (Anet A8 3D printer (RepRap Prusa i3)). It should be with me within 7 days. http://www.gearbest.com/3d-printers-3d-printer-kits/pp_343643.html It cost me about £150 with 7 day shipping to the UK, Here's hoping it gets through customs without a snag. From what I have read in a facebook group, they post with Yodel and so far not been caught with customs fees. I'll update when it gets here Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
