Basically title, but I can provide some information.
I’m looking to spend no more than $300 or so. I’m not well versed in different filaments (I’ll be honest, I know nothing) or really anything about 3d printing, but I want to be able to print cup holders for someone I know whose vehicle has none, I imagine heat resistance and strength would be important there. I also do robotics now and would like to be able to make my own small robot chassis and parts. I’m also a Linux user and like FOSS, which I believe is fairly compatible with 3d printing, so I would like to find a printer that doesn’t make me use proprietary software and that I can use with Fedora Linux without too much hassle. I know I’m new to this, and I know I’m in other hobbies where people post things like: “I want to spend no more than 6 dollars to get artificial superintelligence running on an Arduino Nano,” so I hope this isn’t that, and sorry if it is. Thanks in advance.
So far that’s been my experience. I’ve done a number of very simple models in blender even. Sliced and printed them no problem. Every model I’ve downloaded has been just point and click for the most part. I was looking at getting an Ender myself at one point. But I’ve dealt with SLA printing in the past. And know how much the tinkering put me off of it. I still need to get my Mars printer functioning again. I’m having issues with anything sticking to the build plate. I just haven’t had the time to really dick around with it
