I'm a novice, so I don't know exactly what a "desktop printer" is, but I would especially like a printer that fits into my budget to start :)
I edited the question. I would have liked to have opinions on the 3 printers I mentioned since I don't know much about them, or else a model in the same budget.
And I had seen the comparison, by the way if @alexandre of the site http://www.priximprimante3d.com passes by here, I am waiting for his feedback on these models!
So like that, without knowing anything about it and completely subjectively ... Your second link is the one I want the most. It is beautiful, the site is well done. In short, nothing but packaging! (Name of zeus, I am a victim of consumer society!)
Otherwise, I think you were careful. But your first link only seems to be compatible with Windows7. You don't have to have switched to the free version10 what;)
That's it, that's all my completely useless contribution^^
Good result for 399€ with little complicated adjustment
Then the more you go up in price the more the software is complete. Personally with all the tests I have done I advise against kit printers, or even would rather go for ultimaker or reprap (but or budjet)
if it's for art and nothing functional the prussa version of the Alu chassis is very good but a 60% success rate (better than the kits where we go down to 30% among neophytes)
Hello .PL, I'm following up on your email that I just received. The first question you have to ask yourself is: what applications do you intend this printer for? This already eliminates a lot of machines, both in terms of print volume and material compatibility.
So what you need to know is what you want to do with it.
Quality of parts, prototyping or complex assembly etc...
The dimensions of the rooms you want to the maximum.
If you want a stew that lasts 1 month, take the prusa i3
The print r bot is expensive for what it contains. You mostly pay for the design.
Either you go for an ultimate wire removal which is the best compromise and the best value for money. This allows you to have a scalable machine. You start without options and you add them little by little according to your request and your budget.
Then you have printers that solidify resin, but I don't know too much.
To answer you about the goal, it's really the introduction to 3D printing for the discovery on a personal level, so I don't know yet what I will be able to produce as a part! And that's why I limited myself to the budget.
@Bart, when you say "ours" is it the one you use in your company? I also thought that we could start using this process in my company, and I would like to "get my hands dirty" on the subject before :)
@Bart The scalable nature of an open-source machine is certainly an undeniable asset, but these printers are intended for users with a minimum of experience and a minimum of tinkerers - which does not seem to be the case with .PL.
The problem is that under 500 € you essentially have open-source models or machines that have not yet proven themselves. It would be better if you agreed to put a little more money and have a machine that really suits your needs and your level of experience.
Personally I would recommend the Up-Mini (797 €) which would be a good compromise. A plug and play, reliable and proven machine.
MOD-T, it's too fresh... Lack of hindsight, personally I won't take the risk. All these low-cost models from crowdfunding, it is better to wait 1 year, the time to have the first feedback. Regarding the M3D, it is not bad for "recreational" and discovery use, the downside is that it is very slow (my review article). Lack of hindsight also for the PrintrBot Play.
