(bigger volume, better support) Click to expand... And a heated bed so you can do ABS. The A8 is a much better printer. But my point for the SMARTT is $99 is the NORMAL price, not a sale price and $125 gets you 2 spools of PLA included.

Widget Well-Known Member Licensed User Longtime User Sep 5, 2017 #4 The A8 looks good for a DIY build. By building it yourself, it would be easier to repair. A8: Comparison of several 3D printers: CR-10:

It's very easy to assemble but due to some design flaws (well documented on youtube) it need some tinkering. The printing quality after solving this flaws it's great!

JakeBullet70 Well-Known Member Licensed User Longtime User Sep 21, 2017 #7 I had a $200 budget including shipping. I spent $201 including shipping insurance. Something I wanted as I am in Ukraine. At first I was going to get the Anet A8 or the A6 but kept seeing issue with their power supplies when printing ABS that started fires. One of the reviews on YouTube, a guy had added a smoke detector as he had had a fire. But the fix for that was an upgraded power supply. Anyway, All these sub $200 DYI printers have to be tweaked in one way or another. This should be an adventure! 7 to 14 days shipping and as I understand 6 to 10 hours to assemble, then you print out your upgrades. What a hobby! LOL

I inakigarm Well-Known Member Licensed User Longtime User Sep 21, 2017 #8 Yes, for example a must is connect a mosfet to drive power to the heatbed and install octoprint on a rpi (with camera like this) to control printing process

JakeBullet70 Well-Known Member Licensed User Longtime User Sep 21, 2017 #10 I saw this for the model I ordered, it has room for the Ras Pi. https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:1760296

Descartex Well-Known Member Licensed User Longtime User Sep 21, 2017 #13 Its a Orange Pi... 8$ on Aliexpress last summer, it was on a box useless until the printer arrived home... Also the webcam and the chinese usb hub.

JakeBullet70 Well-Known Member Licensed User Longtime User Sep 21, 2017 #14 A Orange Pi for $8, My $35 Ras Pi seems like overkill now.
Descartex Well-Known Member Licensed User Longtime User Sep 21, 2017 #15 I've also a raspi, but last summer i was searching for something cheap to begin on domotic with b4j. Now i've completed a couple of domotic homes with them and go over raspi
