3D Printer Recommendation

[MadReefer]

I'm looking tobget a 3D printer. Amazon has 3 different Flashforge ones for $300. Any suggestions what to look for not sure of differences.

Look at the Bambu printers. Simple to use, easy to maintain, 3-4x faster than any other printer out there. The P1P is standard, and they just introduced a Mini. Game changer for me in 3d printing.

I have only used the Creality Ender 3. Very frustrating to tune. With 3d printer the key is to get the bed to level and even temperature.

The Flash Forge I was looking at has auto leveling and can adjust temp up 200c.

I have Prusa and Bambi. I’ve played with ender and Creality. Stay away !!!!!

You will spend more time tuning and cursing then printing.

If you plan on printing more than 5 colors. Go Bambu

If you want to be able to print everything !!!! Go Prusa

Edwin, that was a question i could not find answer to. I assume one nozzle so I would need to constantly switch nozzles with different colors?

here is the AMZ link - FlashForge 3D Printer

You never have to change nozzles unless you are printing abrasive material. So the brass nozzle will do. In this setup you sent. The print will stop and prompt you for a color change you will have to unload and mind the printer forever. The other setups are set it load the filament between 4-5 rolls of different colors and print and come to a finished project

Prusa ( need to buy the printer too MK4s)

Original Prusa MMU3 upgrade kit (for MK4)

What is Multi Material Upgrade? It’s exactly what it sounds like - it’s an optional add-on that allows your single-extruder printer to print with up to 5 colors (materials) at the same time. The MMU3 contains five filament insertion points. Load up to five colors of your choice, slice the object...

Price wise and entry level start with a mid version of Bambu and then when your ready upgrade to Prusa. That would be the recommended path
