As the title says: I was thinking about getting into 3d printing for a long time now. The main thing I can think of when it comes to reasons for printing is keyboard building. Do you folks have any recommendations for a good entry-level printer that is able to print for example a Charybdis? Luckily I really like split keyboard which should reduce the needed print area.
Agree with the others on the SV06. I have the plus model * only* because i want to do larger prints. But the base model is great and is a clone of the Prusa Mk3s. Sure it cuts a few corners but it does it where it makes sense and the base machine is fantastic. In regards to the Enders, in my experience of seeing others with them (not owning one) they are by far a tinkerers machine where you get a base printer but practically requires upgrades to get where you want it.
Where as the Sovol machine was pretty much there from stock. it has worked great for me for PLA, and with some simple tuning, PETG which is much more heat resistant. It is considered one of the best prusa clonse and am incredibly happy with my purchase.
context, this is only my 2nd printer and my first one had lots of issues. and this one has been relatively smooth sailing. Maybe not to the level of a real prusa (but the price) or an X1/P1P Carbon machine or similar. But it’s pretty damn good.
If you have the money, you cant go wrong with any prusa. though these days all of the innovations they did are available on lower end machines (Sovole for example), not many printers a quite literally setup and forget. this is why so many print farms exclusively use Prusa machines. You might pay a bit more, but you get a solid machine. though i would say please get the kit and build it. if you are new you will learn a lot from doing so i promise.
