Been debating over getting a 3D printer for some time.  Did some research and look at some of the upcoming ones.

 

Welp, I put down an order for a Prusa Mini as it seems the printer has solid build quality and a good size community around that companies' printers.  Now to wait for when those printers are release and shipped.

 

In mean time, got to setup a spot for the printer and get a Raspberry 3 Pi B+ so I can run octoprint, and I need to research some more on setup of a good enclosure, along with hardware to monitor the printer.

    Depends where you are at.

     

    Since I'm in the US, I didn't have to pay VAT, but the shipping was higher.  About 48-50 bucks on that.  The printer itself, stock kit is $349 USD.  I bought it with the both beds and a 1KG roll of filament, so I paid a tad more for it.

    that is more money than I can pay.

    If you looking for a more affordable FDM 3D Printer.  Look at the Anycubic Mega or Ender 3.  Note, those don't have auto bed leveling, but a BLTouch can be put onto them to do that.

     

    Those two tend to go on sale throughout the year. 

     

    Just note, if going Ender 3, those tend to require a bit of tinkering to dail in good and most advise to later on upgrade parts on them to improve print quality.
