Should I make one?

[Guest]

I was thinking of following this guide here

but is it worth it? I could probably do it for around <30 dollars... I could also make a guide on here

Well in a few months my dad wants to buy me one... probably by November/December. But for around 25 its a good thing to start with. Nothing major for now (obviously with that size tho lol)

Cool stuff no doubt. I'd love to get one that can print with ABS, so I could make myself custom Legos. And use other plastics to make parts for my (taking forever because I never work on it) Mando costume. For those that don't know, a Mando is what Jango Fett is (was, Lucas changed that now).

Whats the difference between abs and pla?

ABS is what Legos are made from, it's super strong and tough, but gets brittle fast when exposed to sun. IDK about PLA, but I think it's softer.
