Re: Acquiring a 3D Printer?
So there are good printers out there less than $400.
Monoprice has there MakerSelect printer (it is a rebranded Wanhao I3) that I can recommend.
When choosing a printer avoid:
1. Proprietary filament cartridges
2. Proprietary and closed source software/hardware
Get a printer with:
1. Heated bed
2. All metal hot end if you want to do plastics like Nylon
3. Enclosed build space is nice
4. Wide parts availability
Also, there are some really good kits out there that your students can build as a learning project.
