Even Woot thinks we should 3D print

Three different 3D printers for sale at decent prices on Woot.

This isn’t spam, it’s proof that there are printers that are affordable.

I got asked, I have both the SainSmart x Creality Ender-3 PRO 3D Printer and the CNC machine. They are not the best in the world, but gives me a chance to mess around.

I have an ender 3 too, but I might get a better one if it becomes legal in VRC

Has anyone bought Leland’s printer ? (Leland of Green Egg Robotics fame)

I have two of them (well one mine and the other is the clubs)

It is a wicked solid reliable machine.

However, this past weekend I had a print mishap and the printed self-destructed. The PLA ended up oozing through the hot end creating a blob. I sent the picture below (does it count as cursed?) and Leland pretty much said “oh that does look good”). I will be able to salvage most of the parts and rebuild the print head - needed a summer project now that school is out.

and here it is mid-print a month ago:

Hey Karl, I know we’re in a competition right now and we have a match in 10 minutes. I don’t know if it’s possible to have a new bracket printed. Could you print one out real quick?
Karl: Hold my diet coke
Karl: Sets print speed to 500%

5:45 MINUTE 3DBENCHY???

Its not quite that fast but I broke the 30 minute barrier on a Prusa MK2S earlier today, with a .5mm nozzle.

update: 19 minutes is possible.
