Aldi Australia are selling a steel-framed 3D printer for $499 next Wednesday!

Apparently it’s a Prusa i3 variant, according to @Mr_covert .

Build volume: 200 x 200 x 180mm
LCD controller, heated bed, USB and SD card supported, comes with CURA.

seems to be a rebranded Wanhao Duplicator i3

@Hakan_Evirgen I agree, it looks exactly like the Wanhao Duplicator i3, just with a different badge on the top. Thanks for pointing that out.

The Wanhao Duplicator i3 reviews pretty well too:

Definitely seems worth the price tag.

I wonder how many each store is going to have?

@Tony_Castley our local Aldi has 10-15, so I will need to get there when they open tomorrow.

Actually they only had 5!

I was among the first in the door at 8:30 and got one for myself, but the remainder were bought in minutes.

Maybe Aldi have seriously underestimated demand for these 3D printers.
