Hello to everyone!
I would like to ask you if anyone knows a good 3D printer with those specs:
Fully enclosed (it’ll be used in an special education school)
Max of money: 500 €
I know that for this price a fully enclosed 3D printer will be difficult to find
Anyone knows some models that match this specs?
Have a nice day!
I haven’t looked for a fully enclosed one but many have a frame that covers most of it. You could then fill the holes with something like plexiglass. That would be pretty easy.
@Kevin_Danger_Powers Indeed, it seems the best idea. Look at this project with an Ikea lack table https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2121640 Simple and useful 
the price is DO’able, eBay carries many in this price range, but the learning curve is pretty extreme for first time users.
@Chris_Bigpaws_Chambe well, that depends on how technical the first time user is. If you understand what a 3d printer does (not that hard) and which settings influence which properties of your print (can be a bit harder), it isn’t really hard.
It can take more time to get a cheap printer to print the way you want it, but in my opinion you learn a lot more about 3d printers if you but a cheap one that gets good reviews and take some time to tinker with it.
A simple kit with a nice diy enclosure shouldn’t set you back more than 250 Euro and a few days of your time before you’re getting really nice results.
When I got mine, the build took me 8 hours and getting the first good prints took me about 8 more. The ones before that were just acceptable 
The post from yesterday is a good reminder. I’d suggest 3D Maker Noob’s channel. He does a lot a lot of printer reviews and lately has done a few that are designed for children/students which would work well in a classroom. He usually has links to US and EU pricing in the descriptions of each video.
@Bart_Crijns I am a printer builder, I am more than a little aware of whats involved :O) 30 and counting!
I build many Prusa & Mendel Hybrids :O)
@Chris_Bigpaws_Chambe I certainly don’t underestimate your knowledge of 3D printers (impressive number of builds), but calling the learning curve extreme is a bit… well… extreme 
After all, you’re just assembling a kit, and you have to follow the instructions while using your common sense. An understanding of electricity/electronics, together with the aforementioned common sense and an investment of time is all you need. There is a learning curve, but since it’ll be used in a school, I guess the learning curve is part of the fun and tinkering with the settings just adds to the learning experience.
I bought my first 3D printer as a kit, after reading a bit about it on the internet. I’ve had some fun assembling it, which also helped me understand better how it works and what could go wrong (and what to do about it). The first results were mixed, but I quickly started to get decent results, modified the printer a bit and got better results. All in all, my experience was pretty good.
So, for people who live tinkering, have some common sense, an understanding of electronics and don’t mind investing a few days of your time… If you want to learn more, get a kit.
If the above didn’t apply to you, or you want good results from the start, pay a bit more and get a higher end device.
@Bart_Crijns I don’t Buy “Kits”, that’s an incorrect assumption. :O)
In fact many of the machines are custom builds. hand selected parts,
and only 3 have ever been what I would call “typical builds” and those were Prusa model I3. and even those were printed at home & not purchased kits.
Gold real Gold
Remember “self replication” is the name of the game!
Stay in touch I’ll see Uvic guy later
Gold I should copy rote
GPU guys are on the right track .I’ll wait
And http://see.think if you could make one cheep . use a block of foam and use a air neg to cut http://it.cheep way to go to make a plug no?
