I am looking for a 3D printer like the XYZprinting daVinci 1.0 but does take

Looks worth it.

Ok so it is either the http://wanhaousa.com/products/duplicator-i3-steel-frame or https://printm3d.com/#

I don’t know what one to get now if any.

I’d avoid the M3D just because the size is going to limit you to what you can usefully create.

Ok then so the duplicator i3 is it then

@Scott_Wells Thanks for the recommendation!!!

Here’s a recent thread on a guy who got one - it had some shipping issues & the forum members helped him fix it - good info to read through:

Ok

@Scott_Wells This requires some assembly, correct?

No - product page says pre-assembled

Ok @Scott_Wells Are you planning to get this printer?

No - I already have 3 :slight_smile:

@Scott_Wells Have you had any problems with it? And would you recommend it as a first 3d printer?

And what Splicer/other programs do you use with it?

@Koen_Zaiser_Camokoko , I have been looking at 3D Printers for some years now, and having lurked on forums for a reasonable amount of time I have come to the conclusion that the better looking the printer is the more likely it is to disappoint anyone that buys it, the one trick to getting a good printer for the money you spend is to take a lot of time to understand the various aspects that make a good printer and then look for the printer in your price range that gives you the best combination of items that produce a good quality printer, if it is ugly then at least you can print nice covers to hide its ugliness, if its pretty and can’t really print then you’ve got a nice paperweight that just keeps reminding you that you wasted your money, and probably a considerable amount of time trying to get it to work.
Of the two options you suggest above I would go with the i3, it is a common and mostly proven design and so you will find lots of information that will be applicable if you have problems, plus there are videos of it operating on the front page, so they can say see it works.
The other printers web site for me smacks of “marketing slickness” to much for my taste, it says a lot but doesn’t give me the information I would like to see to determine the ability of the printer, that and the unique xyz motion of the printer make me cautious by comparison to the i3, having said that it may well be very good, but I don’t have the information to determine that.
Lastly if print volume is important then the i3 wins in that area.
Try working out what features are important for you and then scoring each candidate printer on those features, that should help you with the decision.

Sorry for the long post!

@Richard_Earl Thank you very much for the tip! (and I don’t mind reading xD)

Here is what I am looking for in a 3D printer:
Something that I can print some descent sized models on
Inexpensive
Efficient
Easy to use(because this will be my first printer)
Can deal with a teenagers Bedroom xD- Durable
Can require some maintenance but not a lot(still am in High School)
Not last but least, Fun to Use!!!

@Koen_Zaiser_Camokoko I’ve bought the HIC Prusa and the results is quite well!

Koen - I do not have the Wanhao printer. I own a Replicator 2 & I have 2 self built corexy printers (one still under construction). From what I’ve read , the i3 is a good stable design & I did consider going that route but chose to go corexy ultimately for my own needs

Koen - I should elaborate - I was looking at Pursa I3’s in general, not the Wanhao specifically (it didn’t exist at that point). I am not advocating for Wanhao, their printer just seemed to meet your needs so that was why I suggested it.
