I’ve been gathering components to build a printer and now I can’t figure out which one. Lately I’ve been enamored with the H-bot/CoreXY style whereas before I was thinking of doing a Prusa. I was going to place an order earlier for the E3D head but then stopped when faced with the selection of direct drive vs. Bowden. I think I’ve spent way more time reading up on the various printers that I could’ve probably built a model of each by now.
Anyone have personal experience on which way to go for at least a 12^3 build area with decent speed?
Often, it’s best to just pick a direction and go. Short of starting with a delta and regretting it, a lot of printers can be re-purposed or improved if you learn something new along the way.
@Jos_Scheepers Tim has been clear he’s looking to build a 3D printer from components he’s gathered and you link to your store selling complete kits & assembled printers. AFAIK your printer is closed-source and there are no plans available to self-build your printers. So please tell me, how is your post helpful here and why shouldn’t it be considered for what it is: spam?
The Service tab links to a wiki showing build instructions. No plans (or 3D models such as STLs) are to be found for any Cartesio-specific parts. And your website does not mention the words “open source” anywhere as far as I’ve been able to find. These build instructions seem insufficient for anyone who would want to build a Cartesio from scratch without purchasing your kit. This can hardly be referred to as open source.
