Tevo Tarantula or Prusa i3 MK2, which one would you buy?
Tevo
Prusa i3 MK2, assuming you’re buying it from Josef Prusa himself.
Prusa
I3 MK2 for sure
I’d go with the Mk2. The mesh bed leveling, live Z adjustment, and automatic XY skew adjustment on the Mk2 makes all the difference. Although you can buy about 3 of the Tarantulas for the price of the Mk2.
Original Prusa i3 MK2S for sure.
#OpenSource directly from the developer.
thank you very much for your comments
No, I would gladly buy a 3D printer in the near future and these two I found interesting.
ok thank you @Lukas_Mathis
Especially if you have no prior experience with 3D printers or CNC systems: you want the Prusa i3.
The Tevo Tarantula is a working printer that can be made to print well… You just need to know what you’re doing to make it do that. If you go into it blind, not having had experience troubleshooting printers and not really knowing what proper operation is like, you’re just going to have a miserable time and everything will take way longer than it should. If you stick with it you’ll learn plenty, but you can do the same thing starting with a printer that works well and has good support AND with a printer like that you can also print while you’re learning.
Original Prusa I3 mk2…
Seems like this should have been a poll…
He asked. If I’d started with the MK2, I would have been much happier learning the rest…
@Lukas_Mathis where did you found Yugo lol
MK2S don’t even need to think about that one. Trust me this will be like the best decision of your life.
Actually I think the right answer would be both.
