  • Like others have said, it’s definitely not “too good to be true” territory, but there’s so many things that can be wrong or not right with it that you’re much better off getting a new printer. Sure you might save $100 getting a used one but the chances of you spending weeks chasing a problem that you admittedly have no knowledge of diagnosing is just way too high for it to be worth it. For someone with a bunch of knowledge and experience this would be a decent deal, but so is a car with a check engine light or salvage title… could be (probably are) opening yourself up to way more headache than the money’s worth.











  • I’ll offer a counterpoint. If this is your first printer, don’t build it from a kit. Most printers will require some assembly, and that’s totally fine, but if you have no experience with 3d printers (and likely anything similar in size or technical requirements), it’s going to be way too easy to make some small mistake that results in days of diagnosing where you went wrong.

    My advice would be to find a decent mid-range printer, and if you really wanna dive deep in to the hobby, build or buy a big fancy second one later. I’m still rocking my $150 Neptune 3 from like 3 years ago, I’ve thought about upgrading but haven’t really needed to.
