I use almost nothing but mirror tiles and 50/50 elmers glue and water. Works for abs, PLA, PC, nylon and small PETG parts.
Never had a 12x12 mirror tiles crack on me under temp
I use mirror tiles with a PEI sheet adhered to the surface and will never go back. I HATED painters tape and that whole process. I love prusaās powder coated spring steel too.

That sounds nicer. How often do you have to change the pei sheet out of curiosity?
Iāve used a mirror bed, glass bed, and the special glass bed with the bumpy stuff on it. I eventually just went back to the stock buildtak stuff. Bottom line: it just works. And itās easy to get prints off of.

Iāve never changed the one on my mirror tile, and it still looks great. They are pretty thick(about a mm).
PETG sticks to it so hard that you almost have to be careful.

If you pair this deal with an EZABL youād have a dope printer for under $200 that would put out some pretty good quality prints.
I believe it! I have considered getting another printer, but after printing the hub/pulleys that Iāve used on the budget board - I havenāt really touched it sinceā¦ Honestly I should start printing my NESE cells and start dry fitting the DWII but I just cant be bothered atm

At those prices, itās so hard to resist, even when I donāt really need a 3d printer lol.
Would the hotend work out of the box for nylon/TPU? Anything else needed besides the glass bed?

I want too get a 3d printer but gonna have to wait awhile. Hopefully the promos donāt get removed.
Would this be a good choice for a complete noob to 3D printing and is it pretty easy to set up and use? Iāve been wanting to get a 3D printer for a while and introduce my kids to this amazing technology, but I donāt want to be constantly fiddling with it to get decent prints. This seems like a great deal.

Iāve only touched a couple 3d printers in real life. So I hope soā¦

For all those with Ender 3, I have to recommend the BLV MGN Ender pro mod. It was just released by a guy named Ben Levi who has created several full printer kits and released then open source. My printer is roughly based on his mgn prusa setup and it does great work
Hereās the newly released Ender 3 pro BLV mod

By far one of the best upgrades I did to my Ender 3 is the SKR Mini E3 control board. Loudest thing on it was the power supply fan after I installed it and it was smooth as butter. Over time mod though, itās not a āneedā per say. First on the agenda is glass bed, bed springs, and part cooling fan. Then I would say Capricorn tubing and new pnuematic push fittings. Maybe a BMG or clone extruder, E3D V6 hotend, etc. All about personal needs and where I was printing TPU, PETG, and Nylon with mine mostly I need some above average gear.

Iāve never even touched one, but down the rabbit hole we go. I just bought one too. Time to start scouring the forum and internet for info and tips. So excited and a little scared (mostly financially, lol).
Thanks and damn you @bwahl602 for this.

I luckily will use @DerelictRobot as my trainer, teacher, lover on this oneā¦ Itās basically his fault anyways.

IDK much about 3D printers really, but I supported this KS last year.
Did the pledge with wood CNC module, 2500mW Laser, 0.15mm & 0.4mm FDM modules.
Canāt wait for it to get here, slated for delivery 2nd quarter next year (after adjusted timelines due to suppliers).
