3d Printers South Africa

[xrapidx]

I did the same but through Buildvolume. Will hopefully come this week but has been a rough experience thus far.

We need more Bambu lab suppliers in SA to event out the competition.

I ordered through Ec3d - they were responsive to emails - and it's on the way already, I'm assuming it'll be here tomorrow or Thursday. (They were also the cheapest - R24,000 for the combo)

I was going to go with either buildvolumne or geewiz when they had stock.

Wow my Snapmaker U1 just in time for Christmas

48h+? Why that long? It does not seem that big and even with multi color it seems very slow.

Each colour change ( sometimes 4 per layer) takes anywhere between a minute and 90 seconds.

That same parrot in one colour wouldn’t take more than about 45 minutes to print in a single colour

What was the total cost? It was one I was considering.

Same on a few local sites:

Creality Ender PLA 2KG Value Pack (B&W) 2KG

Uncompromising quality Striking black and white finish Easy to use Wide compatibility Affordable and cost effective Neat winding less tangle Biological material environment

Might be legit unless these places all sourced from the same knockoff supplier.

Thanks. I guess it's just a typical Chinese typo...

They are known for typos so you should be fine. They signed some of their letters with best Redards.

Another reason to have an AMS. No need to worry about a spool running out while printing. Just have the same color/type in the ams on another spool and it switches automatically to the new roll. I would not want a printer without it.

Haha I suppose that's better than "Kind Retards"

Anyone familiar with www.ec3d.co.za? I see they have the p2s in stock

Can definitely recommend them now -responsive to emails, ordered on Monday, delivered today.

Should be a big upgrade form the Ender.

Try ludicrous mode

Try ludicrous mode

I'm tempted - but all my filament is over 2 years old, slowly tossing it out if its too brittle - but - even the Benchy in under 20min at much better quality is impressive to me

Going to order some new filament and give it a go. Damn kids have had this thing running non-stop since I got it setup.

I'm still wanting to print a TPU dumbbell spacer I couldn't get done on the Ender - kept getting stuck in the extruder - I want to see how this handles it - also nice you can have five filaments at a time.

(and just discovered the thing as a poop shoot at the back that goes straight to the floor - I was trying to figure out where the filament goes when it cleans the nozzle... guess that'll be my first upgrade to print)
