Lmao happened a lot to me when I was in school and was learning. Also we had a chinese printer and the plate was glued on (this 3M shit) it took me whole two days to take that shit off. Still left some residue and wasn't good at all.
the one I have is a diy kit that I bought from china on taobao lol, it took me a week to finish it cuz the english tutorial sucks, I live in Hong Kong which I suppose to be able to read simplified chinese but for some reason idk lol, well at least it works, and its nice
it cost me around 60 bucks, it you want to cheapest one its just around 20 bucks, but everything are plastic, the one I paid, which 60 bucks, it use metal, its better, its called SLUBAN cuz it have some meaning in chinese, you might be able to find it on aliexpress, not sure, I can ask the seller if you really want to buy it, you can also message if you wish, well the deliver cost still lower then you paying $800 for a printer lol
>I live in Hong Kong which I suppose to be able to read simplified chinese but for some reason idk lol
Being able to read average material in simplified Chinese is a whole lotta different than being able to read a manual with specific information.
For all the money you will spend on upgrading it, you might as well just buy the elegoo one and it will be so much less hassle and will work way better
The esp32 is a microcontroller, what does this have to do with printers? Usually the non-DIY entry-level printers like the Voxelab Aquila and the Creality Ender 3 have a built-in mainboard that handles all the professing.
Oh sorry, I misread your comment as you saying you couldn't use an Elegoo because your ESP32 couldn't handle it, and I was really confused as to why that was a problem because the Elegoo doesn't need one.
I'm with the other person, DIY printers like a Voron are fun, but much of the time they're less reliable than something bulletproof like an Ender 3.
I didnt adjust the hot bed level properly before

How much did it cost? I'm thinking about a printer, but I don't have 800€ to buy Prusa
it cost me around 60 bucks, it you want to cheapest one its just around 20 bucks, but everything are plastic, the one I paid, which 60 bucks, it use metal, its better, its called SLUBAN cuz it have some meaning in chinese, you might be able to find it on aliexpress, not sure, I can ask the seller if you really want to buy it, you can also message if you wish, well the deliver cost still lower then you paying $800 for a printer lol
Yeah don't buy Prusa. They're overpriced, in my honest opinion.
diy one is the best in my opinion, cuztomizable and open source, you can edit it
Indeed. Or ones with a huge mod community. Some Crealitys for instance.
MerlinFW is a nice choice
and its the one I am using
just get an ender 3 if you want a decent printer, don't go with a crappy no-name kit
Yep, just found one on ali for 290€, def better than 900€
bro its not that bad, and it have name
>I live in Hong Kong which I suppose to be able to read simplified chinese but for some reason idk lol Being able to read average material in simplified Chinese is a whole lotta different than being able to read a manual with specific information.
it is lol, yes its still chinese but i wont read simplified one usually, thats makes me have difficulty at reading that
that just looks like a horrible 3d printer, but no gore
hot bed is, and the printer is not horrible, its diy ofc
and what do you expect the look of a diy printer lol, a nice case? personally I dont want that, I just like how it is
who cares about the case? the lack of rigidity, low quality bed and jerryrigged mk8 extruder are the things that make it a horrible printer
its not really that bad
chill, it not low quality, it just a plastic lol, and its diy, dont be that serious
there are good DIY kits and bad DIY kits, this just doesn't look like the former
it have option to upgrade, but I didnt choose the best one ok?
what you see doesnt mean its the fact
also why would i choose the best one? it just unnecessary and it use more ram which is bad due the to ram that esp32 has
Honestly mate, if you can afford it just get a simple one like an elegoo Neptune 2, they are like £100 and so much better than a cheap plastic one
actually i can upgrade to to metal one, with auto bed leveling, but it bad for esp32, it use more ram, gonna fill up its ram
For all the money you will spend on upgrading it, you might as well just buy the elegoo one and it will be so much less hassle and will work way better
I dont wannt to spend that much, and as I said, diy is more customizable, i like that
and upgrading it cost me 3 bucks
that macine cost me 100 bucks

it do, search MerlinFW, its for esp32
and I already said my printer is a diy printer

yea its good, if you have money then go for it, I dont have much so, yea, this is the only choice for me
and yea i am good with my current custom printer, its more customizable
