Just spotted this, for anyone wanting to get started this looks like the a gem of a printer

Smaller than the rigs some of us use, but should be a great starter for someone just beginning, and much more affordable. If I had the space I might be tempted to get one to cut down my print backlog!

Re: New small cheap 3d Creality
How stable a base would this need? Ie if put on a table would the floor flexing cause a problem?

Re: New small cheap 3d Creality
Hi Rob, the more stable the base the better, but if the table is not wobbly then it shouldn't be an issue. I have put foam pads under the corners of my printer to reduce noise (which works amazingly well) and I don't have a problem at all. The Creality printers are incredibly solidly constructed and are much less susceptible to vibration than the early reprap prusa printers.

Re: New small cheap 3d Creality
I use mine on a cheap Ikea table top with screw in legs, it prints just fine. The only thing that affects printing is the print head relative to the bed, and that can't move as the printer is bolted together. I've picked mine up, shoved it around etc while printing and it doesn't change anything. Someone even turned theirs upside down and it carried on regardless.
There are a couple of small printers that produce excellent results.

Bloody hell that's got a bigger build area then mine which cost £800 four years ago.

Re: New small cheap 3d Creality
Defo think i am going for the Ender after the research i done and talking to people.
Means i can get a real taste for 3D printing and maybe setup a space for it in my house to help with the models. I was resistant at first, but you Alwyn, Wayne(midlife) & Gary(max-u52) have opened my eyes to this cool world.
My wife has even told me to get on and buy one so she can use it to make stuff aswell! There's support if ever i heard any. Although worried she probably want to use it more than me!!!! haha
