3D printer @ Aldi

Post by Woz »

Aldi are selling this as an entry level machine-

Doesn't look too bad. The hot end goes up to 260° which means it can print nylon.

I think most of us have at least one of them. If you can run the extra 30 quid over the CR-10 then go for it :thumbup:

Thanks, was just curious as it didn't seem too much more expensive and thought it was one of the proven recommended makes?

There used to be quite a price difference between the CR-10 and CR-10S, but they seem to have converged.
