Toying with the idea of buying my first 3D printer
Re: Toying with the idea of buying my first 3D printer
I would skip the X1C at this point and go with an H2S or H2D. They are bigger, newer, and more versatile as they can also be used as a cutter and a laser cutter.

Re: Toying with the idea of buying my first 3D printer
Ive had my bambu labs ps1 for about 2 weeks. All I can say is stop thinking about it and get one!!!!
The bambu labs software is pretty simple use. Like anything there is gonna be some difficulties but you just have to play with it.
I dont even know what im doing and managed a few nice prints so far!!
Ive printed out turret protection ring some tools MG stand for tiger 1. MG stand for the the late production Jagdtiger. Oh and a FERDINAND TANK DESTROYER
I think its a great investment for the rc modeling hobby. Now its not "tamiya quality" stuff that comes out but I think with some patience and putty and body work you could make these look as good as you want.
One thing I didn't think about was some of the printing bed i had to cut the elefant sides to print it. I was about 1/4" to short from printing the entire side in 1 shot.
Ive also had a few guys off face book help me out when I had questions which helped out alot!!!

Ok, so who is the self-deprecating "miwavcom" that chef keeps quoting. Not in this thread and no profile?
