Gone are the days when you can say you aren’t making the plunge to buy a 3D printer yet because you are waiting for costs to come down. While you do have to pick and choose and often wait for sales, it’s worth keeping an eye on your favorite manufacturers to see when they might be offering you a good deal. Some friends of mine have a young son who is dying to get a 3D printer after learning about the technology at school and beyond. They’ve been grimacing over the prices presented to them thus far and I suggested that they get a kit. It’s much more educational, and it’s something the whole family can work on together, as well as then picking out designs and products and 3D printing. I was stumped in the moment though when we spoke last, hoping to find them the proper kit at a price that would knock their socks off.
Well, now the moment has come (and I will be sending this information directly over to my friends), as we give credit to FLSUN 3D and their current sale, with discounts increased if you buy in volume. For the next four days, with limited supplies left, you can look forward to purchasing the 3D Metal Frame Prusa i3 DIY KIT for only $219, or the 3D Metal Frame Kossel Delta DIY KIT with Auto Leveling for $220.
The Metal Frame Prusa i3 DIY KIT seems to be producing some very high-quality prints, thanks to the stable metal structure which allows for superior accuracy. Users can look forward to the opportunity for unlimited creative design coupled with high precision.
The printer controller has an integrated motherboard with easy connecting, and user-friendliness all around with easy adjustments and controls. The maximum nozzle temperature is 260°C, and the maximum heatbed temperature is 100°C.
The Prusa i3 kit prints in a range of filaments to include:
- PLA
- ABS
- PETG
- Wood
- PVA
- Flexible Filaments
Comments from customers so far seem to be very positive, including the most recent:
“My colleagues suggested Maxbot, Geeetech, Flsun, and much more to me. I finally ended up with my decision and bought this Flsun 3D i3 DIY kit,” said Samantha Spears. “This printer will just next to amaze you with all its functions and compatibility features. The metal frame of this printer makes it firm and therefore improves the accuracy of the prints.”
“It contained two cooling fans that help in cooling down print filaments quickly. Its integrated motherboard connects and operates with DIY projects easily which is an amazing feature to work upon. Printing and précising quality [sic] is out of the box!”
The two cooling fans have just been recently been added to cool both the hotend and the printing filament. An updated SEffector has been added as well.
This kit also comes with the following ‘freebies’:
- 1KG(Roll) Filament (either ABS or PLA)
- MK2A Heatbed
- 8 GB SD Card
- LCD Control Panel
- SD Card Reader
- One Spare Nozzle
- One Roll Masking Tape
For the FLSUN 3D Metal Frame Kossel Delta DIY Kit with Auto Leveling, users can look forward again to the sturdy aluminum frame which offers greater stability and printing accuracy.
The auto leveling option is free, and the two updates of the cooling fans and updated SEffector apply here as well. The maximum nozzle temperature is 260°C; maximum heatbed temperature is 100°C.
Without the hotbed, PLA is the only filament available for use. If you do purchase the hotbed, you can also use:
- Wood
- Nylon
- PVA
- Flexible Filaments
This kit will fit on your desk after easy assembly but features a streamlined design that will look pleasing anywhere. Excellent extruder quality, remarkable build quality, and durable components are all part of this package too—along with a user-friendly design for putting everything together.
There are many, many reviews for this kit and if you are on the fence about purchasing, you should check them out, including the most recent:
“When I came across this printer I was surprised to see its cheap price. I ordered it right away,” said Gary L. Peterson. “It took some time to get this printer delivered but it was all worth the wait. I assembled this printer quickly with the help of clear instructions on the manual and I am very impressed with its metal frame structure.”
“Recommended to everyone especially to those who do not want to spend a lot of time while assembling a 3D printer.”
- 8 GB SD Card
- LCD Control Panel
- SD Card Reader
- 40 m Filaments
- One Spare Nozzle
- One Roll Masking Tape
