Hi all,
I'm considering getting me a 3D printer (for the first time;) ) and my eye fell on the m2. But I'm not really sure yet.
I have been following the progress of this field from a distance for around 15 years now and in a way I can't wait to really dig into it personally to get my hands dirty ;-)
It would be used for some prototyping, shape/ergonomic/concept studies, more art related objects and experiments, etc.
I have made my first concept design recently, and I caught the 3D printing bug in a way :-)
But,
first of all the diy part. Soon after digging into the subject for a bit I realized that it isn't what you call super user friendly yet. It's not (yet?) like using a senseo sorta speak.
I don't know if it's a bad or a good thing really, I'm in a way intrigued and fascinated by this factor and a bit scared off at the same time (if you know what I mean).
For instance yesterday I concluded to buy it, but this morning I noticed for instance a very complicated video on how to remove a nozzle + other technical issues and this scared me in a way.
community wise I noticed a post about the drop of input (since the forum has changed?). Is this true? This concerns me in a way that I will probably need some assistance and a huge part why I would choose this printer is the community behind it.
price wise, it's still not what you can call cheap either. There is the initial printer costs, and I'm looking at filament prices, energy costs, maintanance, ...
Is it possible to receive some input on these, and possibly other matters to give me more insight towards making up my mind?
Thanks a lot in advance.
