  1. I think I may have found a machine that may suit. I have been looking at the KYWOO Printers. They seem to be getting good general reviews. Also they sport a direct drive system so I would prefer that too. They look well built and from reports I have read users seem very happy with the resulting Prints. has anyone here tried one yet?
  2. Thanks Greg. Ill take all your info into consideration and eventually i will pick a printer. Might try to scrape up a few more Dollars if One is better than others but not a lot dearer. If I can stretch to it I am thinking Direct Drive. They seem to be more reliable by most accounts....Regards to you and Have a happy New year. Ronnie.
  3. Hi. Greg. Thanks for the quick reply. Since my last post I've had a thought. The lifeboats may actually be easier to print in two vertical parts. ie. cut a boat through the middle so you have back half and front half) and join them together. I'm thinking then the printer could be a smaller model and maybe still spending my $500 might get me a better quality machine. What do you think??? regards...Ronnie.
  4. Hi. Looking to buy a large capacity lower priced Printer. Currently have a ANET kit printer that has a poor extruder and hot end. Nothing but trouble.(am waiting for better parts to fix this). I am looking at a couple of possible printers that sound ok on the surface..Some positive reviews... Models are JG Aurora......Anycubic Mega x...and Tronxy x5saPro. The problem is the horror stories on user forums re. problems with all of them. Is there actually a model that is really reliable in these price ranges????? I have hundreds of components to make to complete my 30 foot model of the Titanic Steamship and I need a machine thats not going to crash not long after I purchase it. The largest component I'm hoping to make are the Lifeboats which are approx 12 inches long. I'm assuming these would need to be printed standing vetically (basically a blown out U shape). So I would need a height capacity to suit. But even then I have read reports that some of these machines can't handle tall structures so another confusing issue for me. Any help in choosing the right machine would be appreciated. My budget is around $500 Australian. All other components could be handled by a smaller build size so maybe the lifeboats could be built in two halves and joined together. Don't know if this would work but if it did maybe there is a reliable machine that would be a better choice for similar money..ie Better quality smaller machine with less problems. Thank you in advance and Merry Xmas to all...Regards...Ronnie.
