In my previous post titled Low End FDM for Miniatures, Hobby Parts, and Messing Around? I received a ton of fantastic recommendations, but ultimately went with the A1 mini due to its price at the time, ease of use, and several other factors. It came in today, and I've already made 10 different prints on it. The Benchy came out wonderfully, and so has everything else so far.
Thank all of you for your help, and I look forward to continuing to be a part of the community.
I went with the A1 mini while it was (actually still is) $200 on their website. That's about as much as we spent on our sewing machine gathering dust, a bit more than our vinyl cutter doing the same, and around the same as I've invested so far in mini painting.
To be fair to me, I have so far kept up with the miniature painting.
That's lower than I expected. When I was last shopping for a new potential printer, bambus were starting at around $400. Good piece of hardware for that price, if you're not crazy into the hobby aspect of printing and just need it to aid your other hobbies. Have fun with it!
