I bought the cheapest 3D printer on AliExpress

How much 3D printer can you get for just 72€?

Klipperize it and give it a 120v heated bed! Canbus and a beacon probe too while you’re at it

[EgorKaskader]

Obligatory, put Klipper on it. And an Orbiter 3.0.

[ferdinandhenkel]

This needs moons motors. Their pancake N14 can take up to 1 amp I think. Absolutely ridiculous to think about what those could do to this little bed

I got my ender 3 pro for 97 euro. I am a bit surprised it doesnt get cheaper than 70

[Floodbait_]

Replace the rails with carbon rails like the x1c lol that will probably cost more than the entire printer

[JR-jece]

I bought my son one of these when he asked me about getting into 3d printing that way he could practice for abit before I let him use my machines.

Start by fixing that back-lash, and right after that, get a better extruder/nozzle.

[frankjohnson]

I got a returned KP3S for $75 and its been phenomenal

[kaiserkrake]

I got a refurbished Anycubic Kobra 2 pro for just 90€ with Support and warranty and every thing. So just a cheap and great working Printer.

[tetsuoswrath]

If you upgrade it, I’d like to see it extended somehow for larger print volume and getting the jitters out of it.

[OwenRothwell-mk]

add an all-metal hotend! and a heated bed/hardened nozzle so it can print crazy materials like carbon fiber stuff.

[YourLordMobius]

You wanna put wildly crazy mods on to it? Bmg x-2 with a chimera.

[TheNuclearAtomizer]

$160 for a dial and a button. I feel ripped off by my own printer.

[eatsomedust]

start with end stops if you fail to install those you know how difficult the other mods will be

[robinhooper]

I'm interested in buying a 3D printer, on the cheap. When you say that this 3D printer is not compatible with other firmware. Does that mean I am not able to design my own design and have it print? I only want to print one thing repeatedly.

[GodOfChaos_HeXa]

imo this is a great thing if you arent sure if you want to get into 3d printing, its cheap, if you like it use it untill it breaks or stops meeting your requirements or just throw it away instantly and buy a new better printer from prusia, bambulab or other reputable brands, and if you dont like it you didnt waste a lot of money

[sotErik]

Keep the under powered steppers & make the head & bed as lite as possible.
Obviously Klipper & canbus

[thomasschulz]

Servo motors! (No Stepper closed loop) Servos!

[nope-xy]

you should use the parts to make a mini prusa

[ThatJay]

it being unsupported doesnt mean you can't still build firmware for it
