I could not get the powder coated PEI sheet for the bed but the smooth one works brilliantly, just have to watch as the magnets are so strong I've pinched my fingers a few times! I have to say I'm more than pleased with the Prusa, the construction was easy and it worked straight away.
I would have liked a printer with a rising Z-axis but couldn't see anything in my budget that would fit the bill. I got fed up wanting to print something quickly and ended up spending all morning fiddling again and the print never got done.Īfter looking around I plumped for the Original Prusa because of the ongoing support and user base. My Ormerod 2 is now on top of the bookcase having been replaced by a Prusa i3 Mk3 a couple of weeks ago. The ormerod will still be used, but only for specific things I know work easily on it (for example I have a bridging problem I have simply not been able to solve) We all learned a lot through fiddling, and this group was always incredible.
That being said, I'm still glad I got into printing when I did. Now I'm laughing at them! I think if they had to assemble an Ormerod they'd kill themselves! But also no printed parts to fiddle with before they fit etc.īefore I bought I read a lot of reviews and people were complaining about various aspects of the Ender, difficulty leveling, etc.
#CETUS3D DELTA MANUAL#
Nothing fancy - manual bed leveling, no web interface etc etc. The Ender 3 took me an hour and a half to assemble out of the box. It was something I thought about for a while, but then I recently had to replace virtually all the printed parts on my ormerod, which were delaminating, and I decided that my hobby is not 3D printing and messing with my printer - the printer is a tool to use to further my other interests. I am a member of several Facebook 3D printing groups focused on my hobbies (mostly Wargaming and RPG's) and the prints coming out of this $200 printer are really good for the price. So I closed my eyes and bought a Creality Ender 3.
I looked at the Prusa for a long time, but I just can't justify the price. I'm now giving my better Ormerod 2 one last chance to come up to scratch. I've even considered selling both of my Ormerods (or even just discarding them) and buying the Mk3! A friend bought a Prusa i3 Mk3 a couple of months ago and I must say I've been damn impressed with it so far.
