Hi Guys, sorry if this is not the right place, but I felt it better to add to this than start a new thread !
I have seen that you now can get Prusa i3 kit replicas for £115.
This started me wondering ... but that may be as far as it goes
Would these be any good or is the low cost indicative of a poor quality product ?
How long does it take to print a chassis with such a machine ?
I am unsure if I could get my head around the 3D cad side off things, I used to do some basic 3D cad work for wood working CNC machines many many moons ago, but I feel I have forgotten most of it and may struggle to relearn it let alone with different software !
How much would suitable CAD software be ?
I am still thinking I am better off paying others to do things for me, but sometimes you just want something that is not worth anyone else's time or effort !
Realistically, how steep is the learning curve for someone who would basically be learning from scratch ?
