solidoodle

#Solidoodle2 (heavily modified)

Basically a pile of junk for experimenting

Build Size (XYZ): 150mm x 150mm x 120mm

Minimum Layer height: 0,1mm

Pros

• material is very cheap (1kg = 25 €)
• commonly uses PLA, an organic thermoplastic usually made from corn starch.
• most materials are not toxic, some are even food-proof.
• reads and prints any geometry, no matter how crappy it was built up.
• accepts STL, OBJ, DAE, AMF formats
• feel free to modify the printer to fit your special needs. (and write a documentation about it in our wiki)
• you don't need to worry about screwing up a costly high-tech machine.

Contras

• slow printing with small layers is necessary for highest precision
• not as accurate as Ultimaker2
• support material needs to be broken off the part after printing
• it's open source, so you shouldn't blame someone else for your results
