Hello everyone! I am a final year product design student and I got into 3d ceramic printing through our university’s facilities. I have had a fair amount of experience with a WASP 2040 and I wanted to get my own 3D clay printer.
That said, I do not have the budget for a WASP printer and I started researching what the alternatives are. I did see the Tronxy Moore 1 which is ok for beginners but it is currently out of stock for delivery to the UK. From my understanding it is better for long term to convert a traditional 3d printer by getting the needed parts but I feel a bit hesitant. Is a link similar to this trustworthy: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005006212670280.html ? (or similar packages for even cheaper at alibaba) I don’t have a an FDM printer either I would probably buy a second hand one from eBay, but what combination of printer and parts-wise would be most beginner friendly? Any suggestions would be highly appreciated!
Also, has anyone created a 3d printing setup using Jonathan Keep‘s guide? https://wikifactory.com/@jonathankeep/self-build-clay-printer I do have access to laser cutting etc. through uni so I was wondering if anyone had actually built one of these!
Thank you!
