the listing
I don’t know enough to know what I don’t know, but the price seems pretty low even for a used 3d printer. Do the pictures or description give any indications?
edit: Thanks to everyone for the replies! I woke up and saw a bunch of messages and was like, “oh crap what did i say this time.”
Prevailing opinion seems to be it’s probably a fair price, but my lack of experience makes it a risky choice.
Solid advice above. 3d printing on these things is a huge issue initially. Set up etc is very fiddly. And this is with a new set up with everything documented by the manufacturer. As soon as you start playing with the mess others have made dealing with the same issues. More so after having dismantled and moved a set up to sell.
Really not a fun task for a first timer.
Once you have done it once and understand the issues involved and just how minor errors can mess with plate adhesive and other issues. It would be a fine purchase. But not that cheap. 1/2 price of a newer model seems normal.
But it is also worth remembering. While these printers are very upgradeable. The tech is changing fast. And this is the price range where an older printer is likely to have changed the most compared to newer models.
