MP Select Mini or Duplicator i3 mini as first 3d printer?
Posted: Wed Oct 07, 2020 6:09 pm
I'm in the UK and would be slicing on Linux so ease of use with Cura would be good. This will be my first 3d printer. I would be printing Raspberry Pi cases and random models off Thingiverse eg. Baby Groot's. My budget is £200.
I have done lots of reading up and the MP Select Mini appears to have a good community behind it but in the UK it isn't always available. I have however seen the Wanhao Duplicator i3 Mini on Amazon which appears to fit my needs but the build area has a smaller Z axis and it doesn't have a heated bed. Also I don't know what the community is like.
Which out of the Select Mini V1 and Duplicator i3 Mini would you recommend? I am also open to other suggestions that meet my requirements and can be sourced in the UK. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
