Recently I started printing on Bambulab (previously on Průša Mini). If anyone is curious about how much difference is it
Its not about the size… Its about how you use it… Or something like that
Yeah, but a bigger size allows you to use it better
pfff… that’s what THEY want you to believe 😄
It’s called effiency
Those are not comparable in market target or price point. This is like comparing a motorcycle saddle bag and a car trunk
What are the dimensions of each plate?
180x180 Vs 254x254 iirc
And then there’s my 5 years old Hypercube Evolution at 300x300 mm (or 1ft x 1ft)
I got a CR10 Max. 450x450mm
And on the other end there’s my MP Select Mini 120x102mm
Nice. I had one of those back in the day, but gave it to a friend.
I’ve got one now with a V6 knockoff hot end, steel PEI print bed, and running klipper firmware. It was backup printer, and now it’s the backup to the backup (purchased Comgrow $70 used Ender 3 pro).
I’d like to give this to a friend that’s interested in printing, but I’d have to flash back to stock firmware. The buttons and display don’t work with klipper, and I don’t have a spare raspberry pi.
It’s still relevant with the upgrades I made to it, except it’s still has really noisy steppers, and the build volume is so small it’s really limiting. I think the Prusa mini is still large enough to be practical. The monoprice is mostly relegated to toys.
I need some 18650 holders for a project which the mini can do great with, but I need a lot and printing them two or three at a time won’t cut it.
I left mine in our family vacation house to print spare parts in the summer.
Nice. Personally, I don’t think that I could find use for that size. I wanted little bigger than 220x220mm because projects
I got a 300x300mm Sidewinder X2. It’s just big enough to fit my noggin and therefore print a helmet capable of fitting my noggin.
Yeah that is a tough size if it’s all you have. When I fist got mine I had just the mini and a CR10s 400 which is 400x400mm so anything I could get away with on the little guy I did and kept the big projects on the monster.
How do you like the difference?
Very much. Can print bigger projects, or smaller one with more parts on the same plate (for example, rims for rc car, which is technically part of the bigger project)
