Being new to 3d printing (and looking to buy my first printer), and after a lot of research, I figure a good alternative to quality and price would be a p3steel kit. I know the original prusa i3 mk2 is very recommended but my budget of around 400€ puts that option aside. I don’t want to source parts myself as it would be too much of a trouble. I want to build my printer and learn as I move but want to skip sourcing parts. I found couple of choices but would prefer some input on people with more experience. This is the kits I have narrowed down to: https://www.hta3d.com/impresoras-3d/Kit-Completo-P3Steel/P3STEEL-DIY-KIT (good assembly video showing every step) http://www.3despana.com/kit-de-impresora-3d/375-kit-impresora-3d-prusa-i3-p3steel-3de-pro-mk9-mk3-completo.html (good price, black frame) http://inven.es/kit-impresoras-3d/397-inven-3d-kit-impresora-3d-prusa-p3-steel-all-metal-completa.html (all metal frame, less printable parts) reprapalgarve.com (this one I’m not sure, but it’s locally manufactured with a very nice price) Would appreciate any help before I move to buying my first printer.
IMO the 3despana kit looks good. Although they are all very similar. Biggest thing I can suggest is to make sure it has the lead screws (trapezoidal thread). I upgraded from threaded rod to these and the difference was huge. Best to start off with them if possible.
