Topic: DaVinci Community Help
I need a bit of help from the Da Vinci Community on wether or not I should go with the Da Vinci 1.0 or a Solidoodle 3 (since the price drop). I have been bitten before as an early adopter to a community, just to watch those who started off strong jump ship to something better.
What is holding me back is that to get the best prints from the Da Vinci, you need to flash the printer with the repetier firmware and the community right now is small. Also the firmware seems to be in beta, possibly alpha.
The Solidoodle community seems to be larger at this time, but it seems to me that you need to also tweak the firmware to install the E3d extruder for the best prints. With this printer, you can do ABS and PLA without too much tweaking, but have yet seen anyone print PLA on the Da Vinci.
What made you decide on the Da Vinci over other printers? I know that tweaking a 3d setup is normal and I am not opposed to that, I just want something that I can upgrade in due time and works until then.
Thanks.
