Topic: whassup from so cal

I'm a newbie here on this forum, but not so much with 3d printing.

I started with a DaVinci Pro a couple of years ago.
I fix machines for a living so I couldn't stop myself from tinkering with it. I modified it with an E3D V6 hot end, and some other mods. The first mod I did was the rear spool hanger so I could use off the shelf filaments.

Last year I bought an Anycubic Linear Plus as a kit. A delta printer. It has it's drawbacks but overall I really like it. I modified it also to accept the E3D V6 hot ends.

Now I'm thinking about a third printer. Looking at the monoprice mini.

I have a bunch of designs on Thingiverse

Re: whassup from so cal

Just checked out your designs on Thingiverse, I really liked most of your designs, they are very practically useful and most of them are structurally strong. Very impressive work!

I'm big fan of MonoPrice 3D printer. They are noisy and all need some initial work, but they become very realible printer after that and offer great print quality and fast print speed.  My first 3D printer is MonoPrice mini, the only thing I don't like about that printer besides noisy is the build volume. Since you are experienced 3D printer owner, take look at MonoPrice Maker select V2 or PLUS at ebay, you can get V2 under $130 and PLUS under $275 depend on the condition.
