Topic: Next 3D printer

Right guys,
Thinking of considering my next 3D printer but not sure what to get?
I need to be able to 'hack' and modify it and preferably dual extruder or more
Hopefully you could help
Thanks big_smile

I got a Flashforge Creator Pro and love it. I still have my DaVinci 1.0.

I just received the metal version and I should be firing it up midweek. I did have to align the extruders and print spool holders but should have it running soon. Just waiting for my 24volt to 12volt converter that is due in today so I can install RGB LED strips. I plan to replace both my Da Vinci and Kossel if it performs as well as the reviews say it does.

Printing since 2009 and still love it!
