Topic: Best stable printer at $500 with 300mm cubed of build space?

Hi,
I recently had a really bad experience with Flyingbear Tornado and while I'm waiting for the bank to reverse the charge after returning it, I need some kind of 3D printer for my project that is very reliable and table with a 300mm by 300mm by 300mm build volume and at a price point of around $500.

Any suggestions/reviews? Thank you for helping!

You will have a very hard time finding a "GOOD" printer with that build volume for your price. My CT'c is all metal and has a build area of around 60 by 120 by 120 and it was $900.

Printing since 2009 and still love it!
Anycubic 4MAX best $225 ever invested.
Voxelabs Proxima SLA. 6 inch 2k Mono LCD.
Anycubic Predator, massive Delta machine. 450 x 370 print envelope.

DIY Hypercube is close to that price point but it's self sourced parts. I didn't find any DIY kits. Looking for a ready to ship DIY kit.

you could try one of these. I built a V1 they are not bad but require some work to assemble.
Do not be surprised if a part is missing or does not work. You just need to contact ft and they will send what you need if you communicate the need properly.
