Topic: Maker space class printer
I was asked by the local maker space manager to put together a build and use class for 3d printers.
Our basic goals not an expensive printer I am thinking about $200 each. Easily built we are talking about 16 hours of total class time so do not want to spend it all on building. So pre assembled or mostly assembled would work. . Good for beginners. Something with a good track record. Open source. Upgradeable.
The one that comes to mind is the Ender 3 or possibly the Ender 3 pro. These are melzi board printers.
Not the most popular choice these days.
The other possibility is the monoprice mini or the delta.
So thoughts Ideas suggestions or related experiences.
Obviously no some flung dung brands direct from china. No Annet A8 or the like that tend to start fires,
