Recommendations for a 3D printer?

Post by ebeyer »

I’m looking to upgrade my 3D printer from my old but trusty daVinci Jr so I can do more of the projects I’m seeing on the Adafruit channel. Mostly, I’m limited by its relatively smaller print area and I would ideally like a dual extruder. I would like to try different filament types, especially bamboo PLA and maybe some ABS. Bonus points if the printer also supports Octoprint. What options should I consider?

Thanks in advance.

I'm still on my first printer but it's fabulous. Prusa i3 mk3. It's just the stock model but there are upgrades I believe for dual extrusion. The control board mounts a Pi0W directly which runs Octoprint and serves it up via wifi.
