Sigh. Just buy local. The Wombot family of 3d printers designed and manufactured right there in Melbourne. http://aurarum.com.au/ The drafter is less than $1k and absolutely top quality also in printing. Open source design as well. Aurarum also manufactures filament. Regards, Arjen. On 7 August 2017 9:24:51 pm AEST, Gordon Heydon via luv-talk <luv-talk@luv.asn.au> wrote:
Hi,
I just got shocked and received my shipping tracking no. I only ordered it last week and they were saying 2-3 weeks. I checked and now it is saying 1-2 weeks.
If you can afford the Prusa then get that. I also liked the fact that they have the upgrade kits to upgrade all the way from the Prusa i3 Plus to the MKS2. I am also waiting looking forward to getting the multi material upgrade which supports 2 or 4 materials at the same time. PVA supports, I can’t wait.
Gordon.

There are also lots of Chinese made 3d printers which are really good, these guys you are talking about have the pricer printers. Places like GearBest or Banggood have a wide range or printers, such as the Creality3D CR - 10 3D Desktop DIY Printer http://www.gearbest.com/3d-printers-3d-printer-kits/pp_441282.html which is getting good reviews lately. I have just ordered a new printer, the Original Prusa i3 MK2S http://shop.prusa3d.com/en/3d-printers/59-original-prusa-i3-mk2-kit.html which is the printer all i3 style printers have copied. But this is a bit more. It cost me about $AUD1000 shipped.
I just put together a new Prusa i3 Mk2s on the weekend and I'm incredibly happy, with no tweaking at all it's already delivering amazing prints, I think it was below AU$900 delivered.
The Wanho Duplicator which is a clone of an earlier Prusa is one a few folk at $WORK have which is much cheaper.
I wouldn't buy either if you don't want to spend time tweaking, I'm not really sure there's anything out the in the consumer-ish space that works without tweaking.
