MP Select Mini or Duplicator i3 mini as first 3d printer?

Post by kepiluna2 » Wed Oct 07, 2020 6:09 pm

I'm in the UK and would be slicing on Linux so ease of use with Cura would be good. This will be my first 3d printer. I would be printing Raspberry Pi cases and random models off Thingiverse eg. Baby Groot's. My budget is £200.

I have done lots of reading up and the MP Select Mini appears to have a good community behind it but in the UK it isn't always available. I have however seen the Wanhao Duplicator i3 Mini on Amazon which appears to fit my needs but the build area has a smaller Z axis and it doesn't have a heated bed. Also I don't know what the community is like.

Which out of the Select Mini V1 and Duplicator i3 Mini would you recommend? I am also open to other suggestions that meet my requirements and can be sourced in the UK. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

This passage level 3D printer comes completely gathered and will be prepared to 3D print inside minutes after un-boxing.
