So today I updated my printers firmware along with Slic3r and the print time estimate was surprisingly accurate, which I am not used to. Slic3r said a print would take 3 hours and 44 minutes and when it finished thats exactly what was displayed on the printer.

Oh cool, i didn’t even now this thread existed. The more you know.

I’ve been looking at 3D printing for a few years now and have always put it off as “too expensive”. But prices seem to have come down quite a bit.
So, with christmas not too far off, what’s currently the cheapest “decent” option to get into 3D printing? I’m not looking for perfect results, just something to play with, that’s good enough to print some fancy RPi Cases and such.Potential upgradability would be nice, but it’s mainly about pure hard cash. How cheap can you go and still get decent results?

I want one so bad.
