<div dir="ltr">All 3D printers. (at least of the "Fused Deposition Modeling" type)<br><br>I have most recently been able to play around with a Makerbot Replicator 5th gen printer.<br>Purported to be the pinnacle of the "just press print" machines.<div>And it mostly succeeds. But you still have to go through leveling the bed, the filament still jams, feed rates need to be adjusted depending on the filament type and vendor and the humidity in the room and how the stars are aligned. It isn't just this one expensive printer. It's just the nature of this technology.<br><br>I still recommend the Printrbot Simple Metal to a lot of people. it's really good for the cost. Everyone I know who has bought one has been printing within 30minutes. However, everyone I know who's bought one has also started making major modifications to the printer within the first week. That might be more because I know a lot of tinkerers and makers though. :P<br><br>Just my observations on the matter.</div><div>-Tim</div></div><div class="gmail_extra"><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Tue, Aug 9, 2016 at 9:56 AM, David <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:ainut@knology.net" target="_blank">ainut@knology.net</a>></span> wrote:<br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex">

<p>Tim, are you saying that all 3D printers require much tinkering
and fixing? Or just the Prusa i3?</p><span class="HOEnZb"><font color="#888888">

<div>Easy enough to get up and running with any 3d printer
today. but you'll be constantly tinkering and fixing little
things.</div>
