Cheap €72 3D Printer Offers Hacking Potential Despite Limitations on Print Quality and Size
-
The EasyThreed K9 FDM printer costs only €72 but has a small 10 x 10 x 10 cm build volume and an unheated print bed.
-
Assembly is easy but the plastic build quality is questionable. The print head is decent with a flip-up cover for access and a cooling fan.
-
The control board uses an ARERY AT32F403ARCT7 MCU, which is similar to STM32 chips. There is potential for WiFi and other expansions.
-
Print quality suffers from slop between the axes. Only small 250g filament spools can be used.
-
While not a great out-of-box printer, the low price and hacking potential make it interesting for tinkering. Comments show community interest.
