So, I am new to 3D printing. It's something I have thought about for a while, but I don't need another hobby but with the changes coming involving suppressors my interest in 3D printing has increased..... Would a Prusa CORE One+ (Gen 2) be capable of this or printing other durable parts..? Any issues with the company and censorship..? |
I don't need therapy. I just need someone to rob me at the gas station so I can let it all out.

More expensive and smaller feature set than other brands . Excellent print quality and accuracy. Non-chinese company, fully open source, highly moddable. Can be built from scratch with the kit for less money if that's what you're into. No concerns with the company as far as censorship or control goes, they can be ran 100% offline with no loss of functionality. Overall a solid printer. https://www.ar15.com/forums/General/Prusa-Core-One-for-first-printer-what-are-your-thoughts-/194-2855739/ |

^^^ What he said. I have the original core one and a MK4. My only complaint is that the original hot end isn't great for the super duper engineering materials, and they have an upgrade coming out for that. That's another thing they do, which is offer upgrades for existing products. I went with Prusa specifically due to them being open source/open hardware and being able to run offline forever without anyone ever knowing what I've printed (which is mostly a crapton of electronics enclosures and a few cat-shaped trinkets.) My primary OS is linux and their slicer runs great on it. |

Yep, and if you didn't want to wait for the official hardware and firmware to upgrade the hotend then you can pretty easily put one together yourself with a copper heat block and a PT1000 thermistor. Just need to download the firmware source code which they make available on their github, change the resistor values and max temp, compile and flash it. This doesn't even void Prusa's factory warranty. I did this exact thing to my old Mk3 to get over 300C on the nozzle. |
