Looking for an dual extrusion 3d printer <500$

**quinton77** · 05-20-2019, 04:39 AM

Hello everyone,

Well to start off i'm really really new to 3d printing which is why i'm looking to buy one to start this as a hobby. I did a bit of a research and i found out that it's a huge pain in the butt to remove support structures by hand from a 3d printed model, but there was a feature that bypass this by just printing the support out of water-solluble plastic which is why i requested dual-extrusion in the title. But i am unsure if this would have any drawbacks (i hope not).

Also beside this feature, are there any other important ones i should be knowing about?

Thank you so much for reading this thread, please give me some recommendation to this.

Hello buddy,
I recently purchase a dual extrusion 3d printer under 500$. I purchased FlashForge 3D Printer Creator Pro. That is really like it much.
It is an open source 3D printer made from the original wooden framed one. The sturdy design of this metal-built product is further supported by a newly redesigned platform to ensure stability in vertical movements. Thereby, the printer can withstand higher temperatures

The Creator Pro utilizes dual extruder and works stable, with about 60% increase in print speed, compared to its previous model. The printing materials used include- PLA, ABS, dissolvable filament, Nylon, and other composite material types, like metal or wood.

Special thanks to bill baum as i read his article on Best 3D printer before purchasing it and i get good idea of each 3d printer with its pros and cons.

You can also check drawbacks of this printer at his article.

Hope that might help other you are looking for dual extrusion 3d printer under 500$

I have recently purchased ANYCUBIC MEGA X 3D printer under $500 and really very satisfied with its printing speed and quality. I never thought that a cheap 3D printer could do wonders for me. For more details, you can check out this guide.

I hope sure that it will help you to grab a dual extruder 3D printer for under $500. Thanks
