Fair enough, i guess being that cheap it’s like many things - a roulette wheel of quality. Probably one of those things where I haven’t used anything else so don’t know what’s good and what isn’t!

Glad i recommended taking my judgement with a pinch of salt.

I’m not massively experienced with 3D printing so take this with a grain of salt.

That said though, I would personally consider what you would be doing in the future: If you’re just going to use it occasionally for small projects then it probably isn’t worth spending more than about 300€, but if you’re likely to use it a lot and eventually start to print more complex / intricate things and/or more often then getting a slightly nicer one would end up being worth it in my opinion!

Personally I have an Anet A8 (about 200€), it’s very basic and needs a lot of manual fiddling. Fortunately though, with a bit of tweaking in a slicer, it can produce quite nice prints in a reasonable time which is just fine for me as I only print infrequently and mostly things that don’t need to be too precise. There might be something better for that price point but if you’re just looking for something cheap that gets the job done then it’d probably serve you well!

Presumably yeah, if everyone could see the death / suffering count of various big companies we probably wouldn’t be using them nearly as much.

That’s an interesting idea, I suppose it’s possible if you have one or more databases with these statistics and then link them together and see. My instincts tell me that it’d be very impractical to implement though!

I have a pretty horrible sense of direction, and I find that looking for important (clearly visible) landmarks helps reorient me, as well as relying on a minimap wherever available. Also if there’s any way to place markers or waypoints to show you a route then that helps too. Navigating still sucks but it’s a bit less painful with those!

Out of curiosity, what does kooikerhondje translate to in english? Wonderful doggo :)
