Hello.
I'm not sure what kind of experience with hobby 3D-printers is found here but I want to find out.
I am about to order a 3D-printer but I can't make up my mind because I don't have any experience, I am choosing between 3 or 4 printers and these are:
I had thought I had chosen Duplicator 6 due to its large print area(200x200x175mm) and it's high layer resolution of 20, 60 or 100micron, and it's high printing temperature(short-term: 260°C, long-term: 240°C). But it has only a single extruder.
And I am afraid that I would be missing out if not going with a dual extruder printer, let me tell you what I want the printer to do.
First of all I want to be able to print with nylon(really any durable plastic that is certified for use in foodstuffs, my first application is to print new drip tips(mouth peaces) for my Rebuildable Dripping Atomizer, but then I am also going to print cases for electronics projects.
I can't actually see why I would need the higher resolution of the Duplicator 6 but high resolution usually enables more fun things.
Do anyone have any opinion about whether to choose a dual extruder printer with a smaller printing area versus choosing a single extruder printer with larger print area and lower resolution than the single extruder printer?
Regards
