I´ve been thinking about buying myself a 3d-printer for a while now and compared different printers. After all I´ve read, the Felix printer should offer the best quality for the money.
My question is: What kind of tools or stuff do I need to run this printer ?
I´ve already read the assembly instructions (DIY-kit), so I know what tools i need for this part, but there`s some more I need, right?
- What do I use best to remove the printed model from the bed ? A spatula?
- It´s recommended to clean the filament from dust while printing. Do you use normal sponges for this? Maybe hold in a printed holder?
- What do you use to clean the printing bed? Does it really have to be alcohol or can I use something like glass cleaner for this?
- What kind of coating do you use for the bed? Kapton tape? How much of it is delivered in the DIY-kit of the Felix 3.0? What else do you use?
What else do I need?
I have almost no tools at home so it would be great if you could give me some tips what i need.
And something else I´d like to know: How reliable is the Felix 3.0? How much does he print before something breaks ?
I read terrifying stories about the Makerbot Replicator which only does a few prints before something breaks!
Can I let the Felix print unobserved for a few hours (maybe using a filament holder) ?
I´m really new to the 3d-printing-business, so please forgive some stupid questions
