I got a craving for one last Xmas, the cheap ones are just that, cheap, you find then you need a heated bedplate, so it's £700 now, then one that does both kinds of plastic, and before you know it it's a couple of grand.

Rather spend it on a good CNC milling machine as I fancy building live steam railway locomotives again......

3d printers

Hi folks,
I've been tempted to dabble in 3d printing, and would like to buy a cheapish printer for 'playing with'.

Does anyone have experience of the sort of £300-£400 printers available on e-bay?

I don't mind a bit of tweaking or mechanical adjustment.
RS
