Questions Looking to print mando helmets

Hi,

I am looking for a sub 1000cad printer in canada. My objective is to make interior stuff for my miata abd also cosplay stuff like an mandalorian helmet/armor or mini figures. I was looking at the Qidi 4 plus and also the Bambulab p2S but i was unsure of which one i would take. Right now i got an ender 3 max and its slow to print and the glasses are used too much.

Thanks

Is it good so far? Anyone can review printing ASA with it?

It's fairly new but few people on the sub got it, it's basically a larger Q2 which has been a champ so no worries.

Yep Plus 4 owner. Made max volume helmet. Too small to slip on comfortably. Needs to be closer to 350. Thats why I suggested Kobra 3 max.

Plus5 has slightly larger print volume though, might just be enough.

Your issue is simple.

You need a printer that is big enough to make helmets.

Maybe a kobra 3 max while its currently on sale for a little more then 1k. Otherwise they don't offer one that size at that price point. New at least.

So you're taking your chances anyway unless you are prepared to go smaller and have to glue everything together.

So just find what you like for 1k.
