    For that price I would recommend the Wanhao Duplicator i3. It is re-branded and sold in Australia as the Cocoon Create from Aldi (currently unavailable to buy)or the Balco 3d from Kogan. https://www.kogan.com/au/buy/balco-3d-printer-with-4-x-free-… Its at $499 at the moment but was recently $399 and also goes on sale during ebay 20% off occasionally, so wait if you can.

    It does require a bit of tinkering to get the best performance, but at that price it out performs anything else and has a great facebook page for support.

    What are you using it for?

    • What are you thoughts about the Da Vinci Jr. 1.0 3D? Found it for under $400 for local stock with pick up.

      Need it to print some test samples.

  • Hey OP what did u end up buying?

    Ive been looking at

    Balco 3D Printer with 4 x FREE Filaments and Print Mat

    and

    XYZprinting Da Vinci 1.0A 3D Printer - Single colour printing

  • any recommendation?

    I need a cheap reliable 3D printer for my architectural model.

    Balco filaments are cheaper compare to XYZ printing Da Vinci.

  • hi guys, we got the balco one, is there anyway to stop the current printing?we are switching on/off everytime we need to stop… we cant find on settings or anything.thanks guys
