What about the Qidi X-PLUS 3? Kind of in the middle of both of those.

Which 3D printer should I go for? Budget $400-$1000

I will be printing with abrasive filament like PA12 and PA12-CF.

I know I will probably have to do a few mods to whichever printer I go with like a DLC nozzle etc.

I will be printing small enclosures that will need to have a high resistance to heat/chemicals/liquids etc.

The size of the enclosures I will be making will be around this size or larger. 73.85mm x 52mm x 23.25mm

I will be producing a prototype and then once I get everything dialed in I will be making small batches of 20-40 enclosures.

Photo for reference on what I will be making.

The size of enclosures aren’t very big. Around this size range but a little bit bigger 73.85mm x 52mm x 23.25mm

So I don’t know hardly anything. Wanting to spend $800 or less. As far as build volume goes nothing crazy. Producing a few prototypes of enclosures and then once I have a working prototype small batches of 20 to 40 enclosures.

Hey , just reaching out to anyone who might be able to give me pointers or information on doing custom color wraps sublimation to enclosures. Wanting to learn how the process works so I can make my own designs and enclosures and be sent off to get built. Thanks in advance for your time. Did you ever end up having any luck?
