Hi everyone.

I'm looking to get a 3D printer for Christmas to build Antweight robots and other wee ideas and was wondering if anyone can offer any advice. I've found a few but with this being my first 3D printer I don't know what's good and what's bad.

The first i've found is the Mini Fabrikator V2 by Turnigy (https://hobbyking.com/en_us/mini-fab...r-uk-plug.html). It looks like it has a sturdy design and can connect via wifi but the downside is it only has a build size of a 100mm cube which might be on small side for ants. (iirc the size limit is a 4 inch cube for ants?).

The second I found was the Tronxy X-1 (https://hobbyking.com/en_us/tronxy-x...t-uk-plug.html). This has a bigger build size, 150mm cube, and is a kit so some assembly is required but also means it should be easier to fix any problems. They also have a bigger X-3 (https://hobbyking.com/en_us/tronxy-x...l-uk-plug.html) which builds at 220x200x300mm but is more expensive and possibly too big for someone inexperienced.

I was going to get a Monoprice Select Mini v1 (https://www.amazon.co.uk/Monoprice-1.../dp/B06XXPN8GY) but it sold out before I could get it and I can't find anywhere selling for the same price (£133).

If anyone has any other suggestions let me know. Thanks in advance.
