@mattarmstrong Although the MPCNC site is not well organized for the beginner, I’m finding a lot of good information on it, and have completely abandoned the Sienci product - although for less handy and inclined people, I still think the Sienci is an excellent product for what it is - 100% getting started and basic.
I am awaiting a pre-sales reply, and then ordering my 3D printer today. It’ll arrive in February. Once I get it assembled and calibrated, I’ll start printing my parts. You can order the printed parts as a set from MPCNC for $165,or print them yourself for about 2 spools of PVA and 120 hours printing time if using the recommended specs.
The spindle is quieter. But I came across a thread that said they still preferred the rotary tool, but I can’t find it to remember why they preferred it…sometimes I think the discussions geta little penny-wise and pound foolish in the long term decisions, but then that also depends on peoples budgets and their thresholds for tolerance.
