Wanting to get into the 3D-action, I’ve gone and bought this elCheapo<\/a> thing of asian origin. It’s a knock-off made roughly according to Josef Prusa’s design<\/a>, which is admittedly opensource, but with him producing it as well, this one is a pale reflection of the quality found in the – somewhat more expensive – Prusa I3.<\/p>\n
