  • I just sold an Anycubic Kobra for $100. And it wasn’t fun. You aren’t getting $200 for it, I would honestly put it up for $100, be firm and just get rid of it if you actually want to be rid of it.

    Or you can play the game for six months, and maybe get $120 for it. Is that $80 worth six months of dealing with some of the most awful people on the planet? I had a guy trolling me, like he kept messaging me from different profiles that he had created, writing just the most random shit. Super bizarre.


  • Right on! It’s a neat feeling for sure, seeing your creations come to life, and it’s all uphill from here too! You never forget your first printed model.

    Mine was when I was in college, I created a set of rims for an RC car in my solids class, and the reward for the projects best design was I got time on the schools printer to create them. You should have seen this contraption, thing basically looked like a coca-cola vending machine, it was roughly about that size too. It was quite a sight, but for the time it was a super big deal. Real cutting edge. Probably took 30 hours to print what my Bambu could burp out in under a half hour.

    If you told me back then I’d have a machine 20 times as capable, and a tenth of the size on the workshop of my bench at home 25 years later, for under $1k, I’m not sure I’d have believed you. Real story.
