D3D Competitors Comparison

Introduction

The goal of this page is to compare and contrast common D3D Printer models with competitor models.

Of particular interest are open-source competitor models.

If this page gets complex enough, then breaking out each model into a separate page may be warranted leaving this page as an index.

Potential Comparison Products

VERY low end

• TEasyThreed X1 a ~100 USD Printer

NOTE: This section is more relevant to low-income people, or people living in third-world or developing countries. We currently don't have a version of the D3D targeted for this segment of the population, but maybe we could (e.g. the D3D Free, D3D Cheap, D3D Low-Cost etc.) .

Basics

• A D3D For as little cost as possible
• Not one based of e waste, for standardization purposes, although these can be made for cheaper
• Most likely will have a small print bed, use low melting point materials, and will have to move slowly, but may be useful for small parts, and for building additional machines
• As of now this is experimental due to the The "Poor Can Only Afford to Buy A Tool Once" Issue

Low End

• Ender 3
• CR-10 etc
• Various clones of clones of clones on alibaba etc
• Prusa Mini (Similar to d3d universal in structure)

Entusiast/Prosumer

• Prusa MK3s
• Lulzbot

"Pro"

• Ultimaker?
• Makerforged

D3D Pro

TODO: Replace with table comparison of D3D Pro to comparable open-source competitor models.

D3D Universal

TODO: Replace with table comparison of D3D Universal to comparable open-source competitor models.
