I Created this page, as i am saving up to buy one and am currently lost in the see of printers and clone kits.

The Original Prusa i3 MK3s is great, but costs ~1,000 which is quite an investment.

The creality ender... and clones seems good, but bowden tubes are problematic from what I have heard so I am looking for direct drive

I'm wanting an auto leveling and heated bed, although that is a want not a need (i guess)

I am lost on motion controll options

I don't need any fancy interface, all I want is an SD card reader (full size preferably, yet not required), and a usb port (for later octoprint install long term)

I don't know how I will do with building. The screws and all that seem fine. My only worry is dealing with mains voltage, and micro soldering (arduino soldering due to shorting out/bad solders, although I NEED TO LEARN EVENTUALLY I KNOW) although I can solder join wires well,as well as do PCBs with a decent enough gap between solder points

So that is my situation with this, hope you can help, and hope this helps anyone else in my situation
