Jun 30, 2017 at 15:32 comment added mattcurrentjr I'm just making a point that you're going to quickly turn people off to stack exchange by dismissing their questions as "not researched at all". I don't personally care, I've gotten a brilliant answer by Greenonline already. I think it was very helpful.
Jun 30, 2017 at 15:29 comment added Tom van der Zanden While I appreciate that, StackExchange isn't the place for that. It isn't a forum or discussion board. Please see don't ask and how to ask for an explanation of what kinds of questions we are looking for.
Jun 30, 2017 at 12:49 comment added mattcurrentjr Well Tom, I figured this page is full of the 3-D printing experts. I can do as much googling as I want, but it's nice to hear people's opinions. Especially all of you. Reasonably cheap means someone who is new to 3-D printing and doesn't want to sink $1000 into something that won't work. Sorry for the vagueness of the question.
Jun 30, 2017 at 6:13 comment added Tom van der Zanden I am voting to close this question, because (1) it is far too broad (what kind of printer are you looking to build?) (2) it is opinion based and vague (what is "reasonably cheap"?) (3) it asks for references ("guides") rather than self-contained answers (4) it shows no research effort at all. I think the latter is not strictly speaking a reason to close, but a few minutes on google would have lead to asking some much more focused questions rather than this overly general one.
Jun 30, 2017 at 4:37 comment added Greenonline I'm voting to leave this question open, because it is a good novice type question, that is always asked, and yes, whilst it is too broad and will invite opinion based answers, then again, so is What are the pros and cons of collecting parts yourself, versus getting a DIY kit and then modifying it? and that has (ultimately) been a well received question...
