      I’d like to try build my own printer and live the premise of an idex. I have a Duet 2 wifi. How much would you budget for something with a 300x300x300 or so area?

        How much would you budget

        I like good stuff, so I'd budget US$3,000 - 4,000

        Here's one for US$650:

          @alankilian Too rich for me as a hobbiest. I'd be able to spend about £800 on components and then want to learn to build it myself.

                  There is an IDEX kit for the Ender 3 which is working pretty decentl (enderidex.com). It works like the Ender 3: Decent for the price, but I wouldn't compare it with the 4 figure models on the market.

                    RatRig has the V-Cast which comes in an IDEX configuration if you are interested. Their basic mechanics kit for the IDEX V-Cast is about 380EUR: https://www.ratrig.com/3d-printing-cnc/rat-rig-v-cast.html
