3D printer for making a bag rider.

[cp255]

I've been trying to figure out how to get a bag rider for my Foundation Genesis 2 stock. I think I might just want to CAD and 3D print one myself. Can anyone recommend a good 3D printer for this? I'm sure I will find other uses for it afterward.

If you want the easy button, and can support the chi-coms, I would get the Bambu Lab P1S

Or if you want, I can run some prints for you.

I have a Dremel 3d40 that is not reliable enough for me to run production on, but would be fine for doing an occasional print. I will sell it for $200 shipped.

There is also the Bambu X1C.

I believe that the Bambu P1S is currently on sale for a ridiculously low price with AMS for $599. It is not my favorite 3d printer but is very popular and is a workhorse. I recently sold mine to make room for a Snapmaker U1. I printed several rudders on the P1S for my MPA Competition chasis.

At 500 bucks for just the printer, it's absolutely the best bang for the buck, by a long shot.

Did Bambu drop prices to compete with the Elegoo Centauri? At under $300, with good features, tough to beat

My grandson with engineering aspirations has one picked out for $ 8979.00
So I tell him I'll kick in 25% if he comes up with the rest. He's thinking of selling
off two of his too many dirt bikes, a Yamaha mini, and a PW.......Nuts.......

That would be one heck of a magnificent 3D printer for $8979. It must be an industrial printer, not a hobby printer. Any chance that's a misprint?
If you are putting in $2244, you are a great grandfather. Will you adopt me?
