Machines

This is one of the machines that I use for my 3D printing business. The other one is a CR6 SE. The reason why I haven't recommended that one is because it has been discontinued and is very difficult to get.

I would recommend this white PLA. I always like to have white PLA because it is easy to spray paint afterwards.
