View source for Acrylic prusa i3 pro C dual extruder 3d printer

=Introduction=
The Geeetech i3 pro C is a dual extruder 3D printer with laser-cut acrylic frame. To maintain the garage-built feel and the handmade charms, I3 pro C is also a build-it-yourself kit, which provide you an unforgettable step-by-step learning experience of 3D printer.

This 3D printer uses plastic build materials like Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene (ABS) and Polylactic Acid (PLA). The Geeetech i3 pro C is fast, easy to use, less costly, and great for builds that don't require super high precision. The Replicator 1 offers a layer height resolution of 0.1 mm - 0.3 mm, a positioning precision of 0.1-0.3mm on Z axis, and a maximum build envelope is 200 x200x180mm.

Upgrading a Prusa i3 use two colors or materials always seemed complicated, but we make it so simple thanks to the MK8 dual extruder. Now with the dual-extruder, you can print a single two-color object, or you can print two objects in one print job, each made from a different color. You can also print one single-color object, as with other single-extruder 3D printers. Or you can use one extruder for infill or support. The 2 extruder motor pushes filament through 2 head separately, so mixing colors is tricky for the moment (although not impossible).  

An onboard control panel is another useful feature of the Geeetech i3 pro c. It's via this panel that you'll launch the initial printer setup and build platform calibration. It displays the temperature of the extruder heads and the build platform as well as the progress of a print job.
You can also use the control panel to print directly from the printer's SD card slot. You will need a computer to load design files directly onto the SD card, but once those files are on there, you can print from with no PC attached.

As a consumer-level 3D printer, this dual-extruder i3 printer totally deserves your choice.
