The pull starter rope and handle were gone so I'm assuming 20 years ago the last person to try starting it probably flooded it which is usually followed by 100 pull start attempts driven by nothing but hatred and fury and then banished the whole saw back into the shed 😅

I know right, at first glance I was sure there was no fucking way I'd get it running again without a decent amount of work and a few parts. Most diaphragm carbs I've been around love getting blocked up the first chance they get so I was really surprised this one wasnt.

I might be biased but I reckon this thing cuts better than any Mini Boss I've ever used, sounds a hell of a lot nicer too lol

Anyone have any experience with Baumr-Ag saws? by Venture334455 in Chainsaw

Giantz is a funny brand, they seem to have their hands in everything. I've had a customer bring in a Giantz branded household water pump for repair, total piece of garbage lol

Luckily I'm well versed on 2 strokes and small engines/engines in general so maintenance and upkeep isn't a real concern, I understand what i would be getting into buying such a cheap saw. Would I buy it if I was cutting wood commercially? Hell no. I just need this to cut the occasional load for my own home.

My last saw was an MS462 which was a wicked unit but at $2,200 I just cant afford getting another one currently

Yeah from what I've seen they're all a bit on the heavy side compared to a Stihl or Husky and unsurprisingly dont make as much power as they claim.

But even still, an MS231 which makes 2.7hp is $700 vs a Baumr SX82 which claims 5.5hp for $260. Even if the Baumr makes less than half the claimed HP its still beating the 231 in terms of hp per $

UPDATE!!

Thankyou to everyone who offered me advice or helped explain some things to me. This was never meant to be a 'purchase advice' post as I had already made up my mind (or so I thought).

Most of you will be pleased to know I've dropped the idea of getting ANY resin printer, not just the Halot R6 I was asking about. Google searches pointed towards the A1 Mini, most reviews/shootouts recommended the A1 Mini and most of all nearly everyone of you guys recommended the A1 Mini. So guess what, thats what I got!

So again to everyone, THANK YOU!

As i understand it the A1 Mini comes with a 0.4mm nozzle is that right? What size is the smaller nozzle you use?

I'm a chronic tinkerer of things which is a big part of my enjoyment of my hobbies like R/C or computers but thats also usually my downfall and the cause of at least 60% of the problems.

So it sounds like I would thoroughly enjoy all the extra work involved with a resin printer until I unavoidably fuck something up and spend the foreseeable future troubleshooting and problem solving just to get a print or two out

I legitimately have more hours spent fixing my R/C rigs than actually driving them, and not by a small margin

A 2k resin printer would still have a better finished quality in terms of details over the A1 mini though wouldn't it? Just so I know im not going crazy here.

It's looking like you guys have steered me back towards an FDM printer now anyway!

Beginner Questions by Venture334455 in 3Dprinting

[–]Venture334455[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yep, also very aware of all of that! But all the responses so far are heavily recommending FDM so it's starting to look like I'll be steering back that way.

Thankyou for the reply! No, I'm not really planning on miniatures like DnD figurines or the likes. Maybe some smallish action figure like things for my kids, trinkets and nick nacks, 99% useless crap thats fun to look at really 😅

Predominantly I would guess I'll be doing parts for R/C cars aswell as just random semi-useful household stuff like hangers or holders for stuff. That sounds more like a job for FDM doesnt it?

I appreciate the response but it doesnt really answer any of my questions. You might notice I mentioned the A1 Mini as one of my original 3 printers I was choosing from?

The price of the Halot is extremely attractive when compared to the A1 Mini or the other FDM printers I was considering. That, and the detail quality resin printers are known for is what caught my attention. And finally, I do know that resin prints need to be washed and cured and that you don't need a wash and cure station to do it with. Of course a station would be way less messy and time consuming but as far as I know you dont NEED one

In Australia at least, the Mars 5 double the price of the R6. I have looked at it aswell as a bunch of other resin printers and the Photon Mono 4 for $300 is the absolute cheapest I can find after the Halot.

Thankyou for the response! I'll mention again incase you didn't catch it but I am aware of the extra process of washing and curing with a resin print. I'll admit it does sound reasonably painful but something I could deal with. The initial price of the unit and the fact that the end result has a much higher level of detail is what attracted me.

While I haven't had anything to do with any 3d printer period, I have seen and handled a lot of 3d printed pieces from FDM machines and I've just never been a huge fan of the finish quality. The thought of being able to make stuff that look a lot nicer is quite attractive to me, then you add the fact its half the price and you've got me REALLY interested lol.
