Really all depends on what your wanting. What size are you looking to print, what material ao you want to print. I have a few different printes for different types of prints. Here's a good list and feature breakdown to narrow down some of the very few choices out there.

still too many choices lol.
for starters, say I want to print the RFG nozzle. so material must be reef safe and can withstand staying in saltwater permanently. most likely, I'll be printing mostly for use in my reef tank. |

Reef safe IMO would be ABS or PETG, but lots of places that offer frag racks and the like offer them in PLA which is the absolute easiest and cheapest material to print in. The one main issue with PLA is heat, which wouldn't apply to a reef tank. Personally I print all my pieces in ABS but that is becasue I am geared to print ABS as it is the easiest to do finishing work on which is what I need for what I do. https://www.facebook.com/Tundra-Desi...8411668900298/ |

something proven and reliable that is the lowest price.
would something with lots of mods and hacks be better? |

https://all3dp.com/1/best-cheap-budg...aker-select-v2 For $220 it can print whatever you need since it has a fair sized heated bed. If you want to do ABS and myabe larger pieces in PETG you would want to build a cabinet for it to contain the heat and sheild from any air movement. |

Is the OD really different between the 1/2 and 3/4 versions? Their site lists both as 1.625.

[QUOTE=d0ughb0y;25363684]if it cannot be modified, does that mean VCA (OnlyTono) recreated it from scratch based on the idea?
OnlyTono cleverly deleted the design from his account. but Cleven has screenshots of it. He can easily challenge any patent OnlyTono have on this and get royalty. I'm sure any patent attorney would love to get this case. If Cleven does no go after him, then karma will.[/QUOTE Yeah he is the ***** that took the design. Ask yourself this. A mechanical engineer who works with high velocity flow rates and pressures and pumps everyday or a web designer created/ invented the design. I basically took a flow educator and added a profile(adjustable on solidworks) to increase turbulence (randomness) of the flow. I created it to allow better flow over clownfish eggs and some corals I had in odd areas of the tank. I made this to advance the community for free. Not for someone to rip it off and start selling it as his own. His argument he says he was just testing mine and printed it out to check the differences between his and mine. BS. Problem with lawsuit is it costs a lot of money these days. Last one I was involved in cost over 1 million and 2 years of problems. |

If anyone wants the raw files send me your email I’ll give to you.
Also others before asked me if they could print and sell them and donate a part of the sale. I always said yes. The issue with this whole thing is he didn’t say where he got it from. |
