Anyone have experience buying this stuff off of Alibaba?
Any good experiences or recommendations? I'm trying to shoot for cheapest stuff for a garage-summer setup (yeah garage) since I've had knee issues this season and ill probably be in fucking form this summer.

I don't know but if you make this work it would be the sickest shit. Like a ghetto woodward.

Please take pics from the process

i bought all the parts to build an off-brand i3 prusia 3d printer for like $100 off of alibaba. surprisingly everything worked out great and printer functioned perfectly, so, pull the trigger?

damn definitely post pics that sounds super sick. For my setup I bought an outdoor artificial grass rug from Home Depot for less than $1 per sqft. its cheaper than astro turf and with a little dish soap gives me almost too much speed.

My roommates and I have talked about building a dry slope this summer, anyone have experience using lattice fencing for speed?

To be safe try and order some samples if you can, Chinese manufacturers usually chill doin that- just find one with no minimums.

For the drop in I used a plastic gardening fence that’s pretty much the same material as the lattice fencing and it works well when wet but you can’t set an edge in it really so I would only have that on the drop in part then artificial grass for the lip

Yeah I was gonna order a bunch of sq. meters to test during march expo

It seems like a kid could build a basic summer setup using exclusively samples for cheap so I'm wondering whats the catch
