Comment on Hot take: 3D printing toys kinda sucks
squaresinger@lemmy.world 15 hours agoThat’s mostly outdated. Sure, you can still get an Ender 3 in 2025 and spend years fixing it up and upgrading it, but you can also spend €200, get an Anet A1 Mini and be done with it.
These things print almost flawlessly out-of-the-box and are dirt cheap.
€200 for the printer, €20 for a roll of filament and you are set.

So I should buy the Anet A1 mini?

I recently got a flash forge adventure 5m and was printing in 30 minutes with no prior experience. There’s definitely a learning curve but if you can get a paper printer working, you can do a 3d printer

It’s a good printer if you just want to print and don’t care for hardware modding. If you fit into that profile, yes, get it.
