Comment on what budget 3d printer would you suggest for a beginner?
nunchuk@lemmy.bigsecretwebsite.net 1 year agoJust adding onto this as someone who got an ender 3 V2. This comment rings so true because I tried and tried to get the printer to work how I wanted for months before I just gave up. Flash forward almost 2 years and I got a much nicer but not crazy (~$400 if I recall) and it’s such a night and day difference. I actually quite enjoy printing now, whereas I just kinda thought it wasn’t for me with my first printer. Turns out cheap tools really do give cheap results

Adding onto this as someone who bought an ender 3 pro years ago and got it printing beautifully within about 6 months.
Yes, you have to have some knowledge and skills, but it is quite possible to get those printers working nicely and reliably. Of course, between the cost of upgrades and the time spent it’s only worth it if you want to learn or practice.
