Comment on Best options for entry level 3D printing available these days?
Dave@lemmy.nz 9 months agoDoesn’t entry level basically mean “what’s the cheapest you can get, while still being worth getting”?
Well, that’s the key… “still being worth getting”. The $100 special Ender 3 at monoprice probably isn’t worth getting for many people because of the frustration involved.
And so in reality the best answer for the question depends on each individual’s time-money tradeoffs.
There isn’t THE entry-level:
20x20cm Desktop FFF under $200
50x50cm desktop FFF $500
Toolchanger: roughly $1k
entry level plastic SLS: $10k
metal SLS: $50k

Depends, some people see it as what is the most accessible (eg. Prusa) while others want affordability (eg. Ender 3 and clones) and most want a mix of both.

The Bambu printers are also great “entry level” as they work so well with a lot of features right out of the box. They aren’t cheap though.
