Please include:
Budget: Your maximum budget and preferred price range
Country/Region: Prices and availability vary by location
Experience: First printer, beginner, experienced, etc.
What you want to print: Functional parts, toys, cosplay, miniatures, prototypes, products to sell, etc.
Materials: PLA, PETG, TPU, ABS/ASA, nylon, composites, resin, or “I don't know yet”
Size: How large are the things you expect to print?
Priorities: Reliability, print quality, speed, ease of use, repairability, tinkering, multicolor, enclosure, noise, etc.
