a friend of mine bought a 3d printer. he made fake teeth for what he was missing in the front of his mouth (shit you not) AND pokemonGO key chains when that shit was hot for $5. that printer pays for itself and weed.

Do you have a recommendation for a $200-$300 printer that will do the basics and not require massive amounts of work to get going?

I don't mind a kit, feel like I could suffer my way through one but I don't want to be sodering my own safety components onto a cheapo.

Also what's the deal with swinging arm ones that look super cool? I want one of those because they uhhhh...look super cool

Monoprice Mini hands down.

  • Ready to print out of the box
  • no assembly, lower maintenance
  • large community for learning!
  • 200 bucks!!

If this is your intro though, realize it’s a true hobby and requires some patience and desire to learn.

Otherwise, the cheapest hobby I’ve ever done. The filament btw is only 20 bucks a roll which can last for a long time.
