Good FDM pribter to try out printing?
Hi, I want to buy a printer to try out 3d-printing. Thus a printer should be: 1. Not too expensive 2. Tolerant of beginners 3. Easy to get in/to Europe. I am presently looking at Anycubic, who have the Kobra and Kobra Neo on offer for 199 Euros and 179 Euro respectively. Are they any good or is there another printer that is a little better at a similar price point or way better at not too much more?
Honestly, If you are just trying to get into it, avoid some of the cheaper ender 3 clones, you’ll spend more time fixing and tinkering than printing.
Elegoos Neptune line is cheap, effective, and they have very good customer service
Yeah, 3d printing suffers from the same problem a lot of hardware-heavy hobbies suffer, where there is an entire tier of “entry level” models that are absolutely trash and only exist to disappoint and frustrate beginners until they upgrade or give up.
Fish keeping is also chronic for this as well - small, cheap “beginner” tanks are harder to maintain than larger ones
