Sub $350 3D Printer Recommendations



Starting 3D Printer        -- Tracy Delph        "Hey guys, I'm looking to buy my first 3d printer. My price point is sub $350. I've watched the KnowHow episode for the MonoPrice Maker Select and the New Matter Mod-t. I like both of these printers but I've seen some posts saying the Mod-t is more of a toy than a good 3D printer. Any recommendations, I'm new to this category but I catch on pretty quick.

Comments

  1. You probably didn't intend to, but your presentation implies that there are only 2 printers worth considering in this price range. That is not at all the case, as I'm sure you know.
