What's the most key point when you decide to get a 3d printer?

stephenleeeyan

As the title said, what's the key point when you want to get your first 3d printer? Speed or others?

  • Main limitation is always the price. Now, within your price range, go for the following (in decreasing order of importance)

    - Bigger print volume

    - Support for more materials. At the least ABS and PLA.  (ABS usually requires a heated bed and enclosure for best results)

    - Good software support

    - Auto levelling is very good-to-have feature, but not critical if you have to compromise on other things

    - Dual head is convenient, but in my experience doesn't get used much.

    - Low noise level (good to have)
