Hello! I have been on the fence about getting a printer for years. Now my wife is getting interested too, and I feel that now it’s the time.

What are the recommendations nowadays? I am trying to steer clear of Bambi Labs due to their controversies (I’m also a supporter of open source software).

I’ve seen a few mentions of Prusa in this community. Would that be a good start? I don’t want to get in at an extremely basic level and then need to upgrade in half a year.

    Hi and welcome! Do you have a budget and a rough idea of the kinds of things you’d be looking to print?

    Naively, I’d second the core one recommendation, assuming that the price tag isn’t a problem and that you aren’t looking to print multi-color (it’s still possible on that machine, just not something that comes stock).

      I think that multi colour isn’t a huge deal.

      Initially I’d be printing things like organisers.

      My wife wants to build interesting art. Like eye ball phone holders or other fun stuff.
