Another thing to consider is how much time you want to spend tinkering or working on your printer. This is somewhat related to the reliability point, but some people love to spend as much time modifying and making their printer work as they do printing (which is a fun hobby). And some people just want to print. The home 3D printer world is just now emerging from the hot rod era that cars went through decades ago.

Great talk .
My first (2 months ago) was a max neo. Zero complaints except ... and that is why I am looking for second model and that is speed. Taking 2 days to print a laptop wall mount is enough to make me go bananas!
My priorities.
1.speed with quality
2. Speed
3. Speed & quality
4. ... did I mention Speed and quality?
5. Then I look at price.

Thank you so much for this, I've been looking into the world of 3D printing and this was very helpful

Ordered my 1st last night. An Elegoo Neptune 3 Max. Home cockpit panels are my primary use case.

Thanks for the video! I am very happy with my printer I ended up chosing. I appreciate the helpful videos, it helped a ton during my research! lol

my very first printer was ordered. Bamboo Lab P1P. Now I'll need to order/buy some material to print something. :)

As a first time viewer this was such an amazing overview, I can't tell you the amount of extra reliability you get by telling us to check out other places and not just take your word for it although I definitely do trust it! Thank you so much for your time and effort to make this video, lots of appreciation for it. I'm slowly trying to find a 3d printer for a custom car modification business and this has given me a lot to digest :) Definitely liked and subscribed

Probably get that little printer you recommend; I trust you know exactly what you're talking about. Thank you, Brother (I did hit that like button)

Jim, good video. Another thing to consider is that you can grow with the hobby. I got my first printer 4 years ago an Ender 5, since then I have added and replaced printers, as my needs and skill level changed. i no longer have any of my first printers, but now have 4 that I'm very happy with.

I got a lot out of your video thanks for expanding things to consider that I hadn’t before

Ender 5 Pro & Sovol SV06 were my #1 & #2 printers. I like the E5P, it is a solid printer, no issues at all. The SV06 was amazing right out of the box but started going downhill fast with about 6 weeks of printing time on it. I am looking for Printer #3 and thinking the Bambu A1 as choice. I print table top terrain for ww2 wargaming. 28mm scale. PLA+ filament is all I use. What are your thoughts on these 3 printers?

For me it all culminated to the explosion of dopamine excitement at precisely 5:10 ....I can leave knowing I am now complete.

Hey that was really usefull.
Good video quality.

Also for anyone who is buying a 3d printer, make sure you look at the most recent videos, and no videos done by some dodgy ai voice. The 3D printing market has changed massively over the last year. Always make sure you're getting relevant and reliable reviews.

Really looking forward to your snap maker J1 review. Is that coming soon ?

[JA-fnle]

I'm up to 3 printers ranging from an Ender3 V2(tinker pit exhibit A) an Ender3 S1 Pro(tinker pit Exhibit B) and coming soon a Bambu Lab X1 Carbon Combo( hopefully very little tinkering with this one, Lol)

Really under subscribed content creator. Great job again!

[MaxwellsUnearthly]

My budget right now is around 1500, I want a flexible software, print directly to printer, great community and great quality, the size isn't really an issue, what would you recommend? Any suggestions are welcome, thank you!!

[dweb]

Great video really helped me out on getting started. But back to the size of the print size. Is there a happy medium between the ender 2 pro and ender?

[MXDBZZ]

I am willing to spend 1k max. Really considering the bambu x1c but i have seen some bad reviews and i am unsure by now.
