Hi all! I would like to join the group of 3D printer owners but I don't have any experience. I don't want to buy a cheap printer just to find myself buying a better one in a few months so I set my price in the middle segment (I think).

I am going to set it up in my office which has AC but direct sun light for some hours a day. Is a full case recommended?

What printer can you recommend for me and what software (windows) can I use to design and print some parts?

If you need any more info please let me know.

Kind regards in anvance

FYI. The Bambu P1P is currently going for $599 USD. It’s a core xy , with impressive print speeds, with an upgrade path to a proven multi materials solution.

Since you are placing it near an AC, you’ll need to print the side panels to partially enclose it. Lots of community upgrades available.

Good luck.
