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

I have two i3 clones and fully agree the first month or so was just tweaking the machine and printing parts to improve quality.

My Monoprice Duplicator i3 Plus from 2017 is still going after a LOT of tinkering. My Anycubic Chiron is more or less stock for better and worse. The z-wobble on both is about that last thing I need to do for quality improvements but I'm lazy.
