I've not used a 3D printer for years because I don't have room for one. If I had one I'd probably be printing vases for my plants. I'm new here from Reddit and I browsed regularly to keep me inspired for when I finally get a printer.

Even after buying one you might find that you still haven't used it for months on end. It can be extremely frustrating but rewarding when things work.

Once you fully design and print something from scratch you'll be riding that high for weeks because you've created something from nothing but a bunch of bytes and plastic string.

Some of the newly released printers are insanely feature rich and worth looking into. The Ender 3 is still a great budget option too if you don't mind some tinkering and winding up with the printer of Thesius after all the mods/changes you'll wind up making to it.
