Trying to surprise my partner with a 3D printer
I always recommend the same two printers for all beginners because they’re just great starting points without spending a lot of money ($300-400 USD range). They are easy to use and learn, have all the features/specs you need, and are just quality/reliable machines. For just basic single color printi

Best Budget Printer
I've been using an Elegoo Centauri Carbon 2 Combo, and the more I dig into the actual hardware and features, the more I think it belongs in the discussion for cheapest genuinely well-rounded 3D printer. I'm not saying it's the absolute best printer in every category. I'm saying there aren't many mac

3D printer for under $300?
I think you need to do more research because you’re talking about very different technologies… resin printers (Mars 5) vs FDM printers (all the others you mentioned). Resin printers are much more complex to use due to the chemicals and fumes and mess they make, but they are great at printing small d

Decisions
They are both solid printers. If you want to hear the difference on what the shroud makes for the CC2 - here is a video of my CC2 prototyping a sword. You can hear the difference having the door open vs closed would sound like. https://imgur.com/a/elegoo-centauri-carbon-2-prototyping-sword-24-layer-

Which Printer help
What items do you want to print? What materials will you be printing from? How large of parts do you want print? Do you want multifilament/multicolor capability? Printing parts for automobiles is a lot different than printing miniatures for gaming, for example. Lots of overlap, but I would want your

3D printing advice
The Centari Carbon 2 is a pretty good printer. It has the ability to switch from 4 different filaments for printing in more than one color, and is very fast for an FDM printer. I got mine for $450 USD right on the day they went on sale. Elegoo also has pretty decent deals on PLA. I've also got an ol

Louis Rossmann taunts Bambu Lab by hosting banned 3D Printer firmware fork, dares $1 billion company to sue him — more creators pledge support and boycotts, Snapmaker donates equipment to embattled developer
The new Elegoo Centari Carbon 2 is good. Have the CC1 and it is amazing but doesn’t come with multi-color out of the box.

Hvilken 3D-printer bør jeg kjøpe, og hvorfra?
Kjøpte en Elegoo Centauri Carbon til 4000kr for litt siden og jeg er strålende fornøyd med hvor bra denne har vært i forhold til prisen. Var veldig usikker på hva jeg ville gå for, men den prisen i forhold til hvor bra den virket kunne jeg ikke si nei til. De kom ut med Centauri Carbon 2 kort tid et

Best enclosed 3d printer for beginners
P1S combo for sure. Or elegoo centauri carbon 1 if you need one for cheap without multicolor. Centauri carbon 1 is LOUD and can't do multicolor though. centauri carbon 2 is also good for multicolor and is 100 bucks cheaper than the p1s combo BUT the software kinda sucks. I own both so ultimately go

Elegoo Centauri Carbon 2 vs Flashforge AD5X
No layer lines is unrealistic, maybe you want a resin printer. Options to minimize and/or post treat are pretty broad. I have not compared side by side, but I'd expect comparable performance in that area. In practice, to me, the build place size is a pretty big difference, more than it seems on pape
