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

Having trouble choosing a printer...
Do you have the time to save a little more? I am telling you this because I also did this. I wanted to move from my old Anycubic Photon Mono 4K to something new and in the budget at that time was Elegoo Mars 5 Ultra. I use my printer for printing large armies, so this was an issue because the build

Is the Elegoo Mars 5 good for printing anime figures? Are resin printers the best choice?
Any half modern resin printer has great detail, the default mars 5 is only 4K, which I assume is worse than the mars 4 ultra which also currently is on sale and costs around 200 bucks on the Elegoo website. Print time scales with height of the print instead of volume, so a big build plate allows you
