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?
What is your use case for the printer? That might help inform your decision.
A Prusa is a pretty safe pick and more or less fire and forget from what I've seen.
I have older printers that are reliable after numerous upgrades (including a new board and adding auto-leveling) for larger parts and a resin printer for detailed stuff.
