So I broke down and got a 3D printer. I didn’t do as much research as I should have and I should have shopped around a bit more because it seems to have gone on sale since I’ve unpacked mine, but different company and there would have been shipping so sour grapes.

I settled on the AnyCubic Mega Pro from Amazon for $369, as I said I should have waited as it’s on sale for black Friday for about $50 less. Out of the box it was an easy setup, basically just install the upright portion and plug in some plugs. Then the real fun starts.
