-
open to multiple filaments/filament mfg. large build volume, fairly decent layer resolution (tweaking to get there is fine just as long as its possible)
-
no DRM filament, easy maintenance, and acceptance of a wide variety of filaments! no ABS-only nonsense.
-
Quantity of prints, wifi and the ability to use different materials
-
High Resolution prints, low maintenance
-
-
affordaility and print size
-
after owning printer for 8 months the most important features are LCD controller and SD card compatible, good build volume (cross section > 8"x8"), and a heated build platform. Wont even consider buying a FDM printer without these
-
Being new to the field the thing that I am most looking for is the package of features for the least price. I want to get into the field on a budget while learning and then move up to something that is more capable and offers a larger build space.
-
The ability to reliably print using the entire build volume. Overall reliability as reported by the end users. Non-proprietary hardware and software. Build volume as a percentage of total machine size. Cost.
-
Very high resolution and the possibility to use filaments or resins from any manufacturer.
